Drum Corps Tuition
With Russell’s experience as both tutor and drummer through all grades from Novice Juvenile to Grade 1, Russell is well aware of what it takes for a drum corps to improve and progress. Drum corps tuition is for existing drum corps looking to improve as a whole unit, either for band engagements or for competition purposes. Tuition covers snare drumming, tenor drumming and/or bass drumming, whatever is necessary.
Drum tuning and maintenance is essential to a good sounding corps and is included during the sessions.
Pipe Band Workshops
These workshops are aimed at whole pipe bands wishing to improve their ensemble performance. The workshops involve half day or full day sessions during which Russell will make an initial assessment on the drum corps performance, the drum scores being played and the pipe band performance as a whole. Piping tuition can be included on request.
The ensemble is a major component of the general performance which can make the difference between a band's success or failure in a competition. Bagpipe and Drum maintenance will feature as part of the workshop.
