ABOUT CRUZLINE

CRUZLINE

    is an exciting drumline opportunity for students between the ages of 5 and 15 years old. Students in Cruzline come from all over the city. Kids from different backgrounds, schools, and districts come together once a week to learn how to play each drumline instrument: Snare Drum, Bass Drum, and Quads. At the end of each session, the Cruzline puts on an exciting show to share with friends and family! The shows are always filled with smiles, excitement and surprises.

 

This program involves students of all levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced students. This program is not just for boys but girls as well. Once you see them perform and display their talents you would think they have been playing for years. Cruzline is under the leadership of instructor Sal Cruz and assisted by daughter and fellow musician/percussionist Simone Cruz, and administrated by mother-in- law/ grandmother and retired teacher Sharon Kibbe.

 

​

     Cruzline Percussion was founded in 2006 with the main goal, to teach percussion skills to as many students as possible.  We believe the drumline experience should begin at an early age. Not only can young students learn how to play percussion instruments, but also learn about the importance of knowing how to work as a team.  We are energized by seeing the abilities of students increase as they progress.

CANCELATIONS 

 

We regret to inform you that we cannot make up a lesson if a student has to cancel. Since this is a performance based business, payment for that lesson is still expected. If CruzLine Percussion has to cancel, that lesson will be made up at a specified date.
