RECOMMENDED BEGINNER LESSONS

It is recommended that students ages 7 to adult start with a
weekly 45-minute lesson.

Children must be at least age 5 to start drum lessons.

Children ages 5-7 will start with a weekly 30-minute lesson, and may increase time as the student grows.

Intermediate & Advanced Students

Students preparing for NYSSMA and other competitions are invited to take 45-minute to 1 hour lessons. It is recommended that intermediate and advanced students take at least one to two lessons each week.

Intermediate & Advanced Students must be prepared to practice at least
20-30 minutes daily.

Practice Makes Perfect!

It is important that you make time to practice between weekly lessons.

RECOMMENDATION: At least 10 minutes each day

It is better to practice a little bit each day instead of a longer time fewer times each week.
