THREE COACHING SESSIONS:
Each session is approx 75-90 minutes of crystal clear coaching,
tailor-made around your skillset and goals.
LEARNING AS A VIP:
With a small group, there is extra focus and attention - you will get one-on-one time with Marla and connect with
like-minded drummers all over the world.
LEARNING THROUGH INTERACTION:
Everyone will have the opportunity to ask Marla questions to maximize their knowledge and skills.
LEARNING BETWEEN SESSIONS:
You will receive homework specifically tailored to your needs!
LEARNING BEYOND SESSIONS*:
You will get a personalized graduation review from Marla, to inspire you further to perfect your goals or ‘Percussive Passion Project’ (PPP).
*In our final class, you will be asked to share your PPP for Marla to review. If you do not have a PPP, you can play any rhythm that you have worked on during The Academy courses or previous VIP sessions.
Firstly, make sure you’re signed up to the Frame Drum Academy Program of your choice, either Frame Drum 101,
Frame Drum 202 or the Bundle Package.
Secondly, register for this Amazing Add-on while spaces are still available!
On July 20, you will receive a VIP Welcome email with a Zoom video link to our VIP Sessions.
Finally, ZOOM in, LEARN and ACCELERATE your playing… to become a Very Impressive Percussionist!
“I consider Marla to be the one of the very top percussion performers in the US of today. She is well known in the community for her virtuosity and artful skill with hand drums.”
~ Glen Velez, 4-time Grammy-winning percussionist & Marla's mentor

Hello, I'm Marla… a Grammy-nominated musician and one of the few female frame drum specialists in the world today.
Having studied music since I was three years old, music is my first love and greatest passion! I hold a BFA & MFA in Percussion and have been fortunate to study with some of the most world-renowned, inspiring teachers and leading masters in frame drum, Indian and West African drumming.
Delighted to pass on what I’ve learned, I’ve now been teaching for over 25 years. I have seen, first-hand, the amazing power of music to help heal and bring joy. Over 15 years ago, I first started helping students online, when that kind of learning was a strange new world.
The Frame Drum Academy online is my dream child. Born in 2015, we currently have hundreds of happy students and are growing by the day!
DEEP Gratitude to my teachers, without whom I would not be where I am today!
