Lexi A. says, "So far I have worked with a woman named Jennifer. She has been wonderful. She has an overtly welcoming and helpful energy.

This place is exactly what I’ve been needing to satiate my itch for music. " Read more

All of my lessons are given in my drum studio or online. This allows me to teach my students on real drums, not electronic drums or practice pads. Many of my former students are now touring professional drummers. The best part of about teaching is guiding my students toward the discovery of their abilities.

Are drum lessons worth it?

At what age do you start drum lessons?

Children can start drum lessons between 6 to 9 years old. Initial instruction begins with a single drum. Kids can't play on a full drum kit until they can reach the foot pedals and focus for extended periods of time. For adults, any age is suitable to learn drumming.

How many drum lessons do you need?

You will need drum lessons every week for about half a year to a whole year in order to learn to play simple songs. If you want to audition for a band or play drums like a pro, it usually takes 2 to 5 years of lessons.

How fast you learn depends on how good you are now and how much you practice.

How long is a drum lesson?

A drum lesson is 30 to 60 minutes long on average. The lesson length depends on how experienced the student is and their age. Shorter lessons are better for beginners to help slowly increase their focus. This way, they can build up their strength for longer practice sessions later.

Definitely a professional. Our lesson started promptly, and he was very adept at assessing skills and figuring out where to go from there. I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to get lessons from someone who is not only EXTREMELY skilled but also an excellent teacher as well...it’s hard to find someone who is both!
