Beginner Level
In this Kid's Drum Course, students learn rhythm through word association and the Ta and Ti Ti method. Each lesson introduces a new rhythm and word to enforce rhythmic learning. Students will play along with fun musical accompaniment while playing along with the teacher. Experience the freedom of learning at your own pace with our flexible asynchronous class. This format allows students to independently navigate the lessons, tailoring the learning experience to their needs and preferences. It's a powerful tool that empowers you to take control of your musical journey, providing a convenient and personalized learning experience for your child. Each lesson includes 1-3 instructional videos and printable materials, providing a comprehensive learning experience for students to understand techniques and practice at their own pace visually. The method used in these lessons will cater to different learning styles as I use three teaching methods to reach each learner. Students and parents are encouraged to contact me for review, help, or concerns during this four-week course. We are here to support your child's musical journey every step of the way. Teacher feedback will be sent 24 hours after students' initial contact. The teacher will also be available at the parents' request during the course.
