DRUMS

Traditional drumset study for Youth through Adults

Students advance in several areas of percussion studies (standard, jazz, Latin, etc) with attention and reinforcement of basic concepts such as rudiments, sight-reading, ear training, and improvisation. Snare and drum kit instruction are available.

Recommended session duration
Youth - 30/45 minutes; Teenage and Adult - 45/60 minutes

Age to begin Drum lessons
The appropriate age for starting drum lessons can vary greatly from student to student; generally student age ranges from elementary age through adult.

Starting Supplies
Students are able to begin lessons with a practice pad before purchasing or renting a drum kit. A pair of drumsticks and a practice pad may be purchased through our Academy office or at a local music store. As they learn more about pattern basics/rudiments and stick technique, students may choose to move to a drum set.  Some students will also begin lessons on drum kit.
