Clinician/educator

"In the past 5 years that I have studied with Gary, he has transformed me from a very average kid with dreams of grandeur to a confident professional whose dreams are coming true."
-Nathan "Fish" Rike
drummer/superstar

"I have known Gary Lefrancois many years, both as a professional player and a teacher/educator...he is consummate in both fields. He has sent students to my school and they are totally equipped technically, as well as musically. When I have students that need specific skills I always send them to him. What he is doing at MDS is great!"

"Gary Lefrancois has instructed our three boys in the art of drumming since 1993, and believe me we've gotten much more than we paid for! Gary keeps abreast of the most up-to-date teaching methods, and he mixes professionalism, talent, and highly-developed sense of humor with his unique ability to relate to teens and pre-teens. Gary gets results from his students. I read once that our children should have four or five adults, other than their parents, whom they can look up to, emulate, trust, and confide in. Gary is Number One on that list for our boys!"
