A drum set is a unique instrument and one perfect for kids of almost all ages. In a band, the drummer plays a vital role, establishing the meter and groove of a song, while occasionally adding spice and variety to the musical piece with signature fills or solos. Learning the instrument can also help improve students’ coordination skills, as playing a drum kit requires both hands and feet to be in sync.

Real Brave’s drum lessons combine weekly private music instruction with concert and recording participation, providing a learning program that is both fun and effective. We teach the basics of the instruments, as well as how to use our practice sheets, learning statements, standards, and studio technology.

Our method is the product of over 15 years in music education and exploration. Through our collective experience from our music teachers, we have crafted drum set lessons for beginners that not only engage students but also lead to learning other percussion instruments such as electronic drums or acoustic 5 piece drum set. And, with flexible after-school drum lessons, your kids can also learn to feel the beat. Plus with our in-house software PracticePad™we can track progress, can record video and audio and more, you are guaranteed to learn more on the drums here than anywhere else!
