Collin Nordine has been playing the drums for over 20 years. He has been teaching for just over 6 years and has been teaching here at WMA for 2 years. Collin emphasizes fundamentals, reading skills, and goal oriented progress during his lessons. Collin studied privately under highly sought after drummers hailing from Berkley and other various prestigious music conservatories. He has also performed with several Grammy nominated and winning artists and currently has multiple music projects of his own.
“The idea of drumming is to create your own identity after you've learned the fundamentals. Take what you've learned and create your own sound, which takes dedication and drive.” -Collin
When Collin is not teaching or gigging, in his spare time he enjoys cooking new delicious meals, jogging, walking, biking, and generally getting outdoors to exercise.
​Thank you for being a part of the WMA family, Collin! You are a joy and we are absolutely thrilled to have you here as one of our wonderful drum instructors!
