We will work with the drum section at your school on the fine points of percussion. Your section will receive hands-on instruction in tone production, stick & mallet selection, dynamics, proper technique, and tuning for: snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, and claves. Additionally,we present clinics on keyboard percussion (xylophone, bells, vibes, marimba, and chimes), timpani, congas & bongos, and Jazz band drumming (with your full Jazz band or rhythm section).
For schools with faith-based curricula, we offer comprehensive workshops in praise & worship band drumming.
We provide staff development for your school district too. During these in-service sessions with your colleagues, we cover the clinic information listed above, plus...we address inventory issues, maintenance, set-up, tuning, product selection, and percussion pedagogy. Classes are hands-on and demonstrated using your department's own instruments.
Our workshops will save your department time and money and are an absolute must for any college, high school, or middle school... A convenient choice for teacher in-service days.
At all sessions, we bring percussion manufacturers' handouts, literature, written exercises, freebies, and give-aways.
We also offer private one-on-one sessions for music educators in our studios.

directors face on a daily basis were appreciated by everyone in the
audience." Don Gunderson, Special Projects Coordinator, California Band Directors Association
