“My 8 year old son is literally taking off with the drums under Mr. Phil’s instruction!! And my daughter is learning guitar at his school too. Great place to learn music no matter what age!”

—Jeanne Antoinette


Music Lessons Held in a Professional Recording Studio

Our all music lessons take place in a professional recording studio. Phil teaches beginner and advanced drum lessons using all drum techniques using two acoustic drum sets and choosing from hundreds of sound tracks minus the drums. Lessons include all drums techniques and musical styles, playing side by side where I take moments to interject at the appropriate time. Soon enough, we will play together through entire tracks and develop flawless habits!

Phil also teaches beginner music lessons for guitar, piano and voice, please ask about our our advanced instructors for piano, guitar and voice lessons.

I can’t recall how I came across Potter’s. Maybe it was word of mouth or the reviews? Maybe a marketing sign? Either way, I’m glad I did. Mr. Phil is hands down one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. He knows his drums, and I’d say a little thing or two about life as well. I was flying helicopters, and getting multiple certifications for helicopters on top of taking drum lessons and getting a master’s degree at the time. Mr. Phil never let me lose motivation. He always made sure I practiced, kept my head down, and did what I needed to do to succeed. Despite the fact I had so much going on, I kept my head down, learned a lot, he even showed me how to put my first drum set together. He’s a great instructor, very passionate about his craft, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He gets every star in the book. Thanks again Mr. Phil.

Phil has been teaching my two girls beginner piano and my son drums every week for over 6 months now and I’m so thankful we found him! He pushes the kids to do better and better, and I’ve seen such a big improvement in their music skills. Thank you Phil!

My daughter really enjoys Mr. Phil as her drum teacher and “playing a beat” with him. She loves the drums, and we are so blessed to have found him to teach her. He is patient, thorough, and it is obvious that he truly loves what he does and is great at it. It’s awesome to get to witness my daughter improve weekly with Mr. Phil’s guidance. Thank you, Mr. Phil, for showing her what she is capable of and helping improve her confidence. 🥁🧍‍♂️🙏😊

My son started taking lessons w Phil when he was 12. He is now 27 and still plays. At age 25 he played the drums with a professional band at his own wedding and band members said “wow you are a really good drummer !”. Phil instilled a love for music in my son that is alive and kicking today.

Phil is a great drummer and teacher. I came to Phil after I restarted playing the drums again about a year ago. I have learned so much from him and continue to learn every time I’m there with him. I highly recommend visiting him no matter what your skill level is.
