What students say
“Peta is a great drummer and a great teacher. She has infinite patience and ability to break drumming down into its essential elements so that all students can be successful and make drumming a part of their lives.”
— Rob Garnett, drum student
“We have two groups of students who attend Peta’s classes on a weekly basis. Drumming class is the ‘highlight of the week’ for those students involved!”
— John Armoa and Bec Wonnacott, Oatlands Primary School
“You display a talent that is inspirational, I look forward every week to my drumming, normally I am not a person who likes to leave home... drumming takes me to a place so full of energy so full of life that I no longer have the day and all the pressure it can bring with me for a short time and for some time after.”
