LEARN TO PLAY Instruments and SONGS!

 Drumming demands more than just ‘staying in time’. The drummer is the driving force, the backbone and the foundation of the entire band dynamic. Drummers punctuate, embellish and lead changes in the rhythmic figures of each track. They accentuate a horn section, pick up on guitar riffs, mimic vocal lines and command the rhythm section. Drummers do all this and stay in time. 

 Learning the guitar is a great way to express yourself creatively, improve your communication skills, and connect with others who share your interests. Plus, it’s just plain awesome fun!

So, why not pick up a guitar and start shredding today!
