Our drum lessons provide a clear yet flexible framework designed to inspire and educate students effectively. Each session is structured in three parts:

Class Structure:

1. Technical Exercises: Focus on developing essential drumming skills and techniques.
2. Rhythmic Patterns: Emphasize learning rhythm from the start to build a strong foundation.
3. Contemporary Piece: Engage with modern song soundtracks to play along with real melodies while having fun.

Key Focus Areas:

• Fundamentals: Emphasize posture, stick control, coordination, and musicality from the start.
• Personalized Song Selection: Collaboratively choose pieces with the student to ensure motivation throughout the year.
• Rhythmic Notation System: Students can learn using various notational systems tailored to their preferences.

For Beginners:

• Theoretical Integration: Apply music theory concepts (beats, rhythms, dynamics) practically during lessons.
• Drum Kit Availability: Both acoustic and digital kits are welcome.

Each student progresses at their own pace—encouragement and praise, yes! Pressure, no! The teacher demonstrates the right gestures, creating beautiful moments of sharing during lessons.

Organization:

At each lesson, homework for the following week is clearly written in a notebook so nothing is forgotten. The teacher also provides the necessary teaching materials.

Performance Opportunities:

Students can showcase their skills by performing solo on stage during FHK Music student recitals, held twice a year, in front of a supportive audience. There’s also the possibility to join a pop/rock band in the music school.

Additional Opportunities:

• Participation in pop/rock bands with our amazing pop-rock teachers. It’s always more motivating to learn with friends and prepare for concerts together!
• Possibility to prepare for ABRSM grade exams through our dedicated Maestro offer.

Join us for a musical journey that fosters joy and growth in every student!
