The Benefits of Bucket Drumming @ JPEC
At Jackson Preparatory & Early College, the middle and 5-year high school offering college credit and vocational certifications, you can explore all kinds of interests like sports, pottery, robotics, and -- drumroll please -- bucket drumming!
Why Bucket Drumming?
At JPEC we’re all about exploring new interests. That’s why we’ve got all the extras! Bucket drumming is just one way Falcons are broadening their horizons.
“The kids have a blast with bucket drumming. It’s a nice way to break through and see that I can do some musical stuff and have fun with it.” --Jonathon Marowelli, President
A recent study determined that bucket drumming reduces anxiety, increases focus and concentration, enhances self-awareness, and helps participants build relationships. Bucket drumming encourages creativity and teamwork. It’s a great first step in developing rhythm and learning percussion.
Bucket Drumming Builds Community
At JPEC our bucket drummers are not only learning a new skill, they’re collaborating and making friends.
Bucket drumming is just one way Falcons are building community here. We also offer

“There are so many rich opportunities for our students at JPEC; so many things to pursue and be part of. Discover a great idea and try it. If it doesn’t succeed the way you expect it, you’ve still tried something new and learned from it.” -- Jonathon Marowelli, President
JPEC continues to enroll new students in 6th-12th grade. Our team of administrators, teachers, and students will support you as you transition here. And we supply the drumsticks!
