We have had a number of students experience various injuries over the years and so long as they are able to attend school, lessons have continued as we can focus on bass-drum only technique or theory in the event of a foot or leg injury, meaning they do not need to use their hands or arms, OR rudimental work in the event of a foot or leg injury. If no physical activity is best we can focus on theory until the injured student has clearance from their medical practitioner.

We dive into the role of being accountable. Lot's of tutors become friends with their teachers, though real teachers are the ones, not afraid to point out when things need a little improvement...

This is definitely worth taking a small amount of time out of your day to learn from this superstar. Will Greinke talks with us about what it took to get a Distinction in Grade 8. Will is a superstar and any young drummers should take note.

At BRHYTHMIC, we have developed a state-of-the-art program to accommodate 21st Century learners. BRHYTHMIC was a digital studio prior to the Coronavirus epidemic - online learning has been a strategy of ours to fully support student learning outside face to face lessons.

Exams are a two-edged sword.

To nurture children and help them find a love for music whilst at the same time develop their skills and push their boundaries so they better themselves is the constant balancing act of a tutor.

Last year we had our 11th annual BRHYTHMIC concert. We performed our first group performance piece. The energy in the room was on fire and the overall vibe (sorry to sound like a Byron Bay hippy/not sorry) was simply awesome. This got the BRHYTHMIC team thinking, how can we harness the goodness from this group activity whilst honouring the most impactful way to learn i.e. 1:1 lessons? Have a listen to find out our research.

History has been made!

You are listening to the FIRST person to achieve an AMusA Percussion Performance Exam. EVER. This is groundbreaking news!

When Neuroscientist, Peter Simpson-Young approached me, as an expert in rhythm, and introduced me to two doctors and leading researchers in the field of music and the brain, I jumped at the bit to participate in their project. Dr. Neil Todd and Dr. Sendhil Govender are studying rhythm and timing skills using EEG to record brain activity.
