Learn music through performance on the drum kit. Classes are tailored to learner interests and focus will be driven on a variety of genres appropriate to the study of the drum kit and matching learner interests. This class is also appropriate for learners seeking their ABRSM Levels 1, 2, of 3, practical or performance exams. 

Private lessons are the ultimate, personalized class where we can focus on specific learner development, questions, and interests. Time will be dedicated to partnering with the learner as they develop their interests, style, and exploration of the drum kit.

Sample topics in a private lesson format include:

- instrument performance basics: posture, holding the instrument, producing a sound, finding the notes on the slide
- performing with musical intent
- building stamina and technical control
- building fills and transitions
- understanding style factors and expressing those in performance
- arranging pieces in coherent and compelling programes
- develop a broad understanding of music through the role of the drum kit

The teacher will ensure the learner leaves lessons with a:
          ~ Goal check-in and adjust
          ~ Go forward plan

All activities meet the National Standards for Music Education criteria for performing and responding and are aligned with the requirements of practice of the published syllabi of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM).
