Learning Resources

For new members we’ve put together a range of resources to help people learn and develop their skills away from class.

We have a number of video tutorials for every piece in our repertoire that cover the parts played by each of the instruments, and a separate video of all the hand signals and cues that we use. There are also training videos for each instrument to help members improve their skills.

We also provide grid style notation and a percussion software, called MangoDrum, to which you can play along at your own speed.
