Welcome to Fall 2026
CURRENT SONG
"MARVELOUS"
by Mitch Wong (re:said)
TARGET FOCUS
You can play mostly any song, but can you play in dynamics and character?
WEEK 5 – 10.17
Micah Picks “Marvelous” as Next Song
Micah came in strong with more progress to show! We narrowed down his next target song: “Marvelous” (re:said version by Mitch Wong). For the next 2 weeks, practice 10 minutes a day on this song from 0:00 to 2:45 to maximize progress without overloading. By next lesson, we’ll figure out what we need to sharpen up. Keep up the hard work, Micah!
WEEK 4 – 10.03
Micah Finishes "God I'm Just Grateful"
Micah knocked it out of the park, completing "God I'm Just Grateful" (LIVE) with all the dynamics perfected and well played! We then journeyed through 4 optional CCM songs plus one probable pick for his next project. He'll have chosen his next song by next lesson. Keep up the good work, bro!
WEEK 3 – 09.19
Mr. John was out of town!
We will circle up at next lesson!
WEEK 2 – 09.05
Micah Runs "Grateful" With In-Ears Set Up
Great lesson with Micah! We got his in-ear monitors fully set up and ran through "God I'm Just Grateful" three times, then decided to pivot to the LIVE version! Next lesson, we'll use headphones and attempt a full song recording to wrap up this project!
WEEK 1 – 08.22
Diving Into New Music
You came in strong and eager to learn another song, diving into the radio version of "God I'm Just Grateful" and already nailing a lot of the dynamics! Keep up the practice this week, and we'll work on establishing tighter grooves next lesson.
HEY MICAH!
Welcome to Week 1!
Welcome back, Micah! I'm super excited to start drum lessons with you again. As we kick off this semester, let's really lean into the specific skills you've always wanted to learn and level them up. God is going to do great things through you!
