What are the lesson rates?

• 60-minute lessons: $60 per lesson

  Lessons are billed monthly. Monthly tuition totals are based on the number of scheduled lesson weeks in each month.

How often are lessons held?

Lessons are offered in weekly 30- or 60-minute reserved time slots. Weekly lessons are recommended for consistent progress.

How does scheduling work?

Students are assigned a reserved weekly lesson time based on instructor availability. Lesson slots are exclusive to the student and remain reserved unless a change is requested. Requests for new lesson times are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

How does tuition work?

Tuition is billed monthly and secures a reserved weekly lesson time. Tuition is due in full at the beginning of each month to hold the student’s slot. The studio does not offer per-lesson or pay-as-you-go options, and tuition is required regardless of attendance.

What is the cancellation or makeup policy?

Lesson tuition reserves a weekly time slot and is not based on individual lesson attendance. Missed lessons due to illness, vacations, school events, work conflicts, or other personal reasons are not credited, refunded, or rescheduled.

If the instructor needs to cancel a prepaid lesson due to illness, weather, or emergency, the lesson credit will be carried forward to the following month. Occasional makeup opportunities may be offered at the instructor’s discretion, but are not guaranteed and are limited to lessons canceled by the instructor.

Do students need their own drum set to start lessons?

No. Many students begin lessons without their own drum set. A pair of drumsticks and a practice pad are sufficient for practicing fundamentals at home. As students progress, they may choose to invest in additional equipment.

What drumsticks are recommended?

Promark or Vic Firth 5A drumsticks are recommended as good all-around options. Other sticks may be more appropriate depending on personal preference and musical style.

Where can drumsticks and practice pads be purchased?

These items are available at most music stores and through online retailers.

How do new students get started?

Lesson times are scheduled based on availability. New students are required to review and sign the Drum Lesson Studio Policies & Tuition Agreement before their first lesson.
