Who's ready to hit stuff!? I know I am and we are going to have a blast together! DRUMS 2 - Fundamentals: Week 1: Listening Week 2: Finding And Tracking Beats With The Domininant Hand Week 3: Finding Beat 1 Week 4: Decorating With The Non-Dominant Hand This asynchronous class is a perfect fit for learning music because each student can take their own unique amount of time to practice and master the material and still always have the assistance of the teacher through the classroom chat or video submission. Students have access to the instructor when the lesson is too confusing or boring. Each lesson comes with homework assignments, a downloadable, printable slides of the material, and many lessons include a play-along downloadable MP3 audio track to practice with. Students will be able to choose from a range of assignments, including using the teacher's Flipgrid.com classroom to submit videos of themselves playing the assignments. Students can also create interactive Kahoot.com review quizzes or play the ones provided by the teacher. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students on video submissions and jam together on the provided assignments, and can also participate in a final video mashup performance of the skills from the class. Students will also be able to discuss their individual questions with the class and teacher during the mid-week office hours. For students who cannot make it to the office hours, they can submit their questions in advance and will be provided the links to the recordings. Mid-week announcements and assignments will be provided to supplement the prerecorded content, as each class has individual needs. New videos are posted each week until all the course concepts are covered and each student has what they need to master the material!

Supply List
No materials required! All you need is something to hit and something to hit with. Students range anywhere from full-on drum kits all the way down to slapping their legs with their hands. It's not what you hit, it's when you hit it :) I could do lots of great work even on a little kid drum. Or buckets. Or pots and pans. Or a dictionary. Probably drum sticks would be the first investment. You can play with your hands or pencils or sticks from the yard, but nothing feels quite the same as drum sticks.

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate
Bachelor's Degree from CSUS Sacramento
I have been teaching music to kids and adults for over 20 years, and it's the world's best job.
A credentialed teacher, I primarily teach piano, guitars, drums, ukulele, banjo, bass, saxophone, and flute. Besides teaching music, I also spent many years as an elementary classroom teacher, and like to spend as much time as possible with my wife and six kids.
I believe that learning an instrument isn’t magic! Anyone can jump in and learn what they want. You CAN do at least some of it and you can’t mess it up. The music is here and it wants to be your friend.
Music is just a foreign language, so it can be as serious or as leisurely as you want. You can dedicate your life to the language or just learn a few words. The music is here to serve us, not the other way around. Most piano and guitar programs are insanely inaccessible, but my mission is to fix that with a specialized approach for every learning style. Jump in and explore. I’ll help show you around!
