Vocal Lessons

Drums lay down the foundation for many styles of music. Through grooves and steady time-keeping, students will learn to create the pulse of music, the heartbeat that hits people in their chest and makes them get up and move their feet.

Drums and percussion serve to emphasize and embellish the notes that other instruments play. This can include ensemble hits with set ups in a jazz big band, percussive accents in orchestras and symphonic bands, or cymbal crashes in a stadium rock band.

Students will learn the significant drumming "vocabulary" of today derived from famous songs, historical recordings, and the essential rudiments that drummers everywhere use and innovate to this day!
