No need to bring your drumkit – you use the drumkit in your teacher’s room for your lesson
How much should I practice?
At least 5 days a week; but everyday is better!
Beginners: 10-15 minutes each practice - one practice in the morning and another in the afternoon or evening are great for beginners
After 1 year of study: 20-30 minutes each practice
2-4 years of study: 30-40 minutes each practice
5 or more years of study: 40–60 minutes each practice
Your lesson time with your teacher is quite short and happens just once a week – what you do at home between lessons on each day of the week is what makes the difference!
