Zack Hawes

Band Leader & Instructor

Zack knew that music was what he wanted to pursue from the moment he first started playing drums at age 16. Since earning his Bachelor's in Music from North Central University, Zack has diversified his skill set from musician to passionate teacher. As a teacher, he understands that some students want to learn an instrument in hopes of performing in front of people someday, while some just want to have the knowledge of that instrument for other musical endeavors. In Zack's words "My goal is to make your goal a reality." Zack is available to teach drums, beginning piano, beginning guitar and video production.

Meet our audio engineer, Christian. You may recognize him running sound at our showcases. Christian began playing guitar at 10 years old and was writing songs immediately. Since that time, he has become a multi-instrumentalist and has studied as a recording engineer. Most notably, Christian currently leads a band named "The Non-Professionals", a group of friends who are gaining traction in the metro Detroit area as they continue to promote their debut full length album (released 2020). It's no surprise that when he's not teaching or recording for someone else, he's recording music for himself or his band.

Joey Guzevich

Instructor

Traveling around the country with his family polka band every weekend isn't nearly enough to stop Joey from teaching! Joey's deep rooted passion for music began when he longed to join his dad's band, and has only grown since. Though he most often plucks the bass, Joey also has a strong understanding of the depths of music theory across several other mainstream instruments including piano, acoustic guitar, and violin. He's even released several original songs on all major streaming platforms written, played, and produced all on his own. Most of all, Joey's animated personality and mad skill makes him a great instructor for all ages.
