Crash! Boom! Bam! FAQ

---

The "Crash! Boom! Bam!" Kids Online Percussion Course is a unique way for young drummers to learn how to play percussion instruments in a HANDS-ON setting  from the comfort of your own home in LIVE online sessions with instructor Kelli Rae Tubbs.

Seating is limited to 11 students per camp!

Ten common percussion instruments will be covered during the camp.  Each student will receive an info sheet about the origins of each accessory instrument along with practical exercises and fun play-along tracks to perfect their skills. 

There are currently three levels of learning. each covering 10 different percussion instruments.  The next Level 1 course opens January 8, 2023.    Each student must start at Level 1.

No!  For students in the United States, everything the student will be provided, including the percussion accessories you will use  and return at the conclusion of camp using a pre-paid shipping label .

If you need to borrow instruments, the upfront cost is $275 -- $175 for the course costs, plus a wholly refundable $100 deposit on the instrument pack.  After the final session, return the instruments in good condition right away.  That will speed up the return of your deposit.  Adjustments for instruments which are missing or broken will be reflected in the amount of the deposit which is returned to you.  Just in case you're wondering, nearly everybody receives their full $100 back.

If you are lucky enough to have access to the instruments already, the course is just $100.  You pay the tuition only.

Probably not.   The instruments sent to you to use will probably have been used by another student before you.  When instruments are returned, they are inspected for any damage, repaired if necessary, and sanitized for the next user.  It is expected that every student will take good care of these instruments and that they will be returned promptly after the course is complete.

The $175 tuition covers 5 hours of online group instruction, info sheets for each instrument, musical exercises, play-along tracks, instrument rental, and shipping (in both directions).  Students have an opportunity to submit video of their playing for individual feedback, too!

A deposit of $100 is collected with your tuition.  It is refunded to you when the instruments have been received in good condition following our last session.

There is plenty of opportunity for feedback during class -- class sizes are limited to just 11 students!

While you don't have to use the provided instruments, you must have access to the instruments covered in the level you're enrolling in.  If you already own them or are able to borrow all 10 instruments before a predetermined shipping date, a small portion of your paid tuition would be returned to you.  There can be no refunds once the instruments have been shipped.

Things happen!  If a cancellation for a paid registration occurs more than 30 days prior to the first session, a substantial refund will be issued once the instrument pack has been returned.

For cancellations made less than 30 days prior to the first session, a partial refund may apply when instruments are returned.  Please ask for the complete cancellation policy for full details.

The student may have an option to attend a future camp if one is scheduled.
