Since 1991, Rockschool has been renowned for providing drummers with the skills they need to become outstanding musicians. The underlying pedagogy behind Rockschool Drums is progressive mastery. Simply put, this means breaking complex activities into small chunks and using assessment to help all students understand when they’ve achieved the goals set. Musicians have been learning this way through benchmarked achievement for over 100 years, but Rockschool believe its modern approach makes it really engaging. Teachers who use their material and assessment services attest to this all over the world.
One of the standout features of Rockschool’s approach is its dedication to practical, hands-on learning. Drummers from around the world have used Rockschool syllabuses to develop their skills and explore various contemporary music genres. Rockschool grades include an array of essential techniques and styles, enabling drummers to find their groove and master everything from rock and pop to jazz, funk, metal, indie and hiphop. By working through graded exams, students progressively build their expertise and confidence, ensuring they are well-prepared for the demands of any live performance and studio recording.
This year, Rockschool continues to revolutionise music education with the new Rockschool Drums syllabus. Rockschool Drums is packed with refreshed repertoire, brand new original arrangements and upgraded technology, allowing drummers to learn, teach, and jam with their friends like never before.
