Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don't know where to begin, we are the ones that can help!
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, blues and classical. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play. With 4 instructors per instrument, you are sure to find the best match for YOU.
ARE YOUR DRUM INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?

are best qualified for mentoring our music students! Our instructors are highly qualified, all have teaching experience, and most importantly, they have a passion for teaching.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY DRUMS?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play drums. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a year or 2. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.
I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I STILL HELP MY CHILD PRACTICE?
Possibly. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. We recommend you monitor your child's practice. Make sure they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day. They will progress. Parents will occasionally sit in on their child's music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands.
