Leslie M. says, "Finding The Briar Thomas Conservatory has truly been a blessing! We signed up our youngest daughter for piano lessons here and quickly saw that this facility is much more than just musical lessons. Amora the owner goes above and beyond with not only obtaining the best instructors, but providing a fulfilling experience for the entire family. The students are enriched with musical history, group projects, family field trips and so much more. I only wish we found her sooner. If you are hesitant about joining her school, DO NOT HESITATE. Amora's passion for teaching music is so evident that you can feel it throughout the school. You will not regret joining. " Read more

Are drum lessons worth it?

Drum lessons are worth if for those who want to play professionally or who want to learn faster. Private classes help students sharpen their techniques more quickly and build better playing habits. Expert tutors offer tailored feedback to nourishing the latent talents within their pupils.

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.

How do I find a good drum teacher near me?

Find a good drum teacher near you by searching for private drum tutors on here on Lessons. Another option you have is asking for the availability of teachers at music stores or community colleges.

Before you choose a drum teacher close to you, remember to:

  • Check the prices from at least 3 drum teachers to compare them.
  • Look at what people say about them on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask for a references list of students they are teaching or have taught.
  • If they will teach your child, ask other parents if their kids liked the teacher.
  • Make sure you get a written plan and a schedule before you start your first lesson.
  • Try a few classes and see if you like the teacher before you pay for a whole month of lessons.

What questions should you ask a drum teacher?

Before hiring a drum teacher, ask them:

  • How long have you been a drum teacher?
  • What music school did you go to?
  • What ages do you like to teach?
  • Can I try a lesson for free?
  • What kind of drum should I get if I don't have one at home?
  • How much should I practice between our lessons?
  • Can you tell me where to get cheap books for learning?
  • Will I get homework like drum patterns to remember?
  • Can you teach me in a way that helps me learn best?
  • How long is a lesson?
  • What should I bring to our lessons?
  • How many types of drum music can you teach me?
  • Can I get a copy of our lesson plan, rules, and how much I have to pay?
  • What if I can't come to a lesson because something important came up?
  • Can I learn to play my favorite songs on the drums?

Amora is so professional, kind and talented. My daughter looks forward to going to her lesson each week, to continue to learn from her. It’s not just a piano lesson, Amora creates a community of curious learners by including field trips to various places around town where the kids can experience music together, see various types of performing arts and share thoughts and ideas. We’re so happy with our experience with Amora.

In my search for a drum instructor, I did not want to just be a slot in someone's calendar. it was important to me that I find someone who I could develop a good student/teacher relationship with, who would challenge me to improve week over week. I am grateful that I found that in Yousef! They are attentive and thoughtful with their approach; keen to notice the elements of my playing that need help, and developing a lesson plan accordingly. When I got injured and could only use one of my hands, Yousef easily accommodated this issue and I still got lots of value out of my sessions. The lessons and materials they created are thorough and of excellent quality. I look forward to continuing my drumming and rhythm education with Yousef as I'm certain to improve under their direction!
