🥁 Calling all future drummers and percussionists! 🥁

Starting band can feel like a lot—new instruments, new music, and a whole lot of things to learn. This FREE Beginner Percussion Workshop is a fun, low-pressure way for new band students to get started.

Join Toby Fairchild on Saturday, August 29, from 11 AM–12 PM at 5128 Southpoint Pkwy in Fredericksburg.

Students will get hands-on experience with:

- Setting up a percussion kit
- Holding sticks with proper grip and technique
- Learning the first steps of reading percussion music

No experience needed—just bring curiosity and a willingness to make some noise!

Space is limited. Save your child’s spot here: https://www.tobyfairchild.com/workshop

Hey gang, here will be no drum lessons tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27. Both the lesson studio and KBI Music Store will be closed for the day so everyone can stay safe and avoid slippery roads and parking lots.
We’ll be back to our regular lesson schedule as soon as things clear up — and I’m looking forward to getting everyone back behind the drums soon!
If you have any questions about rescheduling, feel free to reach out.
Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the snow! ❄️🥁
