Intermediate Level
This class focuses on the use of silence and space between drumming patterns by incorporating stick tricks. As an introductory course, this light-hearted, fun way to develop stick control, balance, and spatial awareness is not intended for mastery. We will learn 6 different tricks, spend time discussing how to practice, how to take breaks, and make the effort to incorporate the tricks into sample patterns. Learners will have 4 different rhythm patterns of which they can choose their favorite patterns and their favorite tricks and combine them! They can also rewrite the music to accommodate their style and ideas. The class will close with a learner performance of their chosen patterns and tricks to practice sharing for the class. This will prepare them for any tricks they have mastered or plan on mastering to share with an audience.

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.Reviews
