Pittsburgh Drum Lessons, Drum Lessons In Pittsburgh, PA

F.A.Q's:

"What is the best age to start drum lessons?"
-Best age for kids is between ages 5-7:
Kids in this age range are more impressionable and are more likely to retain information taught to them. Plus it is easier for parents to help their kids practice lesson material at home in this age range.

"My kid is in the school band,
so he/she doesn't need private instruction...
it's all the same right?"
-ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
School bands are not able to provide the personal attention needed for each student to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses...Plus there are a host of other issues too.
(contact the studio at 412-225-9859).

"I am an adult who always wanted to play. Is it too late?"
-Nope!
As long as you are willing to practice the material from lessons you will be fine!

"We are not ready for drum lessons because
we don't have a drum set"
-GREAT!
For drum lessons, YOU DO NOT NEED A DRUM SET. All necessary equipment is offered from any one of our STARTER PACKS.
So there is not a big financial or space investment here!
