About this course

Learn beatboxing with Dana McKeon, ranked 5th at the world beatboxing championships and twice UK vice-champion.

Dana takes you step by step through making drum sounds with your mouth, then combining them into beat patterns. You'll learn the kick drum, hi-hat, snare, cymbal crash, bass and shaker, how to breathe so you can keep a beat going, and how to build precision, clarity and speed through practical exercises.

Over twelve short lessons you'll go from your first sounds to your own beat patterns. Start with the free lesson and see how it feels.

Who it's for

  • Total beginners curious about making sounds with their mouth
  • Singers wanting to add rhythm and texture to performances
  • Self-taught beatboxers filling gaps in core technique

What you'll learn

  • Produce clean kick, snare, and hihat sounds
  • String sounds together into your first beat patterns
  • Breathe mid-beat so you can keep going

What you'll need

  • Just your voice and a quiet space
  • A mirror or phone camera to check yourself
  • A few minutes most days to build muscle memory
