DRUM LESSONS
(for ages five and up) Our drum instructors teach rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues and many other styles. Drum language can be complex and our instructors will challenge any drummer with a wide variety of technical exercises designed to improve your speed and comfort. All drummers bring in their favorite drum parts to learn in their lessons and theory is encouraged. You do not have to purchase a drum kit to take lessons. Beginning students can learn with a drum pad and sticks for only $25.00. Students use our drum set at their lessons and do not have to bring anything except their drum sticks and a notebook.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
IS A COMPLETE DRUM KIT REQUIRED FOR DRUM LESSONS?
No, having a complete drum kit is not necessary when beginning drum lessons. Students can commence their lessons using a practice pad, which is a compact pad, roughly the size of a dinner plate, priced at $20-$30. This pad is employed for practicing fundamental drum rhythms.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?
There's no fixed answer to that question. If you practice regularly, you can reach a basic level in a few months. Most of our students keep taking lessons for a while because they enjoy it and want to keep getting better.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO ASSIST MY CHILD WITH THEIR PRACTICE, EVEN IF I LACK A MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR SKILLS?
Absolutely. Despite not having a musical background, you can consult the teacher for guidance on how to support your child's practice. By ensuring they complete their daily exercises and occasionally observing their music lessons, you can help them make progress. This way, you can gain insight into how a song should sound and how your child should position their hands.
WHAT WILL I LEARN DURING MY DRUM LESSONS?
That question is often asked by prospective students. WE make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals.
We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach.
A seven year old having their first drum lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
The main reason to choose Westmont Music Academy as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual.
If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, to blues and classical.
ARE YOUR DRUM INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Our drum teachers have received their education from respectable institutions in the US such as Roosevelt University, De Paul University, Columbia College of Music, Judson University, University of Minnesota, and also in universities across the world. Some of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the US and Europe, all which have many years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level.
ARE THERE DRUM RECITALS?
Absolutely! Every January and June we provide recitals in a professional recital hall for our students to perform. There are no admission fees so you can invite as many family and friends as you want to attend the recital for free.
