My daughter has just started drum lessons with Garin Rosen and we couldn't be more impressed. She has shown significant growth in such a short amount of time. His lessons are thoughtfully structured and incredibly well-rounded, covering not only the technical aspects of drumming--such as rhythm, timing, and music theory--but also encouraging creativity and personal expression. Rosen's high-energy lessons feel upbeat, engaging, and genuinely motivating. He helps my daughter set meaningful goals. --whether they're dreaming of joining a band or simply exploring their love of music. My daughter looks forward to her lesson every week. She is motivated to practice and continues to become more confident in her skills. Whether your child is dreaming of joining a band or wanting to explore a new instrument, Rosen will bring unmatched energy and dedication to every class. My husband and I would highly recommend Garin Rosen. read more

when I started talking lessons from Garin 3 years ago I had been in a band and was 100% self taught. I had hit a wall musically and realized I really didn't fully understand the drums as an instrument. Garin has been awesome! He is invested in his students as individuals. His lessons are designed to build skills, coordination, and understanding of the drums as a musical instrument . Put in the work and I'll guarantee your abilities will sky rocket! I'm miles ahead of were I was. now I can sit in with bands and contribute the energy that drums were meant to have. I'm 60 and Im going to play as long as I can read more

My son has had drum lessons with a number of teachers in both LA and Corvallis, but none of them come close to Garin. He's passionate, energetic, and completely in tune with his students. Every lesson feels more like a jam session than a class, and our kid walks out fired up and ready to play. More than anything, we wanted our kid to fall in love with music and feel free to be creative, and Garin has 100% delivered on that. Garin's love for music is infectious, and the way he supports the local scene shows just how much he lives and breathes this stuff. We're very lucky to have found him. read more

We love Garin! I've got a hard-hitting, fast-moving son on my hands, and each and every week, he meets his match in Garin. When he's not sure if he can do something, Garin offers a swift positivity that is absolutely contagious. He believes my kid can drum, and week after week, we're seeing evidence that this belief is true. He inspires my guy to practice and is able to hold him to just the right standard. And, as a bonus, he's a fabulous human for my boy to look up to. We count our lucky stars that we get to have Garin in our corner! I'd recommend lessons with him in a heartbeat! read more
