Testimonial:

“Jerad Lippi has been my instructor since I was seven years old. At seventeen, I still am learning more from him each week. He is a master of gauging where his students are at, and guiding them based on their individual potential and drive. As a young student of Jerad’s, drumming never felt like a chore. Rather, he explored and strengthened my musical inclinations with me, and exposed me to new music along the way. While we often work with long-term goals and work through books/repertoire, his lessons are always adaptable and fresh. I always leave my lessons with Jerad feeling better than when I entered. Whenever I’m approaching a competition or a deadline, he offers relevant guidance and advice, drawn from his diverse and impressive career as a professional who was once in my shoes. I owe each of my musical accomplishments in part to Jerad.”
