Study With Johnny
Kenda Gardner
Johnny is an awesome and incredible instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about teaching. I couldn’t be more pleased with the progress my son has made in just one year with Johnny. He made learning both fun and effective.
I highly recommend Johnny to anyone serious about learning drums. You won’t be disappointed!
Testimonials
Lucas Lima
I’ve been taking lessons with Johnny Richeson for about four months now and I can honestly recommend him to anyone who is interested in growing as a drummer. It’s easy to see that he is more than qualified to be teaching drums given his experience and skill, but his fun, relatable, and kind personality is what makes his lessons exceptional. He is willing to work with you and cater the lessons to your interests and goals, without compromising the skills necessary to develop your repertoire and proficiency around the kit.
