Class Experience

This class is primarily targeted at those who are currently participating in a drumline in a marching band, as this is my primary field of expertise as a percussionist. This class is also suitable for those who need some extra help practicing their parts in concert/symphonic band percussion contexts. The topics covered in this class will include but are not limited to:

-General technique for marching snare drum, bass drum, and quad drums.
-Clarification with reading sheet music rhythms (if needed).
-Polyrhythms 
-Unusual time signatures.
-Rudiments: rolls, paraddidles, double strokes, triple strokes, flams, buzzes, etc.
-Practice habits
-Accents, taps, dynamics

In my 1:1 classes, I am here for the learner. Whatever they feel they need help with is what we will work on that day. This class can be used as a chance to learn new topics from me, but it may also be used as a guided practice session for their music in other classes. Our first meeting will include a lot of discussing their past experiences with drumming, and what they'd like to set for their drumming goals.

Learning Goals

Since this is a 1:1 class, a goal I have for all learners - and one they should have for themselves - is that they become a better drummer today than they were yesterday. This is achieved by refining their skills in:

-Rhythmic accuracy: understanding what the rhythm on the sheet music should sound like, and translating that to the drum.
-Quality of sound: maintaining a relaxed grip on the stick such that the sound isn't "choked-off".
-Dynamic integrity: playing passages according to the prescribed dynamics to give the music shape and emotion.

Other Details

Supply List
A practice pad and drumsticks are essential. If the student is in a drumline setting, I expect them to have the appropriate sticks for that context.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Film/Cinema/Video Studies from University of Calgary
I started with percussion in my grade 6 band class, and I got started with marching band in grade 10. I continued with the activity for 4 years, including a season with the Calgary Stampede Showband, a 7-time WAMSB gold medalist. I have been instructing marching band for nearly 6 years, and it's wone of my life's biggest passions.
