Brent Badger

Brent has been an active drummer/percussionist for over 40 years.  He studied the full range of percussion instruments, including drum set, throughout middle and high school at the Paul-Mueller Percussion Studio in Indianapolis with instructor Richard Paul, who had served as the principal percussionist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.  Brent has experience in multiple musical settings and instruments, including orchestral and marching percussion, musical theater, and on drum set in jazz, worship, and rock and pop groups.  As a multi-instrumentalist, Brent is passionate about the role percussion plays in supporting the music and the ensemble.  As an experienced marketing and technology leader, Brent is equally passionate about the value of music education in enabling success in life and leadership in non-musical careers.  His goal with students is to unlock their love and appreciation for music, rhythm and groove and give them tools to pursue their individual musical goals.
