In this new educational series from Vic Firth, we take you "Inside the Studio" of some of the world's top instructors to give you a peek into the time-proven curriculum that has motivated and educated generations of successful teachers and performers!

In our first series, we take you inside the jazz drumming studio of Steve Houghton from Indiana University''s Jacobs School of Music. In each video, Mr. Houghton will describe the curriculum segment, which will follow with a lesson & demonstration from a student from his studio. With each student's presentation, you'll see the immediate application of curriculum to the real world of performance and explanation!

Whether you're an educator or student, you'll be sure to benefit from the concepts and lessons from this series! We encourage your thoughts and questions in the discussion below.
