FUNdamentals of Drumming for Kids Multimedia Pack

FUNdamentals of Drumming for Kids is exactly what it sounds like: a fun way of introducing the basics of drumming to children who are between the ages of five and ten. Although there have been many programs developed for teaching music theory to children, few cater to this younger age group. By using a combination of enjoyable and familiar learning techniques, children are able to gain a better understanding of rhythm and the basic philosophies of playing drums. FUNdamentals of Drumming for Kids has been written so it can be used by individual children and by multiple students in a classroom. It's complemented by exclusive video shot at Drum Channel Studios, which contains additional information and playing examples of the FUNdamentals philosophy and exercises in this book. Video is accessed online using the unique code in each book.
