PIANO, ORGAN & KEYBOARD



The education of pianists at the World Music Academy emphasizes the development of a large performance repertory along with the pianistic skills. In addition to traditional works from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, students are encouraged to explore contemporary keyboard and experimental music.

DRUMS


Drums are the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years. Drum lessons will teach you good technique, how to read music (essential if you plan on making drumming a career), and the foundational rudimentary exercises upon which all rhythms are built. Once you have these down, you can then work on developing your individual style. Get advanced tips and tricks for improving your drum practice sessions, developing groove, and improving your overall musicianship.
