DRUM LESSONS

FOR CHILDREN

Drum Lessons at Capital Music Center features degreed teachers and maximizes both learning and enjoyment. We offer group and private lessons Monday thru Saturdays. We teach all the basics of learning to play the drums. Students will develop fluent mic reading skills and play many styles of music.

  • Our drum lessons are more effective than traditional lessons because we utilize technologies like the Roland V-Drums, the Roland Music Tutor, the Roland Drum Tutor, iPods, and computers to help students learn at a quicker pace.
  • Group lessons are especially effective because:
    • Learning with other people of similar ability is more fun, it’s like playing in a band.
    • Most students have to practice no matter the “excuse”, to keep up with the group.
    • Students gain confidence playing in front of people.
    • You get an hour lesson each week (that’s double the lesson time compared to a typical private lesson)
  • Private lessons allow you to focus on your specific wants and needs.
  • We want our students to be successful in drum study.
  • Students need to practice on a regular basis and have a drum set at home to practice on every day.
    • We highly recommend the Roland V-Drums Digital Drum set.
    • They take up less room, have many more sound choices, have a computer interface, iPod input, and best of all they have a headphone jack for silent practice.
    • Roland V-Drums are the number one selling digital drums because of their fea-tures, authentic sound quality, and authentic feeling pads or mesh drum heads.
    • We can rent you a Roland V-Drum Set for a low rate and 100% of the first 6 months apply toward the purchase.
  • Our Drum Instructor: Jared Farney received his Masters degree in Music Performance – Jazz Studies, from the University of North Texas.
    • He has studied the drums for over 20 years and has taught private lessons, group lessons and drum lines internationally for over 10 years.
    • He was a marching member of the world renown Santa Clara Van-guard drum line for the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
    • Jared is a Vic Firth educator and tailors each lesson to the specific needs of the students.
  • Students that purchase or rent the Roland TD-11 or TD-15 Series VDrum Sets from Capital Music Center receive a free copy of the Roland VDrums Tutor Software (for PC or Mac) for the ultimate practice experience.
  • Enjoy practice in a fun format when you play along with the onboard patterns and songs using the colorful graphical interface.
  • Learn drumming step-bystep from beginning to intermediate levels.
  • Improve your sight-reading with the Notation Screen, and enjoy drumming with Game screen.
