As one of history's oldest forms of communication and musical expression, Drumming is an incredibly powerful and fulfilling skill to learn! Under the guidance of Uptown Drumming's Rob, students ranging from beginner to advanced receive a highly unique musical instruction, tailored to their specific goals and abilities. Uptown Drumming's students are furnished with the fundamentals of drumming, from discussions about the role of drummers and drumming at different points in history and in different places around the world, to general music theory and theory as it relates to the drum kit, to the skills and techniques needed to master this powerful and dynamic instrument. Theory and practical assignments will challenge the student to put what they learn into practice as they harness their own creative mind to create, notate, and perform original pieces of their own. New skills are then enhanced as the student’s musical and technical skills are pushed to the next level through a specially designed, rigorous curriculum. Students are always pushed to explore ways in which they can personalize their instrument and their playing technique; how they can utilize their skills in the world of Audio Production; and what they need to know and what they can expect from a career in the Music Industry.
