DRUM NOTES
FOR TEACHERS

Ideas from real educators to boost
your classes with Drum Notes.

USE IT AS A DIGITAL WHITEBOARD

Write rhythms live from any device and project them so students follow in real time.

  • Students can see notation instantly
  • Perfect for live corrections
  • Great for hybrid or remote classes

Pro Tip:

Project the student's screen instead of yours. It makes them feel involved, even if they're learning remotely.

SHARE EXERCISES AND FOLDERS

Every score you create can be shared via link, PDF, or audio. Better yet: group them into folders based on topic or level.

  • Students can practice with interactive scores and adjust tempo
  • They're encouraged to edit or explore other scores in the library
  • You stay organized. No need to rewrite the same exercises

CREATE A "HUB" FOR EACH GROUP OR STUDENT

A collaborative space to chat with students and organize all your content.

  • Keep everything in one clean, focused space
  • Students can send homework and questions anytime
  • Stay connected and keep the groove going between classes

Pro Tip:

Create one "Section" per class. It becomes a living digital notebook with the full learning history.

Success Stories

REAL TEACHER
SETUPS

Drum Notes is an intuitive app for creating, teaching, and sharing drum scores designed for classrooms, ensembles, and drumlines.

GROUP TEACHING STRATEGY

Manolo

GROUP CLASSES + HUBS

Manolo teaches several student groups. He believes rehearsal is for playing together, and homework is for progress. His system:

  • Projects Drum Notes on a screen during class
  • Uses a Hub per student group (e.g., "The Djembe Lions")
  • Creates a Section inside each Hub for every class
  • Students submit homework by transcribing grooves or sharing scores in the Hub chat

GAMIFICATION STRATEGY

Yara

GAMIFICATION WITH FOLDERS

Yara has 30+ private drum students and uses folders to keep them hyped. She created:

  • Exercise packs by level
  • Full song transcriptions + related groove packs
  • Creates a Section inside each Hub for every class

"Getting a new folder feels like a reward."
