COMING SOON: INSTRUMENTS!
 We are excited to announce our new partnership with Full Compass! Full Compass is one of the largest suppliers of musical instruments, lighting, and audio and video supplies in the U.S. and they're headquartered just down the road in Middleton, WI.
Through them, we will have a variety of equipment available in house including instruments, amps, strings, picks and drumsticks. We'll also have the ability to order specific items and have them delivered to us for you to pick up at your lesson or rehearsal.
We're always looking for ways to provide more resources for the musicians, students, and parents who we serve, and we hope that you'll enjoy this new addition to the Foundry!

Instructor Spotlight:
Kai Andersen
| 
DRUM SET, SNARE DRUM
Kai has been playing and performing on the drums for more than 20 years. His music career started in the second grade playing piano. Drums and guitar soon followed, and he has been playing ever since.
Kai has played in many original rock bands over the last twenty years, recording and touring regionally, and has opened for such acts as Linkin Park, Los Lobos, and Seether.
He has a B.A. in Journalism from UW-Milwaukee and is a DJ on 94.1FM WJJO. He has been teaching drums professionally since 2001.
From beginner to advanced, Kai believes that music lessons should be as entertaining as they are challenging. He is proficient in styles ranging from funk to metal and blues to reggae, and lessons have to always be fun.
