Grow Together (And Have Fun!)
Learning drums in small groups with clear milestones helps prepare kids for more advanced study and build a sense of social belonging!
by the first weekStudents learn to identify all the drums and cymbals, practice 4/4 timing, and play a beat with a drum and a cymbal together!
at the midway pointKids can confidently play along with song parts, and are exploring how drum beats, fills, and rests make up familiar songs.
in the last weeksStudents work on creating their own drum beat using the skills they learned throughout the session, and share them with each other in the last class!
When students finish this class, they don’t hit a dead end. They leave with stronger rhythm, better coordination, basic drums beats, and the confidence to move into more advanced learning.
