Opus offers private drum and percussion lessons for students of all abilities from beginners to advanced students.

We typically start drum lessons from age 9 onward. Our research and experience has shown us that most students are ready for more focused private drum lessons by age 9 but not many of them are ready earlier due to coordination, body size in realtion to a drum set, and maturity level.

Our private drum lessons are one-on-one instruction with lesson lengths of 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour. *If you wish to register for a 45-minute or 60-minute spot, simply register for a 30-minute spot that has another opening afterward then call our friendly front desk staff to inform them of your intention.

Students can expect to learn the basic rudiments, various rhythms including rock, blues, jazz, afro-cuban all with fills. Students also bring their own ambition to the lesson with song choices. We have students who want to play just for fun and students who wish to excel with the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum. Our Arts Administrators are able to match students with a teacher that works best for their particular age, ability and interest. If you are not sure which teacher would be the best match for your child, call us!
