About

Background - Our journey began when we started training our own children to appreciate the art of music and the relevance of rhythm in everyday life. From a primitive form of communication—like cavemen beating on tree trunks—drumming has evolved into an essential musical foundation, setting the tempo and providing a platform for other instruments to build upon. Established in 2012, our school helps students discover and appreciate these elements as they embark on their musical journeys. We are proud to see our students achieve great outcomes, including completing advanced programs at the Berklee College of Music, performing at world-class events like the WGI World Championships, the San Jose Youth Symphony, and with local high school and rock bands.

Teaching Philosophy - There have been plenty of articles highlighting child developmental advantages using the drums. At KidsDrum we focus on using drums as a powerful tool to develop Social, Communication, Emotional and Cognitive skills to engage and activate excitement and fun for our students. We focus on building discipline of practice to remember, explore and apply concepts learned via individual learning plans. Finally we provide a avenue for our student to showcase their talent at various public shows and studio recording sessions while often helping them setup their own bands to continue their journey forward.

Curriculum - Our teaching content originates from important drum books like Stick Control, Syncopation to Bass Drum Control and more. For Rudiments we follows the PASIC standards and finally a set of E-books for each level created by our founder through the many drum lessons he has had with world renowned drummers over the years. All reference content is curated to be delivered digitally during Zoom classes and we use online tools to track and log offline practice and progress
