Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I have to take lessons?
Beginners may want to think about taking lessons for an extended period of
time up to a full year. It can take that long to learn to read music, become
comfortable with different styles of drumming, and become comfortable with
the drums. For advanced students, anywhere from 1-6 months might be more
appropriate.
Am I to old/young to begin learning drums?
NO! Students as young as 5 and any age can learn to play. All it takes is
some practice.
How often do I have to practice?
As often as possible. You will master the drums much faster if you have time
to practice. Most people do well with about 30 minutes, 4 times per week.
Do I have to have a drum set to take lessons?
No. Many people benefit from learning to play a single drum first (most
commonly a snare drum) and graduating to a drum set later.
How long before I can play in a band?
As a beginner, if you are willing to practice, if you put in the time and be
patient, you may be able to preform live with a band in as little as 4-6 months!
