Riverton sits in the southwest corner of Salt Lake Valley, about a twenty-two-minute drive from the Culmone Percussion studio. Plenty of Riverton families make the quick trip over for weekly lessons.
With its rodeo-and-Town-Days traditions and the Silverwolves' school spirit at Riverton High, Riverton blends western roots with a growing suburban energy. Ken's lessons give Riverton students a strong, well-rounded percussion foundation, from concert snare to full drum set, that serves them in band and beyond.
Why Riverton 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 Riverton 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 Riverton are always welcome to observe from the couch in the studio.
