“Taking lessons with Stephen Flinn was a really rewarding experience. His approach to keeping the body relaxed at all times helped me gain control, speed, endurance, and most of all a real SOUND.” Will Dean. Independent.
“Stephen is a teacher who believes in his students. He not only has efficient teaching methods, but he is able to mold every lesson to his students' progress. I saw my gift sky rocket after the first lesson.” Patricia Diaz, drummer for Christian City Church.
“My son, Chandler, started taking drum lessons from Stephen in January of 2009. Chandler was 6 years old when he started and just recently turned 7 in May. I am completely amazed at how much he has learned and how focused he stays... especially for his age. Stephen is great with him and presents his instruction in a way that keeps it fun for my son. I can't believe how much Chandler has learned in such a short time. The way he teaches the kids to sing along with the notes when they play is so effective! Chandler can already play along with a few songs that Stephen has provided him on a CD. Chandler really looks forward to going to his drum lessons and what he will learn next. From teaching the kids how to hold the sticks properly and how to read and play the music, I would highly recommend Stephen as a drum teacher. He is not only an awesome and very patient teacher with the kids, but he is also very kind and professional with the parents. If you or anyone you know is looking for a drum teacher I would most definitely recommend Stephen.” Kelly DeJong.
