As defined by the National Standards for Music Education, learners will develop a novice understanding and be able to: - understand the rudiments used for drums in a pop, rock, or jazz band; - apply their knowledge of reading standard percussion notation and what the role of the drummer is in a band; - participate and connect their performance to engage their audience and entertain.
For over a decade, I have provided music instruction for PreK through high school across all types of instruments and ensembles. My students have gone on to successful careers with many of them performing in music. My skills of learning one instrument and being able to effectively transfer that understanding to many other instruments have served me well as a school music educator and earning a Master's of Music from the University of Tennessee for general, vocal, and instrumental education. I have been recognized in the music education industry for my innovative teaching and a dedication to ensuring my students receive appropriate teaching methods that help them effectively and safely develop their potential. Thank you for making me part of your journey.
