π₯ 3 YEARS OF ALEC AT AMPED! π
Happy Ampediversary to our drum, piano, & songwriting teacher Alec Kores! π
Alec has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, competed and won DJ/Drummer competitions, produced a Coldplay tribute show, and somehow still shows up every week to make our students sound incredible. πΆ
We are so lucky to have a teacher who has played everything from Big Band Jazz to Bluegrass to EDM, and brings ALL of that experience into his lessons.
Learn more about Alec and try a lesson with him at www.ampedschoolofmusic.com/aleckores
You can catch Alec performing in the area on drums in Javi & The Brambled Hearts π₯ and solo in his live-looping project, Loop In Color ποΈ
Here's to 3 amazing years, Alec! π§‘π
