DRUM SET AND PERCUSSION LESSONS

Our drum instructors are Scott Shafer who is a Berklee School of Music Alumni and Darryl Pellegrini who is a Grammy Award nominated drummer who has a Master’s Degree from Manhattan School of Music. These highly qualified and experienced instructors will guide you through a step by step process. Students will know exactly what to practice at home each week and will have the resources and support they need to do attain proficiency over time. We have a double drum set setup in our studio for drum lessons as you can see in the photo which is very convenient so that the instructor and student don’t have to keep switching places and is especially good for social distancing during the pandemic. Drum Lessons revolve around the fundamentals of modern drumming, technique, rhythm and reading music notation through a variety of exercises such as paradiddles, drum beats, songs and transcriptions. With some daily practice at home, students will gradually progress through the levels as they gain confidence and proficiency with the instructors weekly assignments and goals that are easily attainable with at least some daily practice at home. Drum lessons are for adults and kids and you don’t need any previous experience to start. Students should be at least age 6 to start although you can always take a trial lesson just to try it and see.

I took lessons from Landon for about a half of a year every week. He is very knowledgeable and is well versed in his music knowledge including music theory. No matter what songs I brought to Landon he always knew how to teach me and learn the song him self in a very proficient manner.

Taking as little as eight electric guitar lessons from Landon Mattox has taught me a lot. Landon is a great teacher that takes his time to teach you as much as he can at a pace that is comfortable for you. Landon also teaches fun songs to learn with and if you take the initiative to practice and learn, it will take you a long way. Also, Landon has great methods to improve your overall guitar playing experience. He makes lessons and learning the guitar very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend taking lessons from him.

Mr. Landon is a great guitar teacher. I have been taking lessons from him for quite a while now and I can tell you that I have learned a ton. Unlike most teachers, who will traditonaly force music on to you, he wants you to learn what you are interested in. All in all, very good teacher with lots of musical knowledge to back it up.

One of the most qualified as well as fun and creative guitar teachers in Hawaii. He's got experience from all over the world. I've taken guitar lessons from many teachers but Landon is one of my favorites. His approach has always been creative and I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. He can teach both adults and kids and seems to be able to connect with anyone. He's always been encouraging while pushing me to do even more. After studying with Landon it opened up a whole new world for me. You need to contact this guy if you want guitar lessons and your on Oahu.

My son has been taking guitar lessons from Landon for the past six years. My son's skills have improved and he is able to play some impressive pieces thanks to Landon. Landon is teaching him both the acoustic guitar and electric guitar. He is very patient and supportive. My son enjoys the lessons because of the supportive experience and I think Landon has helped him build a love for the guitar that will stay with him for life.

I have been taking weekly lesson with Landon for 15 months and I can't begin to tell you how fun, challenging and creative the lessons are. I had never picked up a bass before this and now I'm on my third bass book and creating bass lines. Dream come true.

My son Hunter (age 9) took lessons with Landon over the last year. During our first lesson Landon assisted us with choosing a guitar that was the right body size for Hunter. I was able to sit in on the first few lessons with them so I understood what Hunter needed to practice. Landon's directions for practicing were very clear and easy to follow. Hunter showed improvement weekly when he practiced 15 minutes per day.
