Learning drums with a private instructor is the best way

Learning drums with a teacher is very important. Nowadays there are plenty of ways to learn music; there are apps, video tutorials, platforms with video, forums, etc. But nothing compares to learning with a teacher.

Learning drums with a private instructor allows you to address directly and quite instantly issues that may come up as you learn the instruments. These issues might have to do with tension in your body or posture, a bad habit that is developing or a technique that was not fully understood. A private drum instructor can see those things right away and correct them on the spot.

This is why learning with a teacher is so important. It teaches you, not in general, how to play drums. A teacher sees your virtues and natural abilities and natural tendencies and teaches you how to improve, learn and correct.

Learning with a private drum teacher also means meeting with someone once a week. This helps you to stay focused and consistent about your practice. One hour a week is not enough practice, in fact you should see the lessons as the moment where you will get your practice for the week.

Your improvement then is based on your consistency. This does not mean practicing for hours, instead what it means is the consistent schedule of your practice, how often you practice throughout the week. This is a fundamental element of your training.

Finally, learning with a teacher means learning with someone who will share his or her passion for the instrument and this will reinforce yours.

The best way to learn an instrument is with a private instructor, drums are no different. Finding a private drum instructor is easy now, visit Superprof and find the best instructor for you.

Is it possible to have drum lessons online? 

In the last few years, we have seen an increase in music lessons being held online. But can drums be taught online?

The answer is yes. And in fact, in the past drum lessons involved one drum-set, the student’s. Now, because of online lessons, the teacher and the student are at their corresponding drum-sets and the teacher is more free to show any particular movement, technique, posture, pattern or fill.

Online platforms and applications made particularly for meetings online have improved considerably. Meeting with a teacher online has become quite simple; all you need is an internet connection, a computer with a camera and microphone.

During their online lessons, teachers now have the option of sharing their screen in order to provide students with as much visual aid as they can. Latency is quite minimal nowadays, so teachers and students can play together in sync.

All material is shared digitally in the form of PDFs, but now teachers have the option of recording themselves on videos or in audio recording in order to help the student using every tool available.

Some applications may also allow the student to record the lessons and store them in their computer, allowing them to review the class at their own time whenever they would like.

And perhaps the major benefit of them all is that you get to have a music lesson at home at a reasonable price. Furthermore, because both teacher and student are just one click away, any commuting problems that might have caused cancellations or no-shows in the past are now not an issue anymore.
