The percussion groups
My vision, when opening the groups 3 years ago, was to create the same process I have been teaching my private students - but in a group format. Which basically means no more isolated workshops that give only a small taste of the instrument and the teacher but rather a long, deep and thorough process that will metamorph every aspect of the students' playing. I took a whole year to write and compose countless compositions, technique exercises and independence challenges for this process.
I have taught close to 800 group lessons since and I can say now with absolute confidence that the format works and it works incredibly.
Lap Style group
The Lap style position has become the most popular frame drum playing style. It places the frame drum on the lap, giving the musician more control on the drum.
The lap style group weekly lessons are 1.5 hours long with a 10 minutes break. they cover every single aspect of the musical path and they suitable for both beginners and experienced players who are looking for a deep methodical structure of knowledge that will ensure a rapid and stable evolution in all aspects of their playing.
All participants must have an instrument, a foot bell and time to practice between lessons.
The next lap style group will start on the first week of September 2024.
