Student Reviews
Wendy is a very down to earth voice instructor who emphasizes the importance of keeping singing fun and relaxed, and doesn't focus on all of that discouraging and difficult technique that many vocal instructors teach, but implements the spiritual perspective of singing, that not only helped me improve greatly as a singer, but also as a person. A++++
OMAR JANO - CHICAGO, IL Teacher: Wendy P.About the Drums
By the 1980s drummers like Bill Bruford and Neil Peart were adding more drums and cymbals to their kits[1] and using electronic drums. Double bass pedals were developed to play on one bass drum, eliminating the need for a second bass drum.
