Hi Cana students and families, My name is Denise and I am one of the teachers part of SoundGarage.
I teach multiple different instruments both in schools and privately, sharing my passion for music. I welcome you to check out the Drum page with many music resources. if you have any questions or enquiries, you can contact me via email at denise.m.styl@gmail.com .
You can use this website to practice your instrument.
Look over to the tools panel on the left and select your instrument to start playing!
If practicing online isn't your style, another way to practice without a drum kit at home is to practice on the back of a chair or on a table or a bucket like in this fun video!
Familiarise yourself with the Soundgarage page and take this as an opportunity and ask questions on where to find and access resources.
Don't forget to tick off each weeks homework once you have taken a look. I will update this weekly with new resources.
What do you like about your chosen instrument?
Examples:
Do you like how loud it is or the sound it makes?
Do you like it because it looks cool?
Do you like it because your friends are playing the same instrument?
What do you know about your instrument and what would you like to learn through lessons?
Examples:
Would you like to learn how to play a song?
Would you like to learn how to read sheet music?
Would you like to play as a band with your friends?
