It seems everyone has a musician in the family these days and we had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with so many kids and adults wanting more information on the Extreme Drum & Guitar School! It was an exciting day.
We want to give a huge thank you to everyone that worked our two tables at this event and to all of the wonderful people that stopped by, including the WGRZ Channel 2 news crew, WYRK-FM, and our hosts at Walden Galleria Mall.

These stations hosted the "World's Largest Yard Sale" at the Fairgrounds in Hamburg, NY today. As a sponsor of that event, ED&G had a BLAST! We had more live performance by guitarist and singer, Michael Bly. Kids and adults visiting us also had a chance to jam on a drum kit and show off their skills (or, at least, satisfy their curiosity). This second ED&G Enrollment Event was even busier and more fun than the first. We're excited that word is getting around town about what we offer. We want to thank Michael Bly for his continued support and thank YOU if you stopped by to see us today. We also send our congratulations to Dan B., the winner of our 1-month giveaway of free lessons!

Also taking the microphone were some of the kids from ED&G as well as a kid or two from the mall audience not too shy to sing their favorite tunes! It was great fun!

Johnny
Look at what people are saying about ED&G!
Our 7-year old son, Joey, has been taking lessons with Johnny Misso, at the Extreme Drum and Guitar School, since the beginning of May. Although he had previous instruction in the past, the growth that he has made in only FIVE lessons with Johnny is incredible! Joey is reading music and playing beats that we never would have expected him to be tackling this early in the game. He loves Johnny and his lessons and can't wait to return each week.
ED&G is a truly unique learning facility. The classes are fun and interactive, as there is a true partnership between the instructors and their pupils. The teachers have a very animated, yet patient and structured approach in their teaching technique, which makes learning exciting for students of any age, particularly for the younger ones who tend to lose focus easily.
We are privilaged to have such an institution in the WNY area. The facilities at ED&G are superior to those of any other, with large classrooms that can accommodate many people at one time, knowledgeable and gifted instructors, and top-notch equipment for the students to learn on. We feel very fortunate, as does Joey, to have Johnny and his staff teaching our son.
Who I'd like to meet: Music students young and old! Are you interested in lessons in drums, guitar, bass guitar, piano, or vocals? Whether you just got that instrument and you need to know step one or you've been performing and recording for years and you want specialized advanced instruction, we have a curriculum for you. Contact us today so we can help you out!
