Why Should You Take Drum Lessons?
Everyone loves to hear a skilled musician play the drum. Interestingly, many musicians first learn to play the drum before advancing on to other instruments. The drum is genuinely a terrific instrument to start on. It is great for the beginner musician because it is easy to play for children or those with smaller hands, it provides a solid foundation for playing any instrument, and, maybe most importantly, it is fun to play. The drum is featured in classical music, jazz, blues, rock, folk music, and many other musical genres. The drum can be enjoyed so many different ways – solo performances, accompanied by vocalists, or accompanied by other instruments and musicians.
Our instructors at the Chambers Music Studio love giving drum lessons at our studio. We incorporate sight-reading, ear-training, music history, musicianship, musicality, and proper technique in all our private trumpet classes. We also love to use various music games to help strengthen our students’ understanding of music concepts. Drum students may participate in a wide array of events including, family recitals, nursing home recitals, and more!
