- Drum set posture and ergonomics
- Reading drum notation
- Basic rock, jazz, funk, and Latin grooves
- Independence and coordination exercises

We also offer a full drum set experience—not just practice pads. This gives students real-world, performance-ready skills from the beginning.

Why Drumming Is Great for Students of All Ages
Drumming does more than develop musical talent—it improves focus, discipline, coordination, and emotional expression. For children, drumming is often a high-energy outlet that improves listening and patience. For adults, it’s a fantastic form of stress relief and a satisfying way to stay mentally and physically active.
We find that many parents who enroll their kids end up signing up for lessons themselves!
