Drum lessons
Minnesota School of Music offers the best drum lessons in Blaine with an age-appropriate curriculum focused on helping students learn and develop skills that they can improve over time.
Our drum teachers teach a variety of styles from classical to popular music.
Your child will learn drum techniques as well as theory. They will also learn how to play along to their favorite contemporary music that they truly enjoy.
Our current drum instructor is highly knowledgeable in the craft and is also skilled at teaching.
To have the best success, look for the following things in a drum set:
- Complete set: A basic drum kit will consist of a bass drum, a snare drum, a tom, a floor tom, a hi-hat, and a crash cymbal (it would be preferrable to have a ride and splash cymbal too). An additional tom and a more efficient set of drum pedals will also enhance your child’s playing.
- Invest in a good drum throne for comfort. This will allow the student to practice longer comfortably.
- Drum tuner and a good set of drum sticks.
It is ideal for students to have their own drum kit to play with. You can either purchase one or rent one to help them along with their musical journey. A basic drum kit will consist of a bass drum, a snare drum, a tom, a floor tom, a hi-hat, and a crash cymbal (it would be preferrable to have a ride and splash cymbal too).
You can choose to buy or rent an acoustic or electronic drums to help your child learn the instrument better as we go through the lessons. Craigslist, your local pawnshops, or your music store are excellent places to find these drums in both brand new and pre-loved conditions.
If you are in the market for a drum set, but have not had your first lesson, we recommend waiting until you’ve had your first lesson. That way, you know you’ll be getting a kit that fits your body and your budget. Our friendly drum instructors are professionally trained to provide you with expert advice on selecting the right drum set.

Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress.
