Let’s get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit! I’d love to learn more about your goals in music, your needs, and your strengths as a learner. 

Who are your favorite bands and drummers? Do you learn best by ear or do you want to read sheet music? What role do you want music to play in your life? I create custom-designed curricula based on your goals, needs, and strengths, drawing from a wide array of studies and practices, sharing with you an array of inspiring resources in a fun, relevant, engaging, and ultimately meaningful way. I have played all over the world, in different genres and cultural settings. And I have taught at many different studios, from Music & Arts to Bach 2 Rock.

There is no contract and I am flexible in payment plans. If money is a concern, please still reach out to me. Everyone deserves the chance to learn the drums. 

Check out Google Reviews for  Drum Lessons with Dannie Snyder

“Absolutely the best percussion teacher in the area. Incredibly knowledgeable and fully engaged with her students on an individual level. A positive role model for young students and a wealth of wisdom for the older musician branching out into the scene… Danny is devoted to bringing out the best in her students. Coming from my own musical background and seeing her work with my teen I highly recommend her.”

“My two girls aged 4 and 8 are currently taking weekly percussion lessons with Dannie and they love it! She has such great energy and the girls love her so much. Every week they cant wait to go and see her. And both of them are making serious progress in a very short time! I highly recommend Dannie for you or your child’s lessons.”

“My daughters are currently taking drum lessons with Dannie, and they absolutely love it! She’s incredibly talented, professional, and always punctual. Her teaching style makes learning fun and engaging, and we’ve seen such great progress already. We highly recommend Dannie to anyone looking for a skilled and inspiring drum teacher!”
