What do we offer?
Drum Lessons
Headway Studio offers step-by-step drum lessons with an experienced teacher dedicated to providing a unique and rewarding musical education in any genre–metal, rock, pop, jazz, you name it! Lessons, either online or in person, range from beginner to advanced techniques and are personalized for clients of all ages and skill levels.
Beginners learn the basics: how to read simple notes (1/8th, 16th, and triplets), rhythms, notations, groove patterns, and more.
Intermediate and advanced lessons will continue to build on the fundamentals, while exploring more complex techniques and challenging music.
No matter the skill level, Headway Studio will work with you to make an educational plan that fits your needs and musical preferences.
Why we do it
Drums play a vital role in music. They are the heartbeat, the backbone of musical texture. A solid background in percussion consisting of proper technique, music theory, and functionality can propel any individual into a successful musical career. We’re passionate about music, drumming, and providing the best audio production services in southwest Missouri.
Why begin drum lessons?
Start Here
If you’re on this website, you’re already curious about drums. Maybe you want to play in a band or learn the fundamentals of rhythm. Instead of sifting through the overwhelming amount of online musical literature and “do it yourself” videos, sign up for in person or online lessons or our virtual classroom subscription to learn proper technique, receive individual attention, and make headway in your own personal, musical goals.
Proper Technique
Proper technique may not seem like a big deal. After all, it’s just hitting a drum–how important is grip anyway? But proper technique, including grip, stroke, and arm/leg motion, sets students up for success. A strong foundation that includes proper technique is key in reaching goals and making good music. Headway Studio can build this foundation with you, setting you up for success.
Individual Attention
Learning a new skill on your own with how-to videos and books can be daunting. Drum lessons at Headway Studio are individualized for each drummer based on your needs and goals, and instructors are available to give immediate feedback and answer questions.
Make Headway
Weekly drum lessons will keep you focused and practicing, so you can make headway in achieving your goals.
What equipment do I need?
You do not have to purchase a drum kit to take lessons. Beginning students can learn with a drum pad and sticks. The cost of these materials averages around $25.00. Students use Headway Studio’s drum set at their lessons and do not have to bring anything except their drum sticks and a notebook.
Here are some recommendations for drum sticks to pick up:
