Testimonials
"I've been taking our 13yr old Noah for lessons with Matt for over a year now. In this time Noah has come on leaps and bounds. With drumming and his social life at school. The friends he's met, his confidence and the trends he's into.
It has changed his life.
In all honesty Matt has played such a huge part in this. An amazing teacher who uses patience, humour, talent and personality to achieve it. He keeps things very interesting and engaging from lesson to lesson.
Noah is fast becoming a very good musician. I would whole heartedly recommend DN School Of Drums, and thank Matt for his awesome teachings."
