Very kind , knowledgeable instructor
Flexible hours. Great with kids !!!
Steve knows his stuff. He knows how to teach without pressure. He’s so positive !!

Steve is a great teacher. He made sure you had fun and learned at the same time. He didn't put pressure on you and let's you go at your pace. When we would learn something new he would ask what kind of music you like and favorite songs and would let you practice playing what you liked to keep you interested, involved and having fun. I would highly recommend Steve. I always enjoy my lessons.

Steve taught our daughter drums lessons from second grade up until 8th grade. He is patient, kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. I have recommended him many times over the years and have only gotten fantastic feedback. Steve a wonderful teacher!

Steve Decker is a talented instructor, he has a wealth of knowledge about drums and is focused on developing well rounded drum students. First class instruction, very patient and pleasant I highly recommended Steve Decker as an instructor.

Steve is incredibly accomplished but my favorite thing about him is how he approaches teaching. He is so amazing with kids and is able to teach them skills and artistry. He leads with kindness and meets your kid where they are.

They are fun- Jaxon (7 yr old drummer)

I think Steve is incredibly patient and motivating. My son Jaxon started taking lessons with him when he was 4 ( so about 3 years now) and he continues to engage his students— even over FaceTime!

One of the most patient teachers ever; no matter how little you practice every week he’ll still take the time to help you work through the parts you struggle with, without a single hint of disappointment or agitation. Very open minded and very talented, he tailors what he teaches you with what you like to play. I’d never be the drummer I am now without Steve.

Steve is an excellent drum instructor. His structured methods and techniques are a result of a lifetime of playing, teaching and being involved in the music industry.
Because of Steve’s patience, lessons are relaxed, no pressure sessions. He’s great with kids and adults. I’ve learned more about drumming from Steve than I ever imagined I could.
Great teacher. I highly recommend him.

Steve has been my drum teacher ever since I was 9 years old. He is very understanding and accommodating. He really gets to know his students and bonds with them. Over the years Steve has taught me so much and made me an excellent drummer. His teaching style is perfect and definitely gets results. Steve’s experience with drumming really shows through his teaching. I’m glad he’s been my drum teacher for as long as he has! He is family now!

Steve encouraged my creative side and taught me to think outside the box. He was a major inspiration for going into music and taught me lessons not just on the kit but in life. I'll always treasure my lessons with him.

I had the pleasure of studying with Steve for several years. He is extremely patient and provides amazingly clear instruction. He quickly determines a student's strengths and uses them to encourage growth. Steve's personable, relaxed, and one of the most incredible drummers I've ever heard. Don't hesitate to give Steve a try.

Great teacher finds fun ways to teach you all about drums and can get you to the level you want to be at and blew my mind every time he would play

Lessons specifically tailored to the individual teaching a perfect mixture of musicality, theory, and live experience into a music education that will benefit a musician in the real world. His love and commitment to music shines through in every lesson and you can tell music is in every fiber of his being. This was more than just drum lessons, but rather teachings that could be applied to many facets of life. After lessons with Steve I am forever changed, and I see music as more than just a hobby or release/outlet for emotions, but rather something sacred akin to religion. I can not recommend Steve and his teaching methods enough.
