where does the drumming sound come from?

[mariocast]

@Fl4dd3rm0uz: The drumming sound comes from a very hyperactive percussion major student in the back row!

[dopemcee]

btw are these more advanced piano players or just anyone who choose to take the class as an elective in the college??

i dont think i have these types of classes offered in my college..

cool...

[mariocast]

@dopemcee: The class in this video is a first semester functional piano skills class. All the students here are music majors, but their primary instrument is not piano. Most are music education majors who specialize in other instruments like trumpet, violin, horn, or voice, but they take this class to develop practical keyboard skills that they would use after they graduate and also to become more well-rounded musicians.

@mariocast If it's not 2 personal telling, can U tell us his name?

[TheOneAndOnlyMe92]

Wow I really want to be in your 'class' or group.

I've been playing piano for the last 15 years [I'm 18 now] and there is still a lot more for me to learn out there.

Is that program available for everyone who plays piano aka every pianist?

Thanks so much for posting all your videos!
