All of our students want to learn to play the drums at least once in their lives. Our classes can only have one or two playing the drums at a time right now because of the noise level. In class, we will be able to provide the opportunity for the kids to play in the classroom comfortably, many at a time. This helps them with the basic idea of the steady beat in the songs and it also helps to build the self-esteem that they need. Headphones are great for the kids because they can practice on their own, get comfortable with using a variety of instruments and then take their learning on to further musical endeavors. As they progress, they will be able to do team and independent work to build musicianship and to be able to practice socialization. The various instruments will allow students to explore their creative sides while also learning the basic foundations of music. The first and foremost is to give all students a chance to play instruments in class without sensory overload. They can practice controlling the volume while they play. This will enhance the environment not only in the classroom but later on in their musical adventures.
