“For as long as I have known Drew Tucker, both as a student and a professional, the students that he has turned out have always been of high quality and some currently perform in some ensembles at UCF. The news that he is starting this school for percussion is welcome news and im sure the best choice for aspiring percussionists in south florida.”

Private Lessons Taken at the Academy

Professional studio teachers approved by the Academy will teach these lessons. It is very important for students to have the advantage of high quality instruction, as solid foundations are essential. Private instruction is available in the following disciplines.

Piano - Covering the areas of piano performance and music theory, the Classical Piano Course emphasizes the development of the piano technique from Elementary to Advanced level. The course also prepares students to sit examinations conducted by the various Music Examination Boards.

Percussion - the percussion curriculum is broad and can be catered to the specific needs of the student. The most recommended program involves total percussion training (Drum set and world drumming, mallet percussion, concert percussion, and rudimental percussion) although student may choose a focus instrument of their choice.

Flute - The objectives of the flute studio are to learn and appreciate flute repertoire from all periods of music. The goal of every player is to master the techniques of flute playing including tone production, dynamic control, correct fingerings and fingering patterns, articulation styles, intonation tendencies, and corrective measures. Interpretation and expression is also a large focus in order that students may recognize and demonstrate an understanding of interpretive instructions found in music. They also need to recognize and demonstrate an understanding of performance practice styles and conventions pertinent to the music they are playing.

Guitar - The Guitar Course has been progressively graded to make learning to play the guitar easy, enjoyable and effective. Apart from acquiring guitar playing technique through the classical repertoire, private lessons in guitar also cultivates note reading and ensemble playing skills.

Voice - In our Vocal studio, in addition to acoustic singing, you study using a microphone, and amplification system, allowing you to fully control your voice. Our principle is to build the perfect 'instrument', ready to sing whatever, and whenever, you choose, the same as a well tuned grand piano for a concert. You will probably understand, even if youÕre not a musician, that with musical instruments, whether a piano, violin, or flute, you can use them to perform every kind of music. Our students love this methodology, and it helps them choose the perfect road for their talents.

*Private lessons will be available before or after classes, especially to accommodate sibling schedules.

*Private lessons are offered separate from group packages at a rate of $75.00 / Hour or $40.00 / Half hour
