🎵 The objective of these group drum lessons is to enable the students to gain a greater set of technical and musical skills on the drum set, and to help the students develop a greater understanding of the role of the drum set in modern contemporary music. 

🎵 This is achieved through the repetitive practices of technique and coordination, as well as developing critical listening skills demanded of drummers. 

🎵 The lessons will meet the students at their skill level and assess ways in which they can grow as a drummer.

🌟 Most students can play a drum beat by the end of the first class!
