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.
