Lessons
Our lessons are always customised according to the student’s level, ambition, and musical preferences. Our philosophy is that the music you want to play dictates the type of technical work you’ll need to do, although there are some fundamental topics that everyone has to learn and practise, regardless of their musical preferences. Once all the above are assessed, we then work on some or all of the following main topics of study and more often than not several topics are developed at the same time:
- Posture, ergonomics, and tuning
- Hand/Foot Techniques and Touch/Sound, including double bass drums
- Coordination and interdependence
- Meter and rhythm
- Timing, feel, and dynamics
- Reading, writing and transcribing
- Applying rudiments to the drum kit
- Chart sight-reading studies
- Soloing and improvisational skills
- Trinity Rock & Pop exam preparation (Initial to Grade 8)
- Rock School exam preparation (Premiere to Grade 8)
- Musical styles and repertoire (including Blues, Jazz, R&B, Soul/Motown, Rock’n’Roll, Funk, Hip-Hop, Pop, Country, Hard Rock, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal, Nu Metal, Reggae, Brazilian and Cuban music, and more)
