Below is some of what is being said about Ted both as an instructor and as a performer. "Ted's playing skills speak for themselves, but what is most amazing about him as a teacher is his ease and ability with young drummers. When my son Dominic (8 yrs old) began taking lessons, Ted started by discovering where his new student's interest were. He built his lessons from what my son was listening to. They hit it off from the start and Dominic is getting better all the time. Ted is a natural teacher." --Bartholomew Roselli, "Ted is a great teacher. If you are willing to put in a little work, Ted is ready to put in a lot. In fact when I was in 8th grade, he got me moved up from the low band to the high band in just three months! He really does a lot for you, teaching you how to be a very well-rounded drummer in all styles and perspectives." --Eric Rogers(age 16) "Ted is among the finest of drum set educators anywhere. His technique is flawless and his ability to instill that knowledge within students is tremendous...whether it be jazz, rock, Latin combo or big band...Ted MacKenzie is one of the most versatile and sensitive drummers today." --Matthew C. Cremissio "Ted's skill as an instructor can only be matched by his abilities as a musician. By educating students on the immeasurable benefits of building a strong rudimental foundation, Ted gives young and old students alike both the skills which will elevate their playing to levels beyond their expectations and the ability to perform in front of live audiences with confidence. --Jim Feck
