Beginner Level
Do you ever look at your little ones and think they've got pretty good rhythm and can hold a steady beat? Do they go around the house drumming and tapping on things all the time! Do you want get them started on the drumset but think they're a little too young for the drums? Stop right there, we have the class for you! Let's Learn to Drum is a self-paced class here on Outschool that starts kiddos as young as four years old to not only play the drums, but learn their names, and compose their own beats and rhythms as well! This self paced class is based on the book by the instructor, Zach Seckman, entitled "Rock'N'Rollin for Preschoolers". The class is in video lesson form that goes through the entire book so your kid can drum along and learn all the songs in the book with the teachers and the author. Throughout the class, learners will be exposed to the drumset and learn the instruments in the following orders: -Bass Drum -Snare Drum -High Tom -Medium Tom -Low Tom -Ride Cymbal -Hi-Hat Cymbal We omit the crash cymbal because the book is designed to be used with junior drum sets which oftentimes negate the crash cymbal. As the class is based on a book, we have included a PDF version of the book into the price of the class with printing instructions, and a link to purchase a physically printed copy of the book if you'd rather go that route as well. We can't wait to have your kiddo Rock'N'Rollin' with us in the class!
Learning Goals
