The Arcadia Academy of Music’s Core Drum Program upholds a consistent and high standard across all of its locations. Designed by active educators and performance professionals in their field, the following syllabus is meant to engage, challenge and enhance the students’ musical aspirations at every level from the most basic to the advanced. The prospective students will be educated and encouraged to become ready and confident to face many musical situations, both professionally or purely for the enjoyment of playing music casually.
The students will be encouraged to strive for excellence with the support of several programs in place to encourage growth, comfort and confidence. They will be motivated and prepared to take part in Exams, Music Festivals and the Band Programs involving all students to strive for excellence in reaching for their goals.
Parents will find consistent quality and standards that reflect solid and contemporary methods of instruction; parents will also have the opportunity to be part of their child’s musical endeavours. Our vision at Arcadia is to continually create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment with an innovative curriculum addressing the diverse learning styles and musical interests of our students.
The Arcadia contemporary method is developed on the principle of “the existence of a World outside of traditional drum styles and its traditions”; this is what Arcadia’s contemporary program strives on. This student-driven program provides a pathway to a musical life outside of the classical music realm, feeding their hunger to learn music that appeals to them on their instrument. The classroom will foster a personalized lesson approach to aid in achieving the student’s musical goals with guidance from one of Arcadia’s many qualified instructors.
Just like the beating of our heart creates a rhythmic pulse, playing drums is the rhythmic pulse to the heart of the music we enjoy. Poetic in its nature, something about playing drums creates a natural synergy between the rhythm of the music and the rhythm of heart of the player. It could be the fact that you use your entire body to play the instrument OR that there is no melodic line played but rather the musicality of playing a tempo and rhythm brings this instrument to life. Either way, choosing to play drums is an amazing experience that Arcadia Academy of Music will foster with you! Learn to drive the beat of the music and what makes your pulse groove through your discovery of many different styles with one of our many versatile drum instructors! At our facilities, each room has two pro-level kits, and all of our equipment is always in great condition.
