A chart-based method, taught in the order a working drummer actually learns: read, play, write, vary, perform. Every student moves through the same five steps, at their own pace, and every one of them ends up able to read music.
以鼓譜為核心的教法, 按職業鼓手真正的學習順序: 讀, 打, 寫, 變, 演. 每個學生都走同樣的五步, 只是速度不同, 而且每個人最後都能看譜.
Every student starts with a real chart — Backbeat Highway. The first session is reading, not playing. By the end you can point at any symbol and say what it means.
每個學生都從真實鼓譜開始 —《節奏公路》. 第一堂課是讀, 不是打. 第一堂課結束時, 你能指著任何符號說出它是什麼意思.
The chart becomes music. We count in together, play through, then play it again at full tempo. By the end of week two you have played your first song.
鼓譜變成音樂. 一起數拍子, 一起打過去, 再用全速打一次. 第二週結束時, 你打完了第一首歌.
Measures 33–64 are blank. You write your own part. This is the first real test: did you read the chart, or did you memorise a pattern? The blanks reveal it.
第 33-64 小節留白, 學生寫自己的部分. 這是第一次真正的測驗: 你是讀了譜, 還是只記了個節奏? 留白會揭曉.
Basic rock, basic funk, basic ballad. Same chart form, different vocabulary. You hear how the same three voices make a different song.
基本搖滾, 基本放克, 基本慢歌. 同一種鼓譜格式, 不同的語彙. 你會聽見同樣的三個聲部如何做出不同的歌.
A 60-second play-through, recorded. You take it home, listen to it, decide what you want to fix, and come back next week with a question.
一段 60 秒的打譜, 錄下來. 帶回家聽一次, 決定想修什麼, 下週帶著一個問題回來.
A child who can read a drum chart is a child who can play with other musicians. A child who can read a chart does not need a teacher for every new song — they can teach themselves. A child who can read a chart can sit in on a rehearsal at school, or at church, or at a community centre, and contribute.
The chart is the difference between a child who plays the drums and a child who is a drummer.
Most chain music schools in Taiwan do not use charts. They use ear training and rote learning. That is the cheap way to teach — it scales, but it plateaus. A child who has taken lessons for two years and cannot read a single chart is a child whose teacher failed them.
I teach with charts because that is the standard a working drummer holds. Working drummers read charts. We read them at sound check, in the studio, on the bandstand. If I can read a chart, my students can read a chart. If they can read a chart, they can play with anyone. If they can play with anyone, they will never be bored.
That is also why the chart library on this site is free. It is not a lead-generation trick. It is the first five minutes of the lesson, given away, so that a parent can see what their child is about to learn before they have paid anybody anything.
看得懂鼓譜的孩子, 可以跟別人一起演奏, 不需要老師教每一首新歌, 可以在學校、教會、社區的排練裡 contribute. 這就是「會打鼓」和「是鼓手」的差別. 網站上的鼓譜免費, 不是行銷手法, 是課程的前五分鐘 — 讓家長在付錢之前, 先看見孩子將要學的東西.
Every lesson ends with something written down. A student who leaves without knowing what to do for the next seven days will not come back.
Single-stroke roll, then the pattern you are working on. Slow before fast, always.
十分鐘打擊墊. 先慢再快, 永遠如此.
We read it, we play it, we play it again. Then we write the blank section together.
二十五分鐘在鼓譜上. 讀, 打, 再打一次, 然後一起寫留白的那段.
I write your practice plan. You take it home. That is the lesson, and it is why the students improve.
我寫下你的練習計畫, 你帶回家. 這就是為什麼學生會進步.
