“The week was full of laughter, learning, play and practice as the students learned the meaning of unity and becoming one sound and one body with many working parts.”

It was so wild to watch some of the students work through some fears, anxieties, self-doubt and come out the other end on performance night more confident, excited and ready to do it all again.

Rufus Drum Shop’s new location hosted the incomparable Aaron Spears. The clinic was about 2 hours long and contained performances and Q&A. Some of BTN’s students asked some great questions and Aaron blew us away with some drumming that the kids had never seen live before.

“An in-depth approach to achieving outstanding results. ”

I’m so excited to post about this fantastic new song and video released today called ‘Best in Show’ by my friend and musical collaborator, Andrew Judah.

“...as teachers, our output of energy has to be quite high as we often are dealing with a range of student behaviours, emotions, learning styles and more.”

“I often think of new beginnings and fresh starts when I think of entering a new year.”

“The four days spent in this cabin were for the purpose of tracking the drums. It was on me to record 5-6 songs off the new album and I had an entire four days to do it!”

“Christmas is a time of giving; I believe that whole-heartedly, and in that spirit I could see the kids giving their best at this performance.”
