The Collective School of Music NYCAbout the
Founded in 1977 as The Drummers Collective, the school was created by a small group of professional New York City drummers. The idea was to assemble a faculty of top professional players who had the professional experience and the ability and desire to teach. For the past 42 years, this original concept has been the foundation of The Drummers Collective, as well as the other divisions of The Collective. The Bass Collective was started in 1996, as a complement to The Drummers Collective with the philosophy that drummers andbass players should learn together the music that they play together. The Guitar and Keyboard Collective divisions were added to The Collective in year 2000. These two new divisions give The Collective a complete rhythm section capability. Rhythm sections are a fundamental part of our curriculum and therefore offer the most effective learning environment for the students of popular music. The Vocal Collective is the newest division of The Collective, started in the Fall of 2012 in order to accommodate the growingnumber of students interested in developing their vocal skills as a compliment to their first instrument and it has already grown into a viable program for students who are pursuing a career as a professional vocalist.
