Things to Know About
Drum Lessons
The drums is an instrument that can be learned and enjoyed at any point in life, so don't hesitate to start your journey.
Starting to learn the drums as an adult is a common and achievable goal, and many people of all ages have successfully achieved this through in-person lessons. Don't let your age hold you back from pursuing this hobby. In just a short amount of time, typically between 2-3 month, you can become a skilled drummer and able to play the music you love with confidence. Regardless of your age, learning the drums can be fun and rewarding.
Choosing between an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar is personal preference and ultimately depends on what you want to get out of your guitar playing experience.
When deciding between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, it's important to consider your personal preferences and musical interests. Acoustic guitars are known for their natural, warm sound and may be a good choice if you enjoy listening to music that is played on an acoustic guitar. On the other hand, electric guitars may be more suitable for those who have small hands or are just starting out, as they are often easier to play.
However, it's worth noting that playing an acoustic guitar can help to develop better finger strength and technique. Additionally, the cost of beginner level electric guitars may be higher than that of an acoustic guitar, but at professional level, the cost is similar. Ultimately, the most important thing is to choose the type of guitar that aligns with the music you want to play and will keep you motivated to practice.
When beginning to learn the drums, proper posture and technique are key. The drummer is the heartbeat of the band so learning to play in time is foundational.
By mastering the basic rudiments on the drums, with hand and foot coordination in place, you will establish a strong foundation for your future musical journey. This will also allow you to feel more at ease and in control of the instrument. With regular practice and guidance from a skilled drum coach, you will be amazed at how fast your skills will improve, even if it may feel daunting at first.
Although it is possible to learn the drums through online resources, many find greater success with the guidance of a personal drum coach.
Having a personal drum coach who can understand your unique needs, provide inspiration and motivation, can greatly enhance your drum learning experience. Online tutorials can often be inconsistent, hard to understand and demotivating, so if you have the opportunity to find a drum coach in your area, it is definitely worth considering.
Here at Guitar Lessons Balcatta, we have an experienced drum coach who can assess your abilities, customise a lesson plan that suits your goals and learning style, and offer constructive feedback and support as you advance. Additionally, playing music with someone else can be much more enjoyable and fun!
Being a great musician does not require a natural talent.
It's not a requirement to possess innate creativity or musical talent to play drums and appreciate music. Many individuals who initially thought they couldn't play music have achieved success and satisfaction through learning the drums, even later in life. If you have an interest in learning and are willing to invest time and effort, you can definitely do it. Don't let self-doubt prevent you from trying.
It doesn't take much time to start enjoying and making music on the drums.
How long it takes to become proficient at playing the drums is dependent on your aspirations and the amount of effort you put in to practice. If your goal is simply to play a few songs and have fun with friends, you can achieve that within a few months with consistent practice.
However, if you have more ambitious goals like playing like your favourite musician, perfecting your technique and playing fast solos, it may take more time. The important thing is to find joy in music and build confidence as you learn. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, there is always something new to learn and new challenges to tackle. The journey of learning the drums is ongoing and can be highly satisfying.
