GLen Wallace
Drum Lessons - Glen Wallace
Thank you for submitting a request for more information on Drum Lessons with Glen Wallace. We will be in touch shortly to see how we can help you achieve your goals and share in the power of music!
As a lifelong musician, I know the importance of finding the right teacher for an instrumentalist--some of my most important influences in my youth were the private music instructors with whom I worked. I began teaching younger students while I was still in high school, and eventually graduated with a degree in Music Education from Ball State
University in 2012; ever since, I've been teaching students of all ages in any capacity I can find! After moving to the Burlington area in 2013, I began performing in a variety of ensembles (from funk to country, symphonic bands to jazz bands) all across New England. Prior, I toured the country with the Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps, playing for sold out crowds across the country. Whether you're looking for help with reading drum music or mastering a certain style,
whether you've been playing drums for years or are just picking up sticks, whether you're 8 or 68, I'm confident we can work together to help make you the kind of drummer you want to be.
