In a fun and engaging atmosphere we will develop the tools of musicality. I'm as comfortable with an absolute beginner as an advanced student. I've been a professional drummer and keyboardist for 17 years. Thirteen of these were touring with Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus. I've performed on cruise ships, in clubs and bars, and in concert halls.

I've been studying with Derrick for two months on drums and he's exactly what I need. As a beginner there are many coordination issues to pay attention to, getting the correct feel, position and sound response from the start is creating a foundation. It's often said that musicians spend more time replacing bad habits with correct one's. Getting the right principles now is moving the needle forward . My progress is steady. I couldn’t be happier with him & the platform.

Superb lessons. I asked Giorgio to help with my tempo and I am provided really good exercises to correct my tempo, I have been trying for years to fix my tempo and it feels Giorgio is guiding me really well in this.

Spencer is very organized and quick to provide feedback. At the end of each class, he'll send a summary to the student.

Excellent instructor. My son tried a couple lessons with Alison and loved them. She's great with kids and is extremely knowledgeable about music training. It's hard to keep a 9 year old's attention, but she's absolutely wonderful with him. I've signed up for a subscription because of how well they went.

What is Lessonface?
Lessonface is a Public Benefit Corporation operating since 2012 whose purpose is to connect students with great teachers for music, language, and arts lessons. Teachers on Lessonface set their own rates and profiles, and students can select their ideal teachers based on their background, teaching style, rates, and schedule.
How do online Percussion lessons work?
Online lessons are effective, affordable, and accessible. Lessonface qualifies teachers in over 300 music, language, and arts subjects, including Percussion. Students can browse teachers' profiles, send them messages, and book lessons securely through Lessonface. Lessons happen via Zoom links that are securely generated for each lesson, and can be easily recorded by the teacher. Recordings, notes, and attachments can all be accessed from within the Lessonface dashboard. Lessons can be booked one at a time, in packages, or by subscription to save a spot on the teacher's calendar. Lessonface hosts recitals, open mics, group classes, and self-paced courses too. Registering an account is free so it's easy to get started reaching out to find your ideal instructor. Contact us with any further questions!
What is the best method for learning Percussion ?

We're biased, of course, but at Lessonface we believe the best way to learn Percussion is through one-on-one lessons. Personalized instruction means your teacher can tailor every lesson to your goals, learning style, and skill level. Online group classes can also be a great way to make learning fun and social. Learning Percussion online makes it easy to stay consistent, which is essential to steady progress.

There are plenty of apps and YouTube videos out there to help with learning Percussion, but most teachers agree that those resources work best as supplements to, not replacements for, one-on-one instruction. A skilled Percussion teacher can identify bad habits before they become ingrained, help you focus on what matters most, and solve problems as soon as they arise, often saving you months of frustration and wasted practice time. The bottom line? A real teacher accelerates your progress and keeps you on the right path from day one.

How do I find the best teacher for me for Percussion lessons?

With over 100 qualified Percussion teachers who have together earned an average of 5 out of 5 stars over 810 lesson reviews by verified students, you can be sure to find a great instructor at Lessonface.

Lessonface offers free tools to help you find the ideal tutor for you or your family:

  1. Use the open filtering system
  2. Use our matching service to describe your background, scheduling preferences, and any particular goals, and qualified Percussion teachers will respond.

You can view teachers' bios, accolades, rates, send them a message and book lessons from their profiles.

Many teachers offer a free trial, and you can book lessons one at a time until you decide you prefer to book a bundle or subscribe, so don't hesitate to try. Teachers may also offer group classes, self-paced courses, and downloadable content, so there are more ways to get started while you're still getting acquainted with the community.

How much do Percussion lessons cost?
Percussion teachers on Lessonface set their own rates. Rates are displayed on the teachers' profile pages and in the checkout process prior to booking. Teachers may choose to change their rates for new bookings, and students will always be notified prior to making payment. Some Percussion teachers offer a free trial lesson to new students, which are not factored into the average prices.
How does payment work for Percussion lessons?
There is no fee until you book your first paid lesson. Many teachers offer free trial lessons. Students can opt to book one a time, or purchase lesson packages or subscriptions for scheduling convenience, and, depending on the teachers, a discount. Payment can be made by credit card or Paypal. Lessons booked with a subscription are pre-paid three days before the end of the month for lessons that are scheduled for the following month. Subscription payments can only be made by credit card (not Paypal). Teachers receive their payment after the lesson has been completed.
