Growing up in rural Ireland I was always loved music but only to listen to. I had poor experiences with the piano, guitar and the banjo and was convinced I would never succeed in music.

 

Lessons were serious, seated and silent for the most part.

Although we were in groups there was no interaction with the other students.

I was on the brink of giving up music and didn’t like it at all when my parents made a last-ditch effort at the drums when I was 13 years old.

 

Now I was in business!

My fingers never lent themselves to guitar or piano but with drums I could shine. I loved the rhythm and energy that music brought. Since then I have been playing music non-stop. It has become my life and my passion. I have since gone back to learn guitar AND piano and can play many more instruments as well.

 

I realized that the setting for music lessons for youngsters was so important and that became the cornerstone of Drumadore – FUN!
