Before the first lesson
- Which lesson length should I choose?
- For the youngest and for anyone just starting, half an hour is often just right: it is short enough to stay with from start to finish. A full hour leaves room to play more and work through things unhurried. If you are unsure, start with the shorter one — you choose the length again every time you book.
- What should I bring to the first lesson?
- Your own sticks, if you have a pair. Nothing else.
- Is there a kit at the studio?
- Yes, the kit is set up. You do not need to carry your own.
- How young can someone start?
- From four or five years old. The practical measure is the feet: once they reach the floor from a low drum stool, playing works.
- What if I get ill?
- Let me know as soon as you do, and the lesson moves to a new time at no charge.
- What is needed for an online lesson?
- Your own kit or a practice pad, a network connection, and a device with a camera and a microphone.
- Can I study with you somewhere else too?
- Yes. I also teach drums at the Vuosaari music institute, which suits anyone looking for a regular hobby: there you play through the autumn and spring terms, and the fee is a term fee rather than per lesson. Enrolment is open all year round, and I am happy to tell you more.
