1st Lesson is FREE Consultation
We call it a consultation because, much like a doctor, the 1st lesson consists of diagnosing the students strengths, weaknesses, and their goals as a drummer. Whereas a doctor would form a treatment plan, Andrew instead forms a lesson plan in order to address any shortcomings and set goal to achieve in a systematic manner.
This is completely FREE OF CHARGE, no strings attached!
Remember the 1st lesson also allows the student a chance to get to know their instructor, so this is your chance to see if you and Andrew “click” on a personal level.
