NYC Pro Percussionist teaches Drum and Percussion Lessons! All Ages and Levels Welcome

My daughter took percussion lessons from Will throughout high school. She improved so much with his help, giving her the confidence to tryout for and succeed in achieving more select positions in her high school music program. Will's teaching style is so positive and she liked that he kept lessons fresh—moving forward with new pieces and exercises fairly quickly. We highly recommend Will.

Will is a fantastic percussion teacher. My 13-year-old has progressed tremendously in snare drum and marimba in just four lessons. Will explains concepts clearly and concisely, and teaches solid percussion skills very effectively. We feel extremely fortunate to study with such an amazing teacher and would highly recommend him.

Will Richards is the most reliable and professional musician and educator that I know. As a player/performer, he is always prepared both in solo and group settings. As a colleague, he is trustworthy and reliable. As a teacher, he brings a unique set of skills and insights collected from his own studies into his work with his students. I highly recommend Will for students of any age/level.

Will is an awesome percussion teacher! He goes above and beyond in every capacity! He's been teaching my son various percussion instruments for the past 7 months and I've seen his playing improve exponentially. Beyond his superb teaching, he will send you an email after every lesson detailing the things that was covered and what you should work on for the next lesson. Truly a class act! I'm so happy we found him. Highly recommend!!!

Will is an amazing teacher, he makes things very easy to understand. He’s patient but also will push you to do your best. He will look at every little thing you do and he’ll do his best to polish it out. He is also well versed in all things percussion, whether that is keyboard, snare drum, hand percussion, drum kit, and any other axillary percussion. I would highly recommend him as a teacher.
