Student Testimonials
"When I took lessons with Aya, she helped me develop the necessary knowledge needed to get to the next level, I had felt I had plateaued in my marching arts career always coming up short at indoor auditions for snare. Aya also rejuvenated and gave me hope as I was learning a different way on how to approach aspects of rudimental drumming every week ! Aya knows what world class groups are looking for, so if you really want to get to that next level Aya is a 100% must!!"

“When I took lessons with Aya, I walked away with a plethora of information on drumming and approach. Her diverse background of the many DCI and WGI groups she’s marched allowed her to be very versatile in explaining the different philosophies and styles of drumming of these groups. When away from lessons, her video evaluations were very detailed and revealed exactly what is holding you back when playing. Every lesson offered a lot of information to work on throughout the week, which in turn, improved my hands rapidly. Her explanations of drumming concepts were easy to follow, and she made sure to get you enough reps to make sure your hands felt comfortable with these concepts. I enjoyed her teaching style very much and it helped me grow exponentially as a drummer. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I would have never been able to realize my true potential in drumming without the amazing tips and tools I learned through Aya. The ideology behind her teachings make you understand how to use the drum, not just simply how to play it."
- John D.
"Taking lessons with Aya was definitely an eye opener for me in my drumming journey. Her highly trained ear came in clutch in noticing discrepancies in my playing, which I couldn’t hear myself. She never failed to give high quality feedback, teaching not only what to fix, but how to fix it. A necessity to growing as a snare drummer, and a musician."
- Drew W.
My lessons with Aya started at the beginning of quarantine, and we worked together all summer in preparation for my junior year. Needless to say I progressed more in those few months then I did all past season. I went from barely being able to keep up with my class mates to being second chair! The improvement was noticeable and she explained things in a way that made sense to me, and I had a fun time while learning!

The lessons were absolutely superb! From the lessons I was able to refine my technique, and be able to get instant feedback just like lessons in person. I also liked the organization aspect of the lessons; We were able to accomplish different milestones with such little time because of how efficient the lessons were. The lessons were also flexible with my schedule and overall improved myself as a musician. Overall a great investment for any passionate percussionist.
