Percussion lessons that strike the right chord
Private instruction for students of all levels — from first-time stick grip to university audition prep. We bring world-class training and a personal touch to every lesson.
Built on experience at the highest level
Striking Music provides musical instruction, consultation, and digital content with a focus on percussion. With an early background in the marching arts followed by extensive training in classical and contemporary percussion performance, we bring a holistic and widely informed perspective to students looking to advance their playing.
After working with hundreds of private students and taking high school groups to the highest levels of competition in the marching band scene, we know what students need to thrive — whether that's at the local, state, or national level.
Whether your child is picking up sticks for the first time or preparing for a college audition, we tailor our approach to meet each student where they are. We're invested in developing a personal connection with every family we work with, providing quality instruction and clear communication every step of the way.

Let's Talk →How we teach
Every student gets a curriculum designed specifically for them — not a one-size-fits-all method book.
Meet where you are
We start by understanding your student's current level, interests, and goals. Whether it's concert percussion, drumline, drumset, or mallets — we build from there.
Efficient curriculum design
Our materials are carefully curated to deliver the highest impact in the least amount of time. Every exercise and piece serves a specific developmental purpose.
Clear communication
Parents stay informed with regular updates, monthly statements, and direct access to the instructor. You'll always know how your student is progressing.
Performance-ready
From school band auditions to state competitions and college prep, we prepare students to perform with confidence when it matters most.
