Studio Percussion

Our Story

Studio Percussion emerged in 2002 when drummer Tobin Wagstaff began offering private lessons from his home. Recognizing the transformative power of music, he envisioned a space where youth and the community could find mentorship and develop their musical talents. This vision evolved into Studio Percussion, becoming a non-profit organization in 2004.
