Homework
1-2 hours per week. Daily development (practice) of the rudiment-of-the-week is highly suggested.
Assessment
Students will get a grid of all rudiments and tempo ranges. Personal development is assessed through increased tempo on the grid, as well as overall sound (tone), tempo control, and grip.

Class Experience

There are 40 Essential Rudiments in drumming vocabulary. Each week we'll dissect one rudiment on the list, discussing its importance in muscle development, coordination, its relationship to other rudiments, and possible uses for drum set. Each class is full on playing! Be ready to dive in and explore the rudiments in a fun and engaging group setting! Students will improve their muscle, endurance, coordination, and even reading skills. This class will push the musical limits of the student, catapulting them to new heights of music making! The rudiments are the fundamental building blocks of drumming, regardless of musical style.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Brad Novak. I'm an educator, business owner, drummer, and musician and would LOVE to work with your child! I currently teach over 100 students weekly in one-on-one and ensemble sessions at my private teaching studio called The Beat Lab. In addition to my responsibilities at The Beat Lab I also teach... 
- Drum set at Interlochen Arts Academy, a fine arts high school in Interlochen, MI
- Beginning band at the Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools in Traverse City, MI 
- Applied Percussion for Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, MI
- Multiple percussion and Ukulele classes for our local Homeschool co-op.

In addition to my teaching schedule I perform live with several local artists and record drums and percussion tracks for singer/songwriter projects. 

I studied music/drumming at Berklee College of Music in 1996 and at Central Michigan University from 1997-2001. This education, and the fantastic teachers/professors that worked with me, sparked my own interest in educating. Since then. I've been "full speed ahead"!!!

I'm blessed with an amazing wife, 3 wonderful children, 1 always-hungry dog, and 7 chickens!
