Jared Lanham Music Studio is located in Powder Springs, Ga

When it comes to music, I love it all.  I have a Bachelors and Masters Degree in music from Georgia State University in the area of Jazz Studies.  I have studied drum set, percussion, mandolin, guitar, piano and violin.   The music that I study and have studied is all across the board from bluegrass, country and pop/rock to jazz, classical, Irish music,  gypsy jazz, Indian Classical, and other world music.  Also, I have extensively studied marching percussion.  I was on the drum line for the University of Georgia Redcoat Band and the Georgia Tech Marching Band playing snare drum.  I was a member of The Atlanta Falcons Drum Line that no longer exists.

I hold an associates degree in business from Gainesville State College and a Bachelors and Masters Degree in music from Georgia State University in the area of Jazz Percussion.  I am currently attending Georgia State University working towards a PHD in music education.
