Playing the drums offers many benefits, including the improvement of hand-eye coordination and strengthening the structure of your brain through rhythmic practices. Drumming also offers a wonderfully creative outlet, as it is largely based on improvisation.
The drums are an incredibly diverse instrument, allowing one to explore a variety of music types. Drums are found in genres such as rock, classical, jazz, country, R&B and many more. Students will not be limiting themselves to a single musical style when they learn to play the drums.
Allegro offers lessons for acoustic drums, electric drums and practice pads. We will cover all aspects of drum playing — including warmups, rhythm exercises, reading notes and performance skills.
Whether you are looking to learn a new skill, brush up on your old talents, jam out with your friends or become an international rockstar, Allegro Music School can help. Find out more about our drum lessons near you.

WHAT IF I DON'T OWN A PIANO OR OTHER INSTRUMENT?In order for you to get started right away with lessons it is important to have an instrument to practice on. If you don't already have a piano in your home, and are new to lessons, we recommend that you start with an electric keyboard. There are many options out there for keyboards, with a wide range of models and prices. You do not necessarily need a high-end keyboard to start. For woodwind and string instruments there are several rental companies in the area that allow you to rent your instrument on a monthly basis until you are ready to purchase one of your own.
