Drum Lessons with Christian Casolary Noahs Way, Bellingham, WA 98226

"I've known Christian for a few years, and have always loved his playing ability and style. I began learning to play drums when I retired, and recently started lessons with Christian. He is truly a great teacher, and a joy to be around! I recommend him very highly."

"I have had the opportunity to study with many great musicians within my musical journey. I can say with confidence that Christian has been the most influential of these musicians. I was lucky to have spent a significant amount of time learning from him as the drummer in his Big Band at Western Washington University. He doesn’t only offer unique skills based exercises but a fresh perspective of how to build a meaningful relationship with music. Through working with Christian my playing has significantly improved and I can connect to music in new ways. I highly recommend him for drummers of all levels who are inspired to put the time into learning their instrument. If you take advantage of your time with Christian, you will be engaging in a powerful learning experience and witness significant improvement in your playing."

"I frequently have the opportunity to see Christian play music in the Bellingham community. He is an unbelievable musician and very enjoyable to watch. He also has a reputation of being a very genuine and respectful person."

"I met Christian when he was playing drums in a quartet featuring a friend of mine @ the WJMAC. I was super impressed hearing Christian's beautiful laid back and open playing style. As an "old guy" drummer and player, I sought out Christian for some instruction - I really want to learn to play more like him! As one of his students, I've learned what a truly great teacher / coach he is. I have brought him my areas for improvement to which he has provided me with solid guidance to strengthen my technique - definitive proof that Christian can teach old dogs new tricks! My only regret is that I didn't find him years ago....... The guys in my jazz group have commented that my playing has ratcheted up noticeably since working with Christian. He's the man!"

"Christian Casolary is an amazing musician and teacher! I have been a student in some of his jazz ensembles, and I have seen him work with kids of all ages and levels—I can confidently say that he is one of the greatest people I’ve had the pleasure of learning from and working with! He is an avid, knowledgeable listener and gives really fitting and appropriate feedback. Not to mention he is an outstanding drummer with a lot of professional experience! He makes music-making really, really fun, collaborative, and meaningful."
