CHOPS

First day back for the new year, and it’s already starting to be a good one, with some new smiling faces in the studio this week. Looking forward to experiencing the excitement of new musical journeys.
Spots available for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Get em while you can.

The first two weeks of September lessons haved rolled through fast.
It’s like that when you’re having fun. 😀
We have a few spots still available. 🥁

I’ve read and heard many thoughts of how easy it is to play drums. A few favourites are, “ if a melodic instrument is too hard, just play the drums” and “after learning your first beat...you’re a drummer”.
In my latest Cowichan Valley Voice article, I outline some key attributes of a drummer.
Happy reading!!

To keep on top of things and take a proactive approach, I will be continuing to postpone lessons. I have the best students any drum teacher could hope for, and I will do what I can to help it stay that way.
Take care of each other and play safe.
