Events Update
It’s been a busy time for the Groove Warehouse and it’s not slowing down anytime soon!
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been happening and what’s coming up:
ACT Music Educators Network (“ACTMEN”) Conference
We recently attended the ACTMEN conference on June 24th. The Groove Warehouse had a small stall displaying some of our educational products. Our Director, Gary France ran a workshop for the conference attendees.
Term 2 Wrap Up
Our term 2 classes had their last week and celebrated the end of the term with some drumming and food/drinks. A big thanks to all the students for a great term, and a special thanks to everyone who brought plates of food to share with their classmates. There was some delicious food on offer! There was even a “Cuban curry” 😉
Here’s a gallery of images from the Term 2 Adult classes.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Term 3!
Damian Corniola Junior Drum Camps and Clinic
Australian Drummer Damian Corniola recently visited the Groove Warehouse and ran two one day junior drum camps and a drum clinic for adults. Damian was able to share his experiences, knowledge and provide hands on teaching to the attendees of all 3 events. The photo gallery from these events can be found here
