Tara Bohle2024-06-06My 3 kids and I have been with Dark Mountain Music for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it! I'm always referring friends so I figured it's about time I left a review! lol The instructor is amazing and makes each lesson engaging and enjoyable. We take singing, piano and guitar lessons. Plus most recently music production. It's great that we can add or change instruments as we go without having to change studios or companies etc.. because they teach them all here. I also like that he comes to us for lessons instead of me having to drag my kids around. Super convenient that way. I've heard from many friends who are with other companies, that their younger kids don't enjoy piano lessons cause they're forced to work on classical music, but you get to play what you love here. You pick the songs to work on. Like my boys are learning video game music and current alternative music. Which is really cool to see and hear converted to the piano. I can't ever see us leaving Dark mountain music!
Amy B.2024-03-24I have been taking singing lessons with the absolutely amazing Julia for almost a year now and my experience has been wonderful! Julia is a fantastic teacher. I have grown so much in my time with her and I'm looking forwarded to continuing to push my vocal boundaries with her help. I recently started piano with her as well and I'm loving every minute. Julia is professional, patient, and most importantly, inspiring. My lessons are my favourite day of the week.

faq
Do I need to own a drum set before starting lessons?
For in-home or online lessons, owning a drum set is required, as our instructors don’t travel with kits. However, if you’re taking lessons at the instructor’s studio, it’s highly recommended to have one for practice between sessions. We’re here to assist you in finding affordable options for purchase or rental to suit your needs and budget.
Can I choose the style of drumming I want to learn?
Absolutely! We encourage students to explore a wide variety of drumming styles, including pop, rock, jazz, funk, blues, Latin, and more. Our instructors have been teaching music for years in a wide range of genres and will customize the curriculum to align with your musical interests and goals.
Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, we’re dedicated to helping you excel in your chosen style of drumming. Feel free to choose the genre that inspires you, and we’ll support you every step of the way on your drumming journey!
Do I need any prior musical experience to start drum lessons?
No prior musical experience is needed to start drum lessons with us. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have had some more advanced drum lessons before, our experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of rhythm, coordination, and technique at your own pace. With our clear instruction and support, we can help students of all ages and skill levels begin their drumming journey confidently and enthusiastically.
How do I know if the drums are the right instrument for me?
When it comes to picking the right instrument for your music lessons, your passion and interest should be at the top of your list. While natural talent can be beneficial, it’s not the sole determinant of success or enjoyment. With dedication, practice, and enthusiasm, anyone can develop their skills and excel at drumming. Don’t let concerns about natural talent hold you back if you feel a strong pull towards the drum kit, even if you haven’t started playing!
WHY LEARN THE DRUMS?
ADAPTABILITY
Drum kits can be customized with different drum sizes, types of cymbals, and accessories, allowing you to create a setup that suits your unique playing style and preferences. This adaptability ensures that drumming remains an instrument you can tailor to your evolving needs and musical tastes.
PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Drumming engages muscles throughout your body, providing an effective cardiovascular workout while improving coordination, stamina, and overall physical fitness. It’s a dynamic and enjoyable way to stay active and healthy.
IMPORVED COORDINATION
Drumming is all about nailing the coordination between your hands and feet, which amps up your motor skills, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination. With those rhythmic beats and moves, drummers level up their physical control and agility big time!
VERSATILITY
Drumming transcends musical genres, allowing you to explore a wide range of styles such as rock, jazz, funk, and Latin. This versatility enables you to broaden your musical horizons, adapt to different musical contexts, and find your unique voice as a drummer.
