Hey guys,
as some of you might know, I post transcriptions in the Playing Technique Forum. Also, I'm starting my own little drumschool in Paderborn, Germany (which is where I live of course).
The school will have it's own curriculum ranging from a Songbook (transcriptions of Songs that students want to learn), Sight-Reading, Playing Technique, Grooves & Fills and all of my Solo-transcriptions that are available here.
I'll also have a website for the school which will be online in a few days (I have written the url on all my latest transcriptions, allthough it was still in the making.... sorry about that - it will be online really soon though.)
Soooooo..... here comes the thing:
I've been experimenting and working with different designs for my Notation-Sheets. I want all the sheets that I hand out to my students to have the same design (like a corporate design).
Here is what I came up with. It was a lot of work for many reasons - mainly because the options that Sibelius offers for layouting are really really really weak, so I have to export the music notation as graphics and then work with other Programs to make it look good.
This is a version of the latest Billy Cobham Transcription. Just let me know, what you guys think of the design. All my material will look like this, with different colours (Red for the Songbook, Blue for Transcriptions and Green for Technique / Reading / Grooves - I call this category "Workshop").
Do you think this looks professional enough? Allthough I am no design/layout expert, I want this to be able to compete with drumbooks that you could buy in a shop. If I show my curriculum stuff to a new student, I want them to think "wow, this looks so nice, I want to learn it just because I like to look at it".
Any design-flaws? Any important things missing?
This is still in the making, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
