Kyle grew up knowing nothing but music. His dad was a professional guitarist and became lead guitarist for a few bands in the area while Kyle was growing up. His brother studies and plays Jazz guitar and Kyle is currently a drummer for the band St. Vith. When he's not practicing and playing drums for his band, he is here at Lion's Will teaching you how to play your favorite songs on the guitar! He's a multi-talented musician. He tells us that the most popular requests he gets are learning songs by Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, AC/DC and more! Kyle can teach you the guitar from a method book or free form. He can also teach any solo from a song most especially playing blues patterns (very common in most rock songs). 

"I want to build a healthy foundation that exists on technique and theory. I won't just teach them the how-to's but also why it works."

Kyle also likes to teach general music and theory knowledge during his lessons as it may make you a more complete guitarist and musician. Get Guitar Lessons with Kyle and learn more than just Guitar Scales and Riffs!

Elliot has played drums for over 15 years. He started off as any impressionable young man wanting to learn music. He began with the drums at 10 years old and decided to switch drums a year later. Elliot was the only person in his family who wanted to pick up an instrument so he decided to teach himself how to play the drums. Through much practice, he mastered all styles of drumming and is now the drummer at the band High Pines. Elliot has an affinity for teaching drums as it reminds him of when he first started learning how to play the drums. He teaches all styles of drumming including rock and jazz which are his favorites. Elliot tells us that he teaches drums systematically with an emphasis on counting as it is the most important fundamental in playing drums. 

"Drums are based on a feeling. Once you understand and master the basics, it makes it easier to develop your own playing style."

Julia and her whole family love having a good time. So much so, that everyone has picked up an instrument and she wondered which instrument she could play. She saw that no one in the family played an orchestral instrument yet so she picked up the violin at 10 years old. Ever since then she's studied mainly classical violin and is currently studying American, Canadian and Irish fiddling styles for the violin. 

"There's nothing like being part of a group. I love being in an orchestra or a band. I love being part of something bigger than myself."

Hip hip hooray for our Owner Brian! Brian is a professional singer-songwriter as well and would like to extend his expertise to artists who would like to create their own songs
