They’ll also take a musical journey around the globe, connecting with diverse cultural traditions through melody and rhythm. As part of an ensemble, they’ll learn the art of playing together, mastering the essentials of tempo and timing. By the end of the course, these drummers will understand what it truly means to be part of a musical family, creating harmony both on and off the stage.
