with Jeff Salem

MUSIC IS MY PASSION  (Video Demo)

Please find enclosed information on a dynamic "NEW" opportunity for your school to have Jeff Salem perform an instructional/entertaining drum event as well as a motivational talk for your music students

These three programs were designed to support the music director at the local public, middle and high school level by motivating students to further their music and percussive studies.

The educational and artistic content focuses on many different areas which you will find enclosed in this package. The teachers can choose what topics they would like Jeff to discuss. The students will get the opportunity to participate and have time to ask plenty of questions. Not just drummers will benefit from this event, but all the music students will enjoy this show.

The approximate length of the event is one hour- 90 minutes, but this can be personalized to meet the school’s needs. The cost of these events is very reasonable as our sponsors have helped to offset the fee.

Jeff Salem has been performing these seminars for over 10 years visiting over 300 schools and music stores in over 30 countries around the world. Jeff has currently performed these events on the Disney Cruise Lines for the kids and teenagers aboard the ship. This program is catered to all age groups.
