Drum Workshops and Master Classes
The CityArts Toronto Rock Camp's Drum Workshops and Master Classes are intensive one week sessions. Featuring a staff to student ratio of 4:1, Drum Workshops and Master Classes will help young musicians accelerate their ability with instruction and guest clinics from some of the music industry's leading musicians and teachers.
