What Students Say
"My son has been taking drumming lessons from Chris for over 5 years. He started when he was 9 years old. I believe Adam stuck with the lessons for so long because of Chris' personality and his teaching abilities with kids. Chris has been able to encourage my son over the years... he has taught him to practice... he has taught him how to read music... and how to play the drums! This was no easy task for a teacher as Adam has learning disabilities and learning is not always easy for him. One amazing thing is that over the years Adam has never not wanted to go to his drum lesson. But now as a freshman in high school, Adam is now a member of the drumline in his marching band. Don't bother looking for anyone else, sign up for lessons with Chris now!"
"I've been taking lessons from Chris for three years since 6th grade. He has helped me out with everything from snare to jazz drumming and has greatly improved my skill and technique. Chris is very talented in both playing drums and instruction in playing drums; and I believe he is one of the best if not the best at teaching percussion in the area."
"I have taken lessons from Chris for several years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. He is a very talented and accomplished drummer. As a teacher he strives to make the lessons interesting and maintains a pace that helps me advance at a rate that best suits my desires and abilities. It is a great feeling to leave after my lesson knowing each time I have learned something new."
"Chris Ellison is pretty much the best teacher I've ever had. He's better than all my high school teachers, even my AP Economics one! He's easy to learn from and committed to his students. He shows an interest in his students lives both in and outside of drumming. Could not recommend him enough!"
"My son has studied percussion with Chris Ellison for 4 years. Chris has helped him to prepare for auditions, Honor Band and Solo & Ensemble contests. He has worked with him on a wide variety of music - from marching band to symphonic band to jazz/drum set. Chris is a talented and enthusiastic teacher who is genuinely interested in my son's progress."
