We send all of our drummers that need honing in before both studio or touring to Drum Works Lesson Studio. Some online- and some in person and no matter what the situation; Scotts ability to customize drum lessons to suite exactly what each student needs is unmatched. He is open and positive no matter what the situation, and teaches every student according to their personality. We have sent brand new drummers as well as seasoned road dogs his way! No cookie cutter lessons going on here! Highly Recommended!

I love taking online lessons with Scott! Super easy to work into my busy schedule since I never have to leave my house! As a beginner its been a great way to start!

Scott Calandra is an excellent educator. Scotts expertise goes beyond teaching students how to play the instrument. Scott is well-versed in understanding the components of the drum kit, music theory and genres of music. Scott is aware of the needs of his students such that he is able to tailor lessons to the personality, ability and creativity of his students. If I could add another star to this review I would. You cant go wrong with Scott!!!

Ive been working with drum works studios for 4 years. I have to say Scott is an amazing teacher, hes incredibly knowledgeable and he cares about all his students. He makes personalized lessons based on how you learn and itd always fun and enjoyable. My drumming has greatly improved since Ive been working with him and I would highly recommend drum works studios!

Scott is a fantastic instructor. He is not only extremely skilled at playing the drums but is very in tune with his students learning style, strengths and weaknesses. He is tactful and constructive with his approach and able to get the best out of his students.

I started taking lessons at 60 yrs. of age. Having no experience Scott has taken me to a level I never thought possible in just 2 yrs. Scotts yrs. of experience, positive feedback and ability to make you comfortable add to the enjoyment of taking lessons. He will make your drumming experience enjoyable and fun for all ages. Scott is a great mentor and friend. With Scotts help I look forward to playing the drums for many more years. Scott is the go to guy for drumming. Hes the best !!! Doug Hiddie

When my daughter wanted to learn to play the drums three years ago I decided I didnt want a cookie cutter teacher from a music store to teach her. I wanted someone with a passion and love of teaching for Delancy. Scott certainly delivered that and more. From day one I could feel Scotts passion and love of his instrument. He is an amazing teacher and is always open to his students input. Scott has become part of our family and when he moved to Nashville, he made sure that Delancys drum lessons could continue via the web. I am so glad because we would never give up on Scott and seeing he dedication, I know he will never give up on his students.

I highly recommend Drum Works Studios, Scott Calandra is an amazing instructor, very patient with my daughter. When he moved to Nashville, he worked with us so that she can continue her lessons via SKYPE.My daughter would not go to anyone else, he is one of the best instructor/teacher she’s ever had.
