I grew up in Fargo ND and have been playing guitar since I was 6 years old. My Mother inspired me to learn and play all sorts of instruments at a young age. I was inspired by her and my first guitar teacher growing up to create music. This created a drive to become a better musician. I went to college for music not only to educate myself, but to educate others in the future. When I graduated, I began teaching my friends and family how to play different instruments for fun. Later I moved to Bloomington where I began teaching professionally at their Guitar Center location. I recently transferred here, Fargo, to continue teaching at guitar center and to create music with my band.

Hi, my name is Seth. Music is a way of life for me. Since before I could walk, I was finding a way to “play on drums” - whether that would be banging on the floor, clapping my hands, or even whacking things together. I first started playing drums when I was four, and for the last 15 years I have been greatly improving my craft. Throughout my high school years, I was able to claim three percussion all-states and two jazz band all-states playing the drums. Over the past seven years, piano has also become a huge part of my musical life. Although I am not classically trained, I can teach how to read sheet music, play chords, and the theory behind the music. I currently work at a church as a worship resident and I play there every week, but I love teaching the thing that has become my life: music. The genres that tend to fit me the best are gospel, jazz, and your modern day pop.

Hi, my name is Cayden. I am currently set to graduate in May from Concordia College in Moorhead with a major in Guitar Performance. I have been playing guitar for 12 years and have been studying it at a collegiate level for 4 years. My gigging experience is primarily in jazz music, in both big band and combo settings, though I also have experience with other genres, such as rock, pop, and classical. I began my collegiate career as a music education major, where I gained valuable knowledge in best instructional practices and music pedagogy. I take great pride in having the opportunity to aid others in their musical journey, and I place great value in the relationships I have formed, and will continue to form, though the world of music.

I am a life long tapper and have been playing drums on everything as long as I can remember. I played in parade drum lines, drum corps, and did percussion and drumset throughout high school. After a bit of misadventures I auditioned for the Marines as a drummer/percussionist. After boot camp and going through the Armed Forces School of Music I played for the Marine Corps band stationed in New Orleans. I played in marching, concert, and small group bands. I also listened to as much of the great jazz music in the area as I could on my own time. After the Marines I went to college at NDSU for Microbiology and Medical Laboratory Sciences. I also re enlisted in the Army National Guard reserves, in North Dakota, as a drummer. I spent 15ish years in the Army and also deployed to Iraq in 2009 with Red Bull Infantry Division out of Minnesota. I played in music ensembles throughout Iraq, as well as did missions, while trying not to bake alive in the wonderful weather they have over there. With North Dakota I played in every ensemble they have including Rock, Jazz, small ensemble, Concert Band, whomever wanted a drummer I’d step up and play. I retired in 2018 after 20 years of service as a Staff Sergent. I previously worked for the Social Security administration until I decided I needed to get back to my music. I am currently playing with a worship band in Fargo at Faith United Methodist Church. I have done all sorts of gigs in the area and love playing drums in almost any and all times and places. I bring my best experience to my teaching, and reach for just a bit more to bring out the best drummer in my students. Every student I teach wants something different from their music experience, as long as it’s getting into music and drums, I will do the best I can so they can find their own groove.

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.
