Short Course

The 'Short Course' lasts for up to 3 months and features ten 1-to-1 drum lessons.

How It Works

Drum Kit in StudioThe 10 lessons are taken as a course of weekly lessons, within 3 months. The sessions can begin on any day of the week and on any week of the month.

The end date will be a minimum of 10 full weeks from the start date, up to a maximum of 3 months from the start date. Learners need to commit to taking the 10 lessons within a 3-month time frame to complete the set of lessons.

Each ‘Short Course’ is tailored to suit the aims and needs of each individual student – whether studying towards formal qualifications, drumming for professional development, or learning drums as a hobby for fun.

A regular weekly time slot suits some learners, whereas others need a more variable time slot to fit around other commitments.

The course is flexible to accommodate a changing schedule - the only limit is the 10 drum lessons need to be taken within 3 months.
