Oklahoma Teachers Look to World Drumming
Teachers in Oklahoma are hoping to soon be able to incorporate a popular music curriculum. World Music Drumming clinicians recently held a workshop at Oklahoma State University with the hopes of expanding the curriculum’s reach. Many states already use the innovative curriculum, which was created in 1996 by Will Schmid.
