With the previous experiences of the internet and my life studies and practices I have created and now run a drum/percussion educational website called Badassdrumming.com. With the teaming of several endorsed artists in various genre we are taking music education to a whole new level.
Since there have been many cutbacks in the education of music in the US today we see a true need to keep it alive and to help people realize the importance of music studies. With test upon test showing a person that participates with music studies in school do far better in their other classes than those that don't. We are offering, by the web, studies for those that don't have it available in their school, offering more studies to those that can't reach a private instructor, and offer additional studies to those that want more.
Each artist offers their unique qualities that add to the student's learning experience. We are writing and publishing ebooks on the various subjects of percussion, trying to be a "GREEN" company. Soon, w plan to advance online studies with interactive technology, becoming one of the first, if not the first, music lessons online to do so.
We are looking for creative minds, endorsed artists that wish to teach and others that can see the vision and importance of music education.
Our student base is global and growing fast. We offer a free membership to our site, bringing .pdf lessons information, videos of current and past artists performances and soon to add video lessons, too.
If you have a comment or wish to ask a question about us please contact me anytime.
