What You’ll Gain
Student Success Stories
“Christian has taught our son for over 6 years and has been an amazing teacher and influence on him. Our son was more than prepared to perform for the marching band in high school and also made the concert band during his first year of college.
Christian has the great ability to teach the necessary skills and also explain the why as well. We can’t thank him enough for the great experience he provided our son.”
“We absolutely love Christian as a private lesson teacher! He’s super efficient during the lesson time, extremely knowledgeable, and not to mention wonderful to chat with! He’s gone above and beyond for us. And my son really enjoys working with him! Highly, highly recommend Christian Dorn!”
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to own a full drum kit?
A: No—if space or budget is tight, we can start on practice pads and work up to a kit. I can also recommend compact, affordable setups.

A: Yes! In addition to drum set, I offer percussion lessons on instruments like concert snare drum, marimba, mallets, and all aspects of percussion education - perfect for high school and college percussionists wanting a well-rounded education.
