Tucked between American Fork and Alpine at the foot of the mountains, Highland is a comfortable eighteen-minute drive from the Culmone Percussion studio in Saratoga Springs. It's an easy weekly routine for Highland families.
Highland's students feed into Lone Peak High, home to award-winning bands and a serious percussion program. The city's quiet, family-focused neighborhoods are exactly the kind of place where a child can fall in love with an instrument, and Ken's positive-influence approach keeps that love growing lesson after lesson.
Why Highland students learn with Ken Culmone
Ken Culmone is a certified professional instructor who has taught drummers and percussionists ages 4 to 74 for more than 30 years, all from his own home studio, where he's the only person who privately teaches each student. His comprehensive program can earn Highland students school percussion credits, band participation, solo-competition success, and often college scholarships.
Every lesson is one-on-one and built around his “instruction with a positive influence” philosophy: reading and notation, the 40 rudiments, sticking and pedaling, music theory, melodic improvisation, and playing along to real music. Parents from Highland are always welcome to observe from the couch in the studio.
