"My son has been playing drums for 8 years. He has had four drum teachers in that time. Bill Travis is by far the best teacher he has ever had. Bill’s skills, knowledge and teaching style set him apart. We love Bill!"

"Our kiddos have been attending CMI for a while now. My son has been with Bill Travis for several years learning drums. Bill has been a rock for my son, who seems to have found a passion for drumming through Bill, who teaches with a passion, and a child-like heart. My son is inspired and challenged by him, and eager to continue with lessons and practicing. Thanks for everything Bill!"

"Bill Travis is a fantastic percussion teacher! Bill taught my son all facets of percussion- from snare rudiments and mallet instruments to jazz and rock rhythms on the kit. He also helped my daughter who was a saxophone player with rhythms when she was struggling with sight-reading. He can do it all and most importantly, he knows how to talk to and relate to teenagers. My son says he is the most fun teacher he has ever had. (His favorite part of the lesson?….the jam session at the end of each lesson!) We highly recommend Bill!"

"An excellent place for music lessons! No matter your age, experience or interest Colorado Music Institute is sure to have an instructor that will meet your needs and teach at your pace. Neil G has been my child's violin instructor for the last year and we have seen such improvement - better yet, they love their classes with him! I have been taking piano lessons with Carin P for 6 months and her passion for music is evident each time we meet. It can be stressful to learn an instrument as an adult but Carin is so caring and understanding. I truly value my weekly lessons with her."

"We love CMI! We've been so impressed with Ken as the drum instructor for our two kids. He has a fantastic way of connecting with kids of all ages and making learning drums both fun and engaging. He is patient and encouraging, always celebrating their progress while gently pushing them to challenge themselves. He tailors the lessons to each child's individual interests and learning styles, keeping them motivated and excited to come back for more. We've seen a significant improvement in our kids' drumming skills since they started taking lessons with Ken. They're not only learning proper technique but also developing their confidence and creativity. We highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for a drum instructor for their kids."
