How Drum Lessons Work at Musicologie

Drums are a fun, active, and engaging instrument. It’s a great instrument for beginners of any age because you can start banging along to your favorite songs immediately. And getting started is easy: you just need a pair of drums sticks and a practice pad. We have drum students as young as three years old, but we offer lessons for beginning adults or advanced players too.

Drum Lessons for Beginners

Kids and Very Young Beginners

We often suggest drums as a perfect beginning instrument for young students. Don't worry - you can get quiet electronic drums! Drums are fun, exciting, and relatively easy to learn for children. With our tailored curriculum and approach, young drummers can develop their skills and enjoy success from the very beginning. For older kids, we offer more comprehensive instruction, using traditional methods such as Alfred's Drum Method. Whether your child is a beginner or advanced, we are committed to providing engaging and enjoyable drum lessons that cultivate a lifelong love of music.

Adult Beginners

Drums have become a popular choice among adult beginners seeking music lessons. The drums offer a unique and energetic experience, allowing adults to tap into their musical aspirations. If you're an adult looking to explore the world of drumming, you likely have specific goals in mind. Whether you aspire to learn a particular song, prepare for an open mic performance, or simply explore the instrument without a specific direction, we are here to support you at every stage of your drumming journey. Our experienced instructors will guide you with personalized instruction, ensuring that your drumming experience is fulfilling, enjoyable, and tailored to your individual aspirations and preferences.

Drum Lessons for Advanced Players

If you're an advanced drummer, you're well aware of your specific areas for improvement and what you need to focus on. Overcoming plateaus requires guidance from someone who has experienced similar challenges. Many intermediate and advanced drummers who seek our instruction often require assistance with music theory and note reading. They may be gearing up for crucial auditions or performances that demand a high level of skill and preparation. Rest assured, we have faced those same auditions and performances ourselves and possess the expertise to provide the guidance you need. Our instructors are equipped with the knowledge and experience to help you navigate these hurdles and achieve your musical goals with confidence.

What to Expect from Drum Lessons at Musicologie

The first step is to attend your first drum lesson. You can sign up online, or contact us at (513) 620-4923. You can attend your lesson online over video, or in person at the Anderson studio at 7120 Dunn Rd Cincinnati Anderson, Ohio. We call the first lesson an assessment. But don't worry - it's not a test! It's a chance for us to get to know you, what your goals are and how best to help you achieve what you want. Plus it's a chance for you to get to know us!

At the studio you'll meet our Community Manager and your teacher who will guide you through process. You'll receive a welcome folder with prices and policies, a practice guide and a practice log. You'll spend about 30 minutes getting set up, learning about Musicologie, talking to you teacher about your goals and playing your ukulele. Your teacher will recommend a curriculum for you, and then, you'll sign up for ongoing drum lessons. You can choose from 30, 45 or 60 minute private lessons. You can also join a band through our RockStars® program. Then, start practicing!

Our Philosophy of Education

Why Choose Musicologie?

We are driven by a set of unifying principles that guide every lesson, every class, and every interaction.

Get Started

Discover More

We Start Early

Research shows the earlier you start, the more lifetime benefits you receive from studying music.

We Believe in Immersion + Exploration

All our lessons and classes are experiential and immersive, fun and exciting!

We Teach Life Skills

Music is awesome! It teaches so many things: emotional intelligence, discipline, self-awareness, motor skills, dexterity and more.

We Assume Good Intentions

We grow the trust, mutual respect and confidence of our students by assuming good intentions from everyone.

We Teach the Process of Learning

We focus on the process rather than the product, facilitating discovery rather than dictating information. We teach how to learn, not just what to learn.

We Encourage Mistakes

Making mistakes is what learning is. You try something, make mistakes, and try again. We encourage mistakes so our students are excited to take risks and try new things.

Our Responsibility

We know a student's success is our responsibility. It's our job to make lessons engaging, fun, and easy to be excited about.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Musicologie Anderson, we understand you may have questions! We want you to have total confidence that Musicologie is the right place for you or your child to start, or continue your musical journey. So we've collected the most frequently asked questions about our music lessons, our programs, and what it's like learning music at Musicologie.

The Musicologie Method™ is rooted in two things: a safe environment, and education through play. Research tells us these two elements are key components of the way everyone learns, from kids through adults.

In music lessons, a safe environment means a place where you feel free to be who you are, encouraged to play the music you enjoy, and excited to try new things. Education through play means having fun playing your instrument! That's why it's called playing music! We use games and strategies to help our music students make serious progress while enjoying the process.

We know that you'll stay more engaged by learning music you love and you'll grow faster by using what you've learned in your lessons in performances. We'll take our own Musicologie Method, along with traditional method books like Suzuki, Alfred's, Faber, etc., and combine that with contemporary music you're excited about with the goal of performing in one of our ensembles, group classes, or at one of our concerts.

We teach all ages. Many of our students are between the ages of 5 and 12, but we teach toddlers and we teach many adults, too! Our toddler music class is called Musicologie Junior and starts at 6 months. Private lessons start at 5. We also have a rock band class called Rockstars where students ages 7+ learn to be rock stars and play at local venues!

We also have member workshops, open mics, and concerts for all our students, including adults! At Musicologie Anderson, not only can you learn an instrument from an amazing, friendly, certified teacher, but you can meet other musicians and join a community of music explorers!

Not for your first lesson. We have instruments at our studios you can use for the first few lessons. But after that you'll want to get your own instrument for practice at home. Your teacher will help you pick out the right one. We also have open practice hours so you can come in and use instruments and practice rooms at Musicologie during the week.

If you do have your own instrument, you should definitely bring it with you, as long as it's easily portable - leave your piano and drums at home

How to reschedule your lessons or classes at Musicologie
