Hey I'm Caleb. I started playing music at the age of 10 starting with guitar and bass. By the age of 15 I began playing drums. Shortly after, I was picked up by a nationally signed act called Blood of Me . After that, I moved to California for a few years and recorded my first full-length album. Once that band ran its course, I returned to St. Louis where I’ve been gigging locally and releasing albums with multiple bands covering many genres ranging from blues, funk, rock, pop, country, and metal Ruffneck Blues Band ,Cloud Machine and The Over dubs. Soon after I began teaching at Guitar Center, where I’ve been passionately teaching for the past 7 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
