Came across this site the other day. It’s a school called Powercord Academy and it’s cool for several reasons:
- One, it’s totally focused on today’s music. While there are faults with that, it also makes a lot of sense. As a drum teacher it always bugged me that every beginning drum book was about concert snare drumming. Kids do NOT START drumming because they want to play snare drum. They want to play drum set. NOW!!!
- Two, because it’s totally focused, kids can learn what their interest is really all about and whether they have what it takes to do that.
- Three, it proves that there are many, many ways to make a living in the music business. Here’s a group of players who started their own school so they could play, make money and teach others to do the same.
Rock On!!!
