FAQ’s
What age can my child start drum lessons?
We recommend starting drum lessons around age 5, or when your child is able to focus for a 30 minute lesson. Drums are a great first instrument for kids because they develop rhythm, coordination and timing, while also providing a fun physical outlet for energetic children!
Do you offer drum lessons for beginners?
Absolutely! We welcome drum students of all ages and experience levels, including complete beginners. We’ll take you through everything you need to know, from holding your sticks and learning your first rhythms to playing your first songs on the kit.
Does my child need their own drum kit?
Not initially. A drum kit can be a big investment, so it’s worth making sure your child is enjoying their lessons before buying one. To begin with, a practice pad can be a great option for working on technique and rhythms at home. As they progress, you can gradually upgrade to an electronic drum kit or a full acoustic kit.
Can I learn my favourite songs in drum lessons?
Absolutely! We love using songs students already enjoy as part of their lessons. Learning through music you’re excited about makes developing technique, rhythm and coordination much more enjoyable. Bring us a song you love and we’ll see what we can do!
Do drum students get opportunities to perform?
Absolutely! All of our drum students are invited to perform at our mid and end of year concerts. It’s a great opportunity to showcase what they’ve been learning, build confidence and experience the excitement of performing live. We also have other performance opportunities pop up throughout the year.
Can drum students play in a band?
Yes! We love seeing our students collaborate and make music together. We organise a monthly Pajama Jam, where students can play with other kids, learn how to jam together and even form their own bands. It’s a relaxed, low pressure way to experience what it’s like to play music with other people.
Where are your drum lessons located?
Our drum lessons are conveniently located at our studio in Grange, Brisbane’s inner north. Downtown Creative Studios is on Carberry Street, directly across from Wilston State School, making us easily accessible for families from Grange, Wilston and surrounding Brisbane Northside suburbs.
