About John, and How2drum

John began taking drum lessons at age 3, and piano lessons at age 6. Over the last 7 years, he has built a solid musical foundation in melody, rhythm and sight reading.

We are a a music loving household, and spend most weekends (and afternoons) jaming in our home studio. John and his sister are surrounded by instruments, and audio technology. We don’t waste time in front of screens, but rather spend time together, as a family rocking out!

The drums are John’s first love, with guitar, and piano quickly catching up. While only still in primary school, he plans to achieve second grade in Piano, and is already good enough to jam with senior high school friends. This has only come through great teaching, tireless practice, and pure passion for the craft.

This blog will document our adventures together in music, and some of the lessons we have learnt as parents supporting young musicians.
