Q: |
Do I need a piano at home to take piano lessons? |
A: |
It is ideal if you do have a piano at home, but you can start lessons by using an electric keyboard to practice on. We recommend a keyboard that has regular sized keys and a touch sensitive response. |
Q: |
Do I need a full drum set to take drum lessons? |
A: |
No you do not need a full drum set to start drum lessons. Students can start lessons by using a practice pad. This is a small dinner plate sized pad that costs $20-$30 that is used for practicing basic drum rhythms. |
Q: |
How long does it take to learn an instrument? |
A: |
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn an instrument. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long-term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable. |
Q: |
I don't have any musical background or ability; can I still help my child practice? |
A: |
Yes. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. |
