Teaching Testimonials

“We started our son’s lessons at 8 years old with Tido and Tido always is so patient and kind to him. In addition to teaching him how to read the rhythms really well, Tido allows room for so much creativity and fun. Our son looks forward to his lessons every week.”

“Tido Holtkamp is a great drum teacher for our son. He’s knowledgeable, professional and patient. He’s flexible and listens to our son, so creates a stress-free learning environment. As a result our son enjoys his lessons and has fun while also learning.”

-Emma

“I have been taking drumming lessons with Tido since I was eleven years old. He is an outstanding teacher and mentor. He explains everything really well, and he is good at explaining things in multiple ways.  Working with Tido, I have gotten to know the drum set much better. Tido teaches and challenges you, but he always keeps it fun and stress-free. He is the best drum teacher there is.”

-Nick

“We couldn’t be happier having Tido teach our son the drums. He has helped our son to become a better drummer, even helping him to successfully audition for the Northeast Regional Orchestra.  We have done in-person and Zoom lessons with Tido, and both work well. He is a pleasure to work with, a very calm and relaxing presence. We highly recommend drum lesson with Tido!”

-Anna

“Tido has been teaching me for many years, and through those years I have learned many new techniques of drumming, and have become a better overall drummer. He has been very beneficial to my drumming level within school and playing at home as well.
