Your MDS Drum Educator will work with you to establish your goals during your first lesson. The MDS curriculum is vital to a structured drum education and its concepts and exercises will be incorporated into your lessons. To make your lessons more enjoyable and impactful, your favorite songs can be integrated into the curriculum. It’s important to learn how to “catch your own fish,” and that’s the approach MDS takes!
