“This is one of the best community-based centers for kids!
My son received drumming lessons and tutoring for the Math Regents here, and the results were incredible—he scored in the 90th percentile and is now preparing to audition for his school band.
I truly love this center and everything they’ve done for him!”
“I am a returning senior student who studied with Nick Russo over twenty years ago, as did my then teenage son. Then and now, Nick has been a knowledgeable and generous teacher. He is enthusiastic, encouraging, and patient. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but Nick is certainly teaching me some.
Since I have been playing guitar for almost 60 years, technique is not our main focus. What Nick has been helping me develop and improve is my ear. He is enabling me to hear more, sing more, and play more interesting music. I am optimistic that with Nick’s guidance I will achieve my goals. Having had experience as a student of Nick’s and as a parent of a student of Nick’s, I highly recommend Nick Russo as a teacher.”
“Bobby Spellman is an incredible teacher. I do not exaggerate, I feel honoured that I have such a great teacher. I look forward to our classes all week and I really enjoy learning anything I can think of about the trumpet (and, of course - jazz).
He sets me homework that feels really fun and if I’ve struggled with anything, he normally fixes it straight away. The one thing we struggled with was some distortion that I had on higher notes. He said I was the one person he has ever advised to hold the mouth piece closer to my lips. It instantly worked!
Bobby has a wealth of experience as a teacher and is incredibly kind and patient, however, more importantly - he is a highly skilled performer! (Check his albums out, they are great)!
Thank you Bobby!”
