Drum lessons
for adults
You're never too "old" to learn something new! So, are you up for it? Then we'll make sure it fits into your (busy) life.
Our students are 18 to into their 70s. Most start between 35 and 60, you're not alone.
Drumming demands something that's becoming increasingly rare: letting go of what's in your head and concentrating on what you're actually doing. Not your phone, not your work. Just here, now. It's more than relaxation.
Why adults
drum
It's something creative, something in which you discover yourself, something you get better at. Something to be proud of.

What a lesson looks like
Every lesson lasts 30 or 45 minutes. Playing songs and having fun, with the focus on applying what you learn to the music you want to play yourself.
For everyone, at every age
About a third of our students are 21+, that's a lot of people! Beginners and advanced players, from 18 to well into their 70s.
We start from the beginning, how to sit, how to hold the sticks, how to count a rhythm. Calm, clear, step by step. The first few lessons feel unfamiliar. But then it clicks. And then it really starts to get fun.
Refining technique, learning new styles, more freedom in your playing. We look at where you are and where you want to go. Not what we think you need, but what you want.
