What is the cost of lessons?
There is a one time initial start up cost of $50. This covers the cost of materials, memberships, and webpages. In addition to this, lessons are $120 a month. This monthly cost is regardless if the student shows up each week or not. Students are paying for a spot in the program not a guaranteed amount of lessons each month. See Calendar for details.

Can I reschedule a missed lesson?
A missed lesson can not be rescheduled unless it is done 24 hours in advance. If a student simply forgets about a lesson or does not come, they can not schedule another lesson. See the Policies Page for more information.
05
What materials do I need for lessons?
As part of the one time start up fee, students will be provided the method book Drums in Color which can be found here. Each student will also be provided a 3 ring binder. This will be used to hold sheet music printed during lessons. We recommend that you bring your own sticks to lessons along with the provided material. Students will play on the studio drum set during lessons.
