Drum Classes for Kids (ages 5-11)
We also offer fun, social group music classes for children, including:
-
Multi-instrumental after-school music classes (ages 5+) – kids rotate through a variety of instruments including drums, learning rhythm, melody and teamwork
-
Drums-specific group classes (ages 7–11) – a structured, confidence-building way to learn piano alongside friends
These classes are ideal for younger students who thrive in a collaborative, energetic environment.
