In this music performance-based class, learners will use the drum set to learn to perform and respond to music playing "The Basic Rock Beat". The repertoire builder series is meant to give performers a complete offering of standards for the specified instrument that they can "collect" over time. Upon course completion, learners will receive a Certificate of Completion that will include a repertoire builder outline where learners can track, or build a portfolio, of all the music lessons/works they have learned. Learners have the opportunity to add to their repertoire page over time by participating in other classes of the series. Ths series is offered uniquely offered by this teacher.

Learners will:
- participate in observation and listening activities
- participate in performance activities on the drum set
- respond to guidance and performance techniques and be expected to either self-identify or reach out to the teacher for guidance.
* a compliment class to this is offered for 1-on-1 instruction on an as-needed basis
- perform on the drum set using standard notation, 
- analyzing written music and identifying patterns
- use critical thinking and self-awareness skills to identify how they improve their craft

By the end of this class, learners will:
- have an understanding of how the basic rock beat works 
- have a start to performing the associated patterns of each drum voice

Opportunity for Assessment/Feedback/Teacher Response:
There are 3 ways this can be offered, and it all starts with the learning performer.
- reach out to me via email
- send a video of your practice session so I can respond with a written or video response
- schedule time in the compliment 1-on-1 class that best fits the time allotment for your questions and learning needs

Scheduling for the 1-on-1 complement class can be found at this link:
