Our Mentorship Programs
At the Marvin McQuitty Foundation, mentorship is about more than mastering the drums—it’s about shaping confident, well-rounded young leaders. Through one-on-one guidance, hands-on performance opportunities, and professional music industry insight, we help aspiring drummers grow their skill, character, and vision.
Every lesson, rehearsal, and stage moment is designed to honor Marvin’s legacy of excellence, humility, and heart.
