PERCUSSION DEPARTMENT
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.
Youth – 30/45 minutes; Teenage and Adult – 45/60 minutes
The appropriate age for starting drum lessons can vary greatly from student to student; generally student age ranges from elementary age through adult.
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.
