🌟This class is a great option for neurodivergent students interested in music.

🎵 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!

🥁TOPICS EXPLORED INCLUDE:

- Drum Beats & Drum Fills
- Musical Structures
- Counting Techniques
- Warm-Up Exercises
- Drum-Based Games

🌟 Most of all, let's have fun!!!

*Open to discuss need-based discounts. The goal is to make happy drummers regardless of funds.
