Drum Lessons (Ages 5+)
|
Drum lessons are currently available with the teacher(s) listed below and are open to all ages 5 and above. Students must have access to their own practice pad or drumkit for practice at home. We use Remo Silent Stroke drum heads and Zildjan Low Sound cymbals in our studio so that students can still play on a real acoustic drum kit without risk of damaging their ears. All of the above instruments & supplies as well as additional supplies which may be useful for drum lessons are available for purchase and/or rent from School of Music Arts. Please refer to our Rentals page for further details on instrument rentals.

brian kwon
Brian is a passionate musician with over 13 years of experience playing the drums. His musical journey began after being inspired by watching his older brother play guitar, sparking a lifelong love for music. In high school, Brian played drums in both concert and jazz bands. There, he took a leadership role, by guiding the percussion section during rehearsals and performances. Over the years, Brian has explored and played a variety of other instruments, developing a broad and versatile musical background. Brian is currently pursuing a degree in Economics at York University, and previously studied Mathematics at UWO. During that time, he volunteered in an elementary school setting, helping students learn math and gaining valuable experience working with young learners. Though the volunteer work focused on math, it ignited a passion for teaching that he is now excited to combine with his love for music. Brian is committed to creating fun, engaging, and supportive learning environments where students can explore music with confidence and joy.
silas wagner
Silas has been drumming for nearly a decade now, and is currently studying at Fanshawe's Music Industry Arts program. Starting out by playing covers with his cousins, drumming and music quickly became Silas's passion. As soon as the chance arose, he joined every ensemble with percussion in his high school that he could, and even helped start up their jazz band. Outside of school, Silas plays drums for several bands and solo artists in the London music scene both live and in the studio. All of this experience has led to Silas having in depth knowledge on the essentials for playing drums in any scenario, whether that be jamming with some buddies, on the lighted stage or behind the studio glass; and an enthusiasm to share this with his students through drum lessons.
What Are Your Rates?
We've learned that every music teacher is different, and each has different skills. Some have Masters degrees, while others are still students themselves. For this reason, we've given the teachers the ability to set their own rates when they are hired based on their skills. The rate for drum lessons start at $26.00 for a 30 minute lesson.
Is 30 Minutes Enough?
For beginners the answer is definitely yes. When you are first learning, you're getting a lot of new, and in some cases, confusing information given to you. The amount of information given in one 30 minute lesson will give you a lot to work on as you practice throughout the week. Practicing is absolutely essential to learning music. As you get to more advanced skills, more time may be necessary if and when your teacher recommends it.
How Long Will It Take To Learn?
We get asked this question a lot. There is no specific date, or number of lessons. It depends on a few things including how often students practice. Although the songs may be very simple, we know we can have students playing at least one short song within 30 days. If you are hoping to play Dream Theatre, it will take more time. But anyone can do it if they want it enough or work hard enough.
What Else Do I Need To Play?
There are additional supplies that may be needed throughout the course of your study, such as drum sticks. Also, as you progress, you may need new, more advanced method books so that you can continue to learn new songs and new techniques. We stock the basics to make sure every student has what they need to play, but other items can be specially ordered for you if needed or desired. For more information on product availability, please ask our administrative staff.
