Hi, I’m Chris Livingstone and I’m a professional drummer. I’m originally from the UK and moved to the US in 2015.  I began teaching drums in 1999 after studying Music at college. I went on to teach hundreds of students in my private teaching studio as well as students in over 40 different schools. I have a wealth of teaching experience from one to one lessons to whole class music in elementary schools. I also deliver percussion based team building workshops to schools, colleges and businesses.

As a professional drummer, I have performed regularly in many bands and music has given me the opportunity to play all over the UK, Europe and the USA. As a teenager, I learned to play the snare drum in a Scottish Pipe Band. This helped me to develop a solid technical foundation and heavily influenced my drum set playing style. I have played and taught Pipe Bands for over 25 years and took prizes in many solo drumming competitions. Top achievements include 1st place at the English solo drumming championships and 2nd place in my age group at the World Solo drumming championships. 

I love what I do and the opportunity to help people learn drums. Aside from being the most awesome instrument, the skills that you learn as a musician go far beyond simply learning to play. Whether you are a beginner, an experienced drummer or anyone in between I’ll bring all of my experience together to help you reach your drumming goals and have fun doing it.
