Matt Scrabis Drum Lessons

Matt was a great teacher for my 6 yr old son! A perfect combination of ‘lets jam’ & ‘lets learn’. He was able to keep my sons attention through patience & perseverance. My son now understands how to read music & how to improvise a beat. Thank you Matt, I am sure Nino will be back to jam again!

Words cannot express the gratitude my husband I feel towards Matt Scrabis!
When our son first started taking lessons with Matt, he was a shy kid who
still needed to find his way in music. Having taken drum lessons for a couple of
years already, he was starting to develop some confidence in the art, but was still a ways away.
All I can tell you is, our son has been on an incredible musical journey. When he started taking lessons with Matt, he was introduced to jazz drum. My husband and I are huge fans of jazz… so we were thrilled when our son started learning jazz theory!
Matt inspired our son to WANT to practice everyday, which is sometimes hard to get a kid to do! In addition, Matt’s own enthusiasm for music definitely inspired our son to learn more about the progression of jazz throughout the decades. It became more than just knowing how to play jazz, it was about understanding and appreciating that genre of music. Needless to say, our son’s drumming skill took off like a rocket.
Not only did Matt help him with his music, but he helped him with his self confidence. As a 6^th grader who only had a little bit of band experience in elementary school, our son had the confidence and courage to join the Middle School Jazz Band… a group of dedicated students who attend a non graded class before school. It’s a competition group that doesn’t see a lot of 6^th graders. Since that day, our son’s drumming ability has continued to soar. At the end of this school year, he has a lot on his musical «resume». He competed on drum kit with the award winning jazz band, on percussion for the award winning Marching and Symphonic bands, and on snare with the award winning Drum Line! This would NOT have been possible without his weekly lessons with Matt. We’re very happy parents!
