Community Music Instructor Nick Stecz has run various ASSAI-style programs in schools and rec centres over the last 4 years. Nick’s high-energy rhythmic-centered music class lets kids explore the inner backbeat of modern music within the principles of physical literacy. Nick teaches rhythmic basics on bucket drums and other percussion using hands and sticks, with play-alongs to today’s most popular songs. Nick is a multi-instrumentalist and often brings in guitar, bass, ukulele and singing as an element to compose songs with the children. His TUFF DRUMMER obstacle course is always a hit at the end of every class, allowing students to prove their drumming skills through sport, with working as a team to get to the finish line.
