Piano Lessons
Both my daughters love piano after the first free lesson and want to practice all the time. My 5 year old had a blast and was engaged every minute. My 9 year old also loved it. Ms G. was wonderful at keeping them both engaged virtually and also ensuring they had fun at their own pace. We look forward to many more piano lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you actually learn drum online?

If you’re seeking flexibility in scheduling and budget-friendly options, online drum lessons could be a perfect option.

The lesson structure remains identical to in-person sessions, but using live video chat platforms like Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet. As long as the teacher is professional and provides tailored drum instruction, we recommend considering online lessons for their flexibility and time efficiency.

Before signing up, make sure if the provider offers a free trial. Check the instructor’s educational credentials to see if they majored in drum and has at least five years of teaching and performing experience.

What's the best age for a child to start drum lessons?

The perfect age for a child to begin drum lessons is between the ages of 8 and 10, taking into account their individual development, including physicality and interest in drumming.

At Lesson With You, we welcome drum students aged 7 and up. For those under 10, we generally recommend that a parent be present during lessons. Our drum instructors tailor lessons for younger students by doing engaging activities like rhythm games, ear training, and improvisation.

What type of drum should I buy?

If you’re a beginner, a basic drum kit with snare drum, bass drum, and hi-hat cymbals works well. Look into renowned brands like Pearl, Yamaha, and Ludwig—they’re good choices for quality starter drum kits. As you get better, you can explore more drums and cymbals that you like and fit your budget. Just remember to think about your music goals, both short-term and long-term, to make the best choices for your drumming adventure!

How often should I practice drums?

If you’re a beginner, try to practice for around 20 minutes each day. If daily practice is challenging, aim for three sessions a week, keeping each one around 20 to 30 minutes. Tailor your practice routine to fit your schedule and prioritize quality over quantity. If you have specific goals, like preparing for college auditions, regular and intensive practice is required.

What can I expect out of live online drum lessons?

First, you will learn the optimal way to set up the sound, the location of the drums, and the screen. 


Teachers may recommend warm-ups and exercises to make your drumming techniques solid. You’ll play the drum piece you’re practicing and get professional tips from the teacher on your technique, how you’re playing the music, and your style. In the lesson, your instructor will help you expand drum repertoire while improving techniques, rhythms, independence, and music theory.

What's the importance of practicing drum rudiments?

Practicing drum rudiments is important for any drummers. These basics of drumming will improve your technique, speed, and control. Mastery of rudiments lets you play drums more expressively and to create complex beats easily. By practicing rudiments, you will build muscle memory, fostering precision and coordination between your arms.  In short, practicing drum rudiments sets you up to be a well-rounded drummer and boosts your confidence in expressing yourself through music.

How do I make my drumming faster without losing control?

Start slow and gradually increase the tempo as you build precision in drumming. Focus on the right drum technique by using wrist and arm motions efficiently. Practice with a metronome to maintain a steady beat and incorporate dynamic accents to improve control over varying speeds. Regularly engage in endurance-focused exercises to enhance stamina and speed.

In short, consistent drum practice will foster both speed and control in your drumming. You can become a better drummer by taking lessons from a professional drum instructor and receiving personalized tips and exercises.
