2025 Maine Music Educators Association Conference

Get ready to feel the groove! This workshop starts with body percussion and builds up to full drum set playing. Learn how to teach the backbeat—the heartbeat of rock, pop, and modern band music—and keep the rhythm driving forward. Whether you're a drumming pro or just getting started, you'll walk away with practical strategies to help your students lock into the beat and rock out with confidence. No sticks? No problem! Come ready to move, tap, and jam your way to drumming success!
