Homework
1-2 hours per week. Students will be assigned specific homework each week based on need. In class evaluation will help determine what the student will need to develop during the course of the week, ahead of the next class.

Class Experience

Each week we'll uncover more of the world of drums and percussion. Topics covered include... 
reading 
drum set styles (jazz, rock, country, funk, latin, etc)
technique 
coordination for drum set 
rudimental playing (including drum line)
classical percussion such as marimba, timpani 
auxiliary percussion (triangle, shaker, tambourine, etc) 
theory, and more! 

There will be plenty of interaction with the student because its one-on-one! There is no previous experience required. Just a love for learning and an interest in percussion!

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!
