Hi, I’m John and I like to make music. Welcome to my site!
I'm a musician, teacher, author, and band leader. I frequently perform in the Baltimore/DC area and often in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
I offer drum lessons (virtual or in-person) in Thurmont, MD, about 25 minutes from downtown Frederick, MD and Gettysburg, PA..
To see a bit of what I do as a performer visit "Projects".
Be sure to look for @johnsayremusic on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to see more of what my students and I are up to and for more lessons.
For drum lessons I like to use the books “Stick Control” by Stone, “Syncopation” by Reed, and my own book available on Amazon here, in addition to playing along to numerous recordings with the student.
From 2006-2016 I served in the U.S. Air Force as a musician where I played in several groups to include; big band, rock band, jazz combos, concert band and more.
In 2003 I graduated from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University where I studied under Robert Van Sice.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. Learning any new skill takes work and focus, but it doesn't have to be boring like watching paint dry or as painful as an IRS audit. If that has been your experience with music lessons in the past then I encourage you to give it another shot--remember, we PLAY instruments, and keeping that in mind makes all the difference.
