Philly Drum Project is very pleased to announce its pilot program of Rhythm Sessions, a weekly after-school program held in partnership with The Village of Arts & Humanities in North Philly. The 10-week program kicks off on October 2nd at 4pm. We're accepting applications for students now through Tuesday, 9/29 and we need your help to get the word out to students in grades 7 - 12 who are interested in studying drumset with some amazing instructors (Marcus Myers, Spanky McCurdy, Tre Lambert, Chuck Treece)! The program will also have a mentorship component, with older, more experienced students acting as mentors to the less experienced students to develop leadership skills and to offer input on drum skills and life skills. The program is designed to teach the foundational rhythms of a variety of musical styles and genres and their application to the drumset for live performance as well as contemporary music production. The goals of Rhythm Sessions are to help students develop drumming knowledge and skills with a focus on Philly-prominent popular music styles, to support students through social skill development such as leadership, teamwork, and self efficacy, and to provide an arts-based learning experience that has tangible applications to varying careers and gigs in music.
