Unlock your musical potential! Join our exclusive workshop led by a renowned drumming master, Kendrick Scott. Discover the art of seamlessly merging your musical instrument of choice with your musical sense, unleashing boundless possibilities. Expand your horizons today.

 

Kendrick Scott's passion for percussion was ignited at a young age. Growing up in a family of musicians, he was drawn to the mesmerising beat of the drums. As a student at Houston's prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA), he honed his skills alongside musical prodigies like Jason Moran, Robert Glasper, and even pop sensation Beyoncé.

 

Scott's exceptional talent quickly gained recognition, earning him numerous accolades, including multiple DownBeat Magazine student awards and the esteemed Clifford Brown/Stan Getz Award from the International Association of Jazz Educators. With a scholarship in hand, he embarked on a transformative journey at the revered Berklee College of Music, where he majored in music education.

 

Scott's unrivalled artistry has graced stages across the globe. From touring with jazz legends like Herbie Hancock, Charles Lloyd, and The Crusaders to collaborating with renowned artists such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Kurt Elling, and Terence Blanchard, his name has become synonymous with excellence. He has had his signature rhythms on various Blue Note albums and his latest masterpiece Corridors (2023), showcases his genius in a more intimate setting.
