Drumming is as much about the mind as it is about the physical act of playing. Learning how to listen to music and understand musical structure, both melodic and rhythmical, goes a long way to help us become integrated into the musical conversation occurring with the musicians we are playing music with. This is the same for those who play along with recorded music at home to the seasoned professional musician playing in headline acts.

Learning a musical instrument can be a rewarding and sometimes frustrating past-time or career. However, with the right guidance and practice, it can also be a voyage of inner self discovery connecting mind and body to produce inner self expression and achievement that can produce greater level of self-awareness.
