Mr. Brandon has been Kaelyn’s drum teacher since January of 2022, and has shared his thoughts on teaching Kaelyn:  

" In the time that I've had Kaelyn as a student, they have shown not only complete focus and dedication to learning how to play drums, but also a willingness to go above and beyond by putting in the extra effort to be one step ahead of lessons. Kaelyn always arrives with the energy of not just wanting to learn drums, but wanting to be great at drums.”
