This class is based on building a foundation of music reading, performance, technique, and aural skills as it applies to the drums. Each lesson starts with a warm up including various exercises taught and provided to the students. After the warm up, the lesson material will be presented to the students in the form of handouts, call and response activities, or from a lesson book. 

Topics that this class may cover include:

-Rudimental Percussion Solos
-Concert Percussion Solos
-2 and 4 Mallet Keyboard Literature
-Ethnic Drumming
-Music Literacy
-Drum Set Coordination and Facility in various styles of music
-How to Write Drum Transcriptions

I teach by engaging students in discussion, calling on students to answer questions, and encouraging students to be creative. I also teach by clearly demonstrating how a task is done for the students so that they can do it themselves. This class is highly interactive, as the students have a plethora of opportunities to ask questions and interact with the teacher during each class.

If you don't see a time that works for you/your child, feel free to message me. I am more than willing to add new sections to accommodate you.

This class is charter school friendly!
