Teaching techniques
Our modern approach to teaching has its own curriculum, spanning three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
Beginners work on basic rhythms, hand and foot techniques, play-alongs, note reading, rudiments, styles, dynamics, how to get a good drum sound and the overall groove. Intermediate and advanced students will focus on song interpretation, groove(s) and different musical genres.
Playing drums is fun! Learning an instrument will naturally develop your self-confidence, intelligence, concentration abilities and team spirit. Playing an instrument and being part of a band is the best thing in the world so start your journey today!
