Ready To Rock Studios

"Rick has been teaching my daughter drums for the past 5 years. My daughter adores him. Besides being a great drummer and musician, he is patient, funny, and keeps her engaged with a wide range of music. They have done classic rock to new music my daughter listens to, where Rick has gone out of his way to listen to her music and write out the drum parts for her. He is a super kind person and great teacher! If you want a music teacher your child will actually look forward to to seeing week after week, then Rick is definitely for you!" 

Dr. Austin Churchill, MD / Great Falls VA

"I love my lessons with Rick because, at first, I was someone who couldn't even play a single instrument and thought I would never learn...now I can play at least 9 Taylor Swift songs on my guitar." 

Jilli Rothenberger, 9 years old, Oakton VA

"Rick is a great drum teacher! He is able to teach in a way that's easy to understand. Rick allows his students to select songs they want to learn, which makes it fun to practice!"

Nora Tiller, 50 years old, Vienna VA

"Rick has a creative, friendly, logical approach to teaching. He is kind-hearted and worked to create a meaningful connection that made my child (Fenneka Austin, 8 years old) happy, comfortable, and excited to learn!"

Brian Austin, Portland Oregon
