Drum Lessons

The loudest of all the instruments! Drums serve as the heartbeat of musical compositions, providing rhythm and structure that other instruments build upon. They have the unique ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from the thunderous excitement of a rock concert to the subtle, calming beats of a jazz performance. Moreover, playing the drums can have numerous personal benefits. It enhances coordination, concentration, and physical fitness. Drumming can also be a powerful outlet for stress relief and emotional expression, offering a therapeutic escape from the pressures of daily life.

JWY instructors kick off students with the basic rock 4-beat pattern in its most straightforward structure. Each week, students will evolve this beat by adding countless variations. Besides practicing rocking beats, students will delve into essential rudiments and stick patterns, crucial for mastering those signature rock star fills. Furthermore, students will be introduced to drum notation, a distinct system from traditional pitched staff notation!

To enroll in private lessons, students must be 5 years old or turning 5 within the current school year. If you have a 3-4 year old aspiring rockstar, explore our JamKIDS class!
