For decades, we have been at the forefront of music education in New York. Formerly known as The Drummers Collective, we are excited to announce our new identity as The Collective Global Vision, starting in March 2024. This rebranding reflects our commitment to evolving and growing towards the future.

The addition of “Global Vision” to our name signifies our expanded perspective on education, which now encompasses a worldwide scope. In today’s music industry, musicians can reach beyond borders and connect with audiences around the globe. By adopting a global viewpoint, we aim to provide our students with broader horizons and the ability to thrive in the international music scene.

As the music industry evolves, so do the roles of musicians. Today, a single artist can create a multitude of sounds, perform solo, and even venture into production. Our new name embodies our focus on education and empowerment within this expanding global stage.

Our mission remains the same: to deliver high-quality, practical music education and nurture future talents who inspire and captivate through their craft. At The Collective Global Vision, our students learn not just technical skills but also how to understand social trends, address industry needs, and integrate their music into their business endeavors. Additionally, we are dedicated to innovating music education by incorporating the latest technologies and trends to support our students.

With our new name and renewed vision, we promise to enrich our students’ lives and contribute to society through the power of music and creativity. Join us as we embark on this exciting new chapter and work towards shaping the future of music education.

The goal of The Collective Global Vision is to create an educational environment that connects the realities of the contemporary music industry to the classroom and provides students with all of the elements necessary for artistic and commercial success. By continually reviewing and updating curriculum to meet changing industry standards, employing working professionals as instructors and maintaining state-of-the-industry facilities, we aim to create an educational atmosphere that replicates the challenges and opportunities that graduates will encounter when they transition from student to professional.
