WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR DRUM LESSONS?

This question is often asked by prospective students. Our drum teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level, becoming familiar with your personal musical needs and goals.

We do not treat every drum student the same in terms of how we teach.

A seven year old playing drums for the first time will have very different needs than a fifty-seven year old taking up voice lessons for the second time after having taken lessons as a child.

The main reason to choose the Academy as your music lesson provider is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. If you enroll here for music lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first drum lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or for your child.
