NAMM 2016
SABIAN EDUCATION NETWORK CELEBRATES FIRST YEAR
The SABIAN Education Network celebrates its one-year launch anniversary in March 2016, marking a successful first year for this new educational outreach initiative. With its mission to assist drum teachers in the professional, educational, and business aspects of their careers, SEN has grown quickly in its first year and received glowing reviews from its members.
Under the direction of SABIAN Education Consultant Joe Bergamini, SEN staged three live events for drum teachers in 2015. Presented with the theme of “Develop, Manage, and Grow Your Business,” these events took place in New York City; Nashville, TN; and San Antonio; TX. Each event consistent of a panel of experts that engaged in discussion with the attendees; panelists included world-renowned artist/educators such as Dom Famularo, Jojo Mayer, Rod Morgenstein, Rich Redmond, Mark Guiliana, and others. SEN also presented four webinars featuring educators such as Jeremy Hummel and Daniel Glass, which were attended by hundreds of drum teachers online.
One of the main elements of SEN is its website, which contains a private forum for drum teachers, a database of teacher members, and a resource library of articles and videos (most contributed by members), all aimed specifically at drum educators. Prospective members apply at www.sabian.com/joinsen, and once admitted to the program, can immediately access all of the advantages of membership.
“I am thrilled with the response to SEN in 2015,” said SEN director Joe Bergamini, “and I look forward to bringing the advantages of the program to many more drum teachers in 2016 and beyond. It’s inspiring to see the synergy of these great educators assisting each other towards greater success.”
