Program Information

The drum is a very in-demand instrument, and we will offer you many new and exciting musical opportunities. Whether you are just starting or continuing your education, we would love to help you learn the drum from our certified educators. We provide private lessons through an innovative and engaging curriculum for our students. We have as many adult beginners as we have young children just starting on this instrument. Our unique approach to musical education facilitates a fast and practical learning experience for students of all ages. You’ll find all of the typical features of a drum lesson program here.

Each online drum lesson takes place between one teacher and one student for either 30, 45 or 60 minutes. While our drum sessions are all private, parents are more than welcome to attend their child’s lessons.

Goals

We can help you take your understanding of the drum to a new level and make you a better musician. Our goal is to develop our students to the highest musical level through private lessons. Creating the correct foundation for technique and appropriate repertoire is the utmost important thing. Beginner students will start to learn how to set up the drum set, drumsticks control, play pedals, rhythm, ear training, etc. Intermediate students will learn how to play odd time signatures, how to develop finger control, how to create new beats and develop foot technique with both single and double pedals. You also learn how to develop speed and endurance and how to apply all of this to music. More advanced students will develop proficiency in technique, articulation and texture. You will learn how to play with brushes and different types of soloing. Our Drum class covers the following subjects:

• Note reading and recognition
• Counting, rhythm reading
• Technique
• Sight Reading
• Rudiments of Theory
• Memorization
• Ear training

Repertoire

Selecting repertoire is one of the most challenging and important tasks that we take on in the development of our student’s musical education. Each coach is ready to tailor-make a lesson plan for you while still following the curriculum principles that have always led to success. Students at all levels will be given a selection of repertoire from multiple eras of music to study and perfect.
