Hi, I'm Cody Moulton, Bard and Drum Instructioneer
Music is a huge part of my life, from music projects like Bardsman, to teaching Drum lessons. In all of my musical work, drums have always been the sweet spot for me. I’ve been playing since I was 11 years old back in 2003. I started off without any formal training, but my brother gave me some tips based on what he was learning from his teacher at the time. Next thing I knew, I started taking drum lessons for myself from an awesome private teacher and got involved creating music in bands and drum line – both of which I continue to have a passion for!
The drums have always been something I can sit down and play my heart out on through whatever emotions I am feeling. Being a musician continues to teach me powerful life lessons and I have never regretted my time spent improving my craft! I am a drum teacher who hopes to help others experience music more fully.
