FAQ

Am I too old to learn the Drums?

If you are still able to move your upper and lower limbs, you are young enough to learn the Drums. Our oldest student to date is 69 years old.

​

At what age can my child learn the Drums?

We do not have a minimum age requirement, what we look at is a child's genuine interest in the instrument.

​

I have not much coordination, will the Drums be too difficult for me?

As with every activity or hobby, practice is the most important ingredient to success. Some are blessed with faster reflexes and better coordination, but commitment trumps them all. You'll be surprised at how fast you can improve with just 15 minutes of practice time.

​

So will the Drums be too difficult?

Our teachers are trained to break down each lesson for you in a way that will be easy to understand. Their years of experience will enable them to swiftly identify your learning style, ensuring that each lesson's content is presented to you in a simple and structured manner.

​

I am still worried that I will not be able to benefit from the Drum Lessons.

We offer one-off introductory lessons that will enable you to explore the instrument while getting comfortable with the teacher. We are confident that you will have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Please note that we do not offer free trials.

​

Do I have to take Drum Lessons every week?

We believe that regular weekly lessons are crucial to a student's progress and therefore, we require every student to attend one lesson per week. We usually do not advise taking more than one lesson per week, unless the student has sufficient time to practice the prescribed materials before the next lesson.
