Ben started playing drums in 2000 and decided pretty early it was what he wanted to do for a career. He studied Jazz Performance at Humber College in Toronto, Ontario. He began teaching in 2009 and took to it immediately, finding it incredibly rewarding to help students achieve their musical goals and to watch their progress on their instrument. In addition to teaching, he has played shows across Canada and the USA, along with a few cruise contracts that were based in the Caribbean. Ben also enjoys learning/playing other instruments such as guitar, bass, piano and recently has been working to become fluent in music production. His lesson structure is based upon learning various styles of music, developing a strong sense of groove/feel, developing solid time keeping, technique and not only how to become a great drummer, but how to become a great musician. Ben teaches Drums at our Winnipeg Henderson location.
His rate is $28 per half hour.

Born into a family of musicians, Kieran has been surrounded by music his entire life. When it came time to make the "career choice," there really wasn't any other option. Kieran graduated in 2020 from Brandon University with a Bachelor's of Music Degree in Jazz Performance (drum set) with distinction, and as member of the Dean's list. Through his four years at BU, he had the opportunity to learn from and work with some brilliant musical minds, and through those experiences gained invaluable knowledge about the language of music and what it really means to play music with other people - along with everything else that comes with a music degree. Kieran has been a private drum set instructor and clinician for the last 7 years and has worked with students of all ages and skill levels. His goal as an instructor is to encourage musical growth while maintaining the impetus of why we play music in the first place - music is fun and it can take us to a place that nothing else does.
Kieran teaches at both our Henderson and Pembina locations, and his lesson rate is $28/half hour.
