Well Rusty, it seems you'll be having two students already when you move overhere.... Great program you're offering, but so far away....

Thanks Michel. I will message you.

hey, Rusty, just to warn you: you end your text description saying you prefer email contact before phone call, but you didn't put your email address, I think (at least I didn't find it).

As a beginner, I learned a lot from Rusty--from technique to music to culture. I enjoyed and benefitted from his workshops and definitely recommend attending one.

Thanks Lisa. We have a good thing going in Lynchburg.

We hosted Rusty in Ashland for his Workshop Series. Not only were they a success, but Rusty is professional and offers a good challenge that is attainable to the students. His teaching style opened doors that the students did not even know existed previously.

We are thankful to learn the Mali style of playing djembe and the ensemble. There appears to be a shortage of good teachers in this country of this genre, and Rusty knows his material inside and out. His pedagogy is easy to follow while allowing for multiple levels in the same class.

We look forward to hosting Rusty again in the future.
