About DMA

Hugo Krog

Drums

Hugo discovered his passion for drums at 15 after watching his church drummer play. With a few basics under his belt, he joined the church band, and about a year later began formal lessons that deepened both his skill and love for the instrument.

Hugo began teaching in 2014 and is grateful to have made it his full-time career. His love for music and mentoring shines through every lesson. As he often says, “My students should leave with a smile on their face and a beat in their heart after each lesson.”

Dylan Matthews

Drums & Piano

Dylan has been teaching drums for over 10 years. He started playing at 13 and has loved it ever since. More than just teaching notes and rhythms, Dylan aims to inspire students to grow in their own unique musical voice. He values not only musical growth but also character development, building lasting relationships of trust and care. He also dabbles with piano and guitar.

Nieuwoudt Janse van Rensburg

Guitar & Drums

Nieuwoudt is our newest teacher and has been playing drums since the age of 14. Like many musicians, he grew up playing in church bands and the occasional garage band, and later picked up guitar to serve in various churches as well. His passion for music fuels his desire to inspire the next generation to discover their own gifts and develop their talents with confidence.

Stefan Nel

Drums

Stefan has been teaching drums for over 15 years. Originally self-taught, he eventually hit a ceiling until taking lessons himself — an experience that showed him the power of knowledge and a great teacher. Now, he's passionate about paying it forward, helping students grow in skill, confidence, and readiness to serve in worship bands.
