Experienced tutor in Drum in Marietta, Chuck offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Chuck is a friendly, knowledgeable, and patient teacher. He finds a way to make group classes work for people at different levels which always amazes me. He is encouraging, while at the same time he tries to help you reach greater proficiency. He is talented at working with people of all ages and levels.

I have learned more drumming essentials with Chuck than anything else I have done. He is infinitely patient with me and fellow drummers.

Chuck is extremely talented, patient and personable. He offers instruction with the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend his teaching!!!!

Chuck is a wonderful teacher. He's always cheerful and patient, and if one method doesn't work, he'll try another. I thought I would take six weeks of his classes to learn to play djembe, but have been with Chuck's Emerson Drummers for more than a decade now, together with my son. Chuck became a good friend and mentor-- an important part of our lives.

Chuck is extremely caring! Not only about the techniques being taught, but the individual as well. He is very skilled at drumming and conveying those skills to others!

Chuck's a quick study at discovering where your strengths and weaknesses are and he has a very positive approach to building your skills. Besides being a great drummer he's a compassionate man whose love for West African drumming inspires a terrific group experience. While it can be challenging,, it's always fun.

Chuck is a wonderful teacher with a very warm personality. I am currently enrolled in Chucks djembe (hand drum) class on Thursday nights. He is always helpful and is respectful in giving everyone a chance to play and understand the different dunun and djembe drum rhythms. We all take turns playing different rhythms of the same song together. It is a 6 week class meeting once a week. We learn one song with multiple parts and multiple rhythms. It is very wonderful!!!!

Chuck is an amazing teacher and an excellent drummer. He's patient and wise, and really good at challenging you at your individual ability level.

I've been a member of the Emerson Drummers, which is under the direction of Chuck Cogliandro, for over 17 years, having no prior experience in drumming. Not only is Chuck an excellent instructor, he encourages a welcoming group which, to me, is more defined as community than a drum group.
