New Instructor Spotlight!
Matthew Bade
Matthew has dedicated his life to the arts. Formally trained as a painter (University of Illinois at Chicago and American Academy of Art College), his drumming passion always kept pace with his visual studies. Having discovered both disciplines in grade school, the holistic benefits of nurturing craft became evident early. More recently, Matthew found a dormant counselor within and lent his life experience to at-risk youth and young adults as a guide in the field of Wilderness and Adventure therapy, nationally and abroad. Now his efforts seek to combine previous ventures—as a drum teacher at School of Rock, with a focus on ergonomics/posture, groove, the drummer’s role as peacekeeper, and of course: fun.
Matthew is also a five-time marathon runner, longtime rock climber, and daily yoga practitioner who cannot stress enough the importance of physical health as it relates to drumming.
Happy Pride Month!
