Praise for Hix Brothers Music

  • Andrew Hix has been my son’s drums instructor for the past two years. Andrew is a wonderful instructor. Great with kids, goofy, lighthearted, and keeps the lessons fun and engaging. My son has a ball at lessons. This was so important to us since we want him to not only improve his musical skills, but also enjoy the process.
