Professional Development for Music Educators

Crash! Boom! Bam! is Kelli Rae's innovative method to teach the performance techniques of percussion accessories commonly used in school bands.  This in-person crash course designed for music educators smashes weeks of training into just one session per level of study.  Each level includes 10 instruments requiring distinctly different playing techniques.

The student version of Crash! Boom! Bam! is a 5-week-long instructor-led and fully-remote percussion accessory program developed during the COVID pandemic.  For each  level of training,  instruments are shipped to the student for hands-on learning.  This course is IDEAL for young students who have no qualified percussion instructors in their home area.  Learn more here.

Choose from 6 masterclass offerings bringing the trainer, Kelli Rae Tubbs, to your school, focusing on the skill-building that is right for the musicians in your program.  Choose from a variety of drum set styles, 12-bar blues and improvisation on mallet instruments, and sound effect instruments exactly like those used by drummers during the silent film era.
