PHILOSOPHY
Musical Instruction with a Positive Influence
Music—the universal language—is intrinsic to all cultures and is a very powerful influence that can be used to edify or destroy lives and societies. In similar manner, a highly qualified instructor who becomes revered by his students for his social or technical musical skills can also become a very powerful influence upon them. And as with any great power, Ken is convinced that great responsibility should be taken to ensure the way we create, experience, and teach music has a positive influence upon all. For this reason, over the past 45 years, Ken has collected and used edifying recorded music containing exciting drum rhythms from all over the world in his private percussion instruction. He has also strived to be a good example to his students in appearance, word, and deed.
Learning to play a musical instrument is one of the few activities that not only stimulates a musician’s whole brain, but which results in the brain becoming highly connected! This benefit elicits surprising enhancements in a student’s attention to detail, memorization, cognitive and emotional maturation, academic and social problem solving, planning, strategizing, and language learning—not to mention physical coordination and development!
