Drum & BAND INSTRUMENTS LESSONS IN BELLEVUE
Why Take Drum & Band Instrument Lessons with Us?
Drums
Beginner Drum Lessons are perfect for first-time drummers. Students will learn the basics of the drums from their drum teacher such as: hand/feet syncopation, proper form, drum-set anatomy, rudiments, basic drum set notation/rhythmic value, as well as the joy of learning to lay with their favorite songs.
The Intermediate class builds off of the skills acquired in the beginner class. Students will learn: how to apply rudiments to the drum set, intermediate/advanced drum set notation, learning songs by ear, double bass (based on stile preference)
