Learning how to be loud

When I was a kid, music was where I turned when life got tough, when I wanted to build relationships, or when I wanted to express more than words could capture. As I got older, I knew I wanted to continue that expression for myself and help others experience it too. Making music is still one of my favorite activities and outlets in the world; I've built my life around it. I’m a teacher, drummer for the Blue Man Group, session musician, and music producer—and the founder of Loudlands Music Lab. 

Before we were Loudlands, we were Boston Drum Lessons and Boston Piano Lessons, founded in 2015. The goal was simple: share my passion with the community and help people build a meaningful music hobby. It is beyond exciting to watch people develop confidence and prove to themselves that they have music inside them. 

Being loud is as much about your confidence and unique identity as a musician as it is about turning up the volume. I want people to feel at home here—like they can express themselves fully and wholeheartedly. I want people to come from work or school to our studios, make an insane amount of noise, then go home feeling rejuvenated.

Oh, and quiet can also be loud. Think about it…

Let’s get loud,
