Group Drum Lessons

The big picture benefits

In your mind private lessons may be the best option for a child… but will you feel the same after you read these big picture benefits?

For many students a one-on-one lesson is just too intense. They don’t want the full attention of the teacher on them for the entire lesson.
Many students learn better within peer-learning contexts, especially while they are beginner/intermediate students.
Students get the opportunity to regularly be playing in front of other people, reducing performance anxiety.
Students hear other students ask questions they may not think to ask; this can lead to a deeper, richer learning experience.
There’s more of a sense of accountability and healthy competition when it comes to practising between lessons.
Students develop the skill of playing with others straight away, improving their ability to play in time and understand music within a group context.
Lifelong friendships form in group classes, making the desire to keep coming stronger.
Students can be asked to demonstrate something for another student, reinforcing what they’ve learned, and giving them a little ego boost in front of the class.
Group lessons typically include an independent learning element where students develop the skills to focus and practise alone without the teacher staring and listening to every note during that time.
Musical games are more fun in a group.
Students get a sense of how they’re progressing compared to the other students.

Private Drum Lessons

We usually recommend young children to learn the foundations of drumming in a group setting, as this will take them though everything they need to get started, and this option comes with a lower price tag.

However, we understand that this may not be suited to everybody…

Drummers Link offers private lessons in Northampton on a 1-2-1 basis. These lessons are in high demand and we do our best to accommodate.

What the initial private drum lesson is like…

By the end of your initial lesson you’ll be able to play your first beat and several drum fills, as well as learning a bunch of other foundational skills.

We’ll find out what it is about drumming that really excites you, and we’ll get to know you a little bit so we understand how to serve you best!

Throughout the beginning stages of learning we’ll teach you how to read music so you can practise at home, and we’ll get you working on some songs straight away to experience playing along to music and finding your inner beat!

Intermediate/Advanced Drum Students

Perhaps you’ve already made a start in your drumming journey and you’re looking for some extra help, or you stopped playing drums for some time and you’re now getting back into it?

We help give clear direction in your practise to get you progressing faster. We’ll cater our teaching style to suit you and will tailor the experience to match your personal needs and pace. Whether it’s the graded syllabuses or learning to play your favourite songs, we’ll make sure it’s your idea of fun.
