Susan Devenny started playing the drums at the age of twelve in her home town of Aberdeen. She was taught at home by a music teacher who made learning fun and who ensured that she always wanted to learn more. This passion for playing the drums grew to such an extent that she decided that she wanted to study Music Performance so she moved to Perth and studied at Perth College for 3 years. During this time she was taught by many great musicians. Having enjoyed these courses so much she applied for, and was accepted for an Honours Degree course at Northbrook College in Worthing (part of the University of Brighton) on the south coast of England. Susan then moved back to settle in Perth and set up Grey Row Studios with Malcolm Devenny. She has had great experience over the years of teaching many people.
