Our son enrolled in lessons with Mr. Martin when he was just eight years old, and we could not have asked for a finer drum instructor. Mr. Martin was highly recommended to us by parishioners whose sons were also was enrolled in his classes. When we first met Mr. Martin, I was very impressed by his friendly personality and his enthusiasm for teaching. His positive communication and shared laughter set the stage for an enjoyable lesson. Six years later, our son attends a music conservatory and performs as a lead percussionist. He notes his favorite lessons are with Mr. Craig Martin. Mr. Martins ability to teach and motivate his students with laughter and musical expertise is a rare gift very few teachers possess. Mr. Martin is a very professional, cheerful and exceptionally talented drummer. I give him our highest accolades as a music instructor, and our deepest appreciation for instilling his enthusiasm for music in our son.

My eight year old is thrilled with lessons! Craig goes above and beyond and his patience with the attention span of a young kid is admirable. Craig makes it fun and challenging and we couldn't be happier!
