Drum Set, Piano, Guitar
Drum Set
You do not have to purchase a drum kit to take lessons (though owning one at home will greatly benefit your lessons). Beginning students can learn with a drum pad and sticks for about $50. And we sell them at the studio!
AFRAID of the NOISE? You can purchase an electronic set and use headphones!
Students use our drum set at their lessons and do not have to bring anything except their drumsticks and notebook.
If you are just starting out, here are a number of ways you can keep sound levels down while you practice and do it affordably:
1- Start on a rubber practice pad.
2- Put rubber pads on cheap drums.
3- Purchase an electronic drum kit.

Piano/Keyboard
Before we can begin piano lessons, the student must have a piano.
You can start lessons with our piano teachers by using an electric keyboard to practice on. Most of our students rent or buy small electric keyboards practice on at home. We recommend a keyboard that has regular sized keys and a touch sensitive response. A touch sensitive keyboard means if you press a key harder it will play louder and if you press a key softer it will play quieter.
Craigslist is a good resource and you can find a piano anywhere from free to $2000. It can be expensive to pay a piano mover (around $300), but it's worth it unless you have strong men, moving straps and a truck! (Which can be done!)
To have the best success, look for the following things in a keyboard:
1. 88 keys
2. Sustain Pedal (when you hold it down, the sound rings out)
3. Touch sensitive WEIGHTED keys (when you play louder, it sounds louder; when you play softly, it sounds softer)
RENT A KEYBOARD
Not ready to purchase a piano? You may rent a keyboard from us for only $30 per month. The program is month-to-month and after 24 months, it is yours to own. 3 month minimum rental. Great for students who want to see if they like lessons before purchasing an instrument!
