Question 1

Who are the drum lessons for?

Accepted Answer

For everyone from approximately 6 years old. Whether you're picking up a drumstick for the first time or have been playing for years, you're welcome. We adapt our lessons to your level and what you want to learn.  We also have extensive experience with neurodiverse students and people with physical or mental challenges. If you're unsure whether drum lessons are right for you, come by for a trial lesson. We'll look together at what's possible and what you need.

Question 2

How long is a trial lesson and how do I book one?

Accepted Answer

A trial lesson lasts 30 minutes and is free. You'll meet one of our teachers, try out drumming and get a feel for the space and approach. You can book a trial lesson via the form on our website or by sending us a message.

Question 3

Do I need anything for the trial lesson?

Accepted Answer

No, not necessarily. We have drum kits in the studio and you can borrow sticks during the trial lesson.  If you already have your own drumsticks, feel free to bring them. The same goes for hearing protection, if you have it, use it. But if you don't have anything yet, that's fine. We have sticks and other accessories for sale in the studio if you want to continue after the trial lesson.

Question 4

From what age can children take drum lessons?

Accepted Answer

Children can start drum lessons from approximately 6 years old. But what "can" means differs per child. During the trial lesson we'll look together at whether it's a good time to start, or whether it might be wiser to wait another six months.

Question 5

Can I stay during my child's lesson as a parent?

Accepted Answer

You're certainly welcome to stay during the trial lesson. For regular lessons, it depends on your child's age and what feels comfortable for both of you. Young children sometimes like having a parent nearby. Older children often prefer to have their lesson independently.

Question 6

How much do drum lessons cost?

Accepted Answer

We work with monthly subscriptions. The price depends on the lesson duration and your age (under 21 years VAT exemption applies).  Weekly lessons: • 30 min: €79.50/month (<21 years) | €96.25/month (21+) • 45 min: €119.50/month (<21 years) | €144.50/month (21+)  Bi-weekly: • 30 min: €47.50/month (<21 years) | €57.50/month (21+) • 45 min: €71.00/month (<21 years) | €86.00/month (21+)  You pay monthly via iDEAL. The amount always stays the same, even during school holidays. We work with 36 lessons per year, spread over 12 months. During the first month you can cancel without a notice period. After that, a notice period of one calendar month applies.

Question 7

How is the tuition fee calculated?

Accepted Answer

This is how payment works:  • At least 36 lessons per year: A school year has 40 lesson weeks. We guarantee 36 of them. The other four cover public holidays, or a time when you are ill yourself. If nothing is missed, you simply get those lessons as well. Does the teacher cancel? Then the lesson is made up or another teacher takes it. • The same amount every month: We spread the tuition over 12 months. So you also pay the fixed amount in holiday months, which keeps the monthly amount low and predictable. • School holidays: We are closed during the school holidays of primary schools in The Hague. That is 12 weeks per year. • VAT: Are you 21 or older? Then 21% VAT is added. Under 21? Then you pay no VAT. Your age at the start of your lesson year counts: if you turn 21 halfway through, you pay no VAT for that lesson year.

Question 8

Can I book a single lesson?

Accepted Answer

Single lessons are possible for existing students if there is availability. They cost the regular lesson rate + €2.50 administration fee. For new students, we recommend starting with a free trial lesson.

Question 9

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

You pay monthly via iDEAL. After registration you'll receive a payment link by email. Payment is processed automatically around the first business day of the month.

Question 10

What if I need to stop temporarily?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel your subscription with a notice period of one calendar month. If you want to pause temporarily (for example due to illness or a busy schedule), please get in touch. We always look at what's possible together.

Question 11

Is there a notice period?

Accepted Answer

Yes. During the first month you can cancel without a notice period. After that, a notice period of one calendar month applies.  This means: if you cancel on March 15th, for example, your subscription continues until the end of April. You can cancel via email or WhatsApp.  If things are financially tight or if something else is going on, let us know. We'd rather find a solution together than have you stop.

Question 12

What's in the Parent Guide?

Accepted Answer

The Parent Guide is free and provides practical tips for parents about music education at home: motivation, practising without conflict and your role as a parent. You start reading right after filling in your name and email address.

Question 13

Which drumsticks can I buy from you?

Accepted Answer
