5 /5 James Ryan: My 9-year-old that battles with severe anxiety takes drum lessons from Mr. Joey who is an amazing teacher. My son can be a hard nut to crack when it comes to the anxiety and for some reason Joey teaches in a way that keeps him engaged and calm and he doesnt get that anger or panic from messing up rather the want to learn and get it right. My wife and are very happy with him as a teacher and think hes great. In the three months that my son has taken lessons, he’s learned so much to the point we hear him play at home and walk in thinking he’s listening to a recording of someone else playing drums. Nope, it’s just him sounding like a rock star already.
