Drum lessons in Surabaya

Kara Music Academy teaches private drum lessons for children and adults in Surabaya, Jakarta and online. Lessons are 30 minutes, once a week, built around rhythm, coordination and songs the student wants to play. Drums are part of our contemporary programme.

Rhythm first

Drums are for children with rhythm to spare, and for adults who never stopped tapping. Lessons build a steady pulse, hand and foot coordination and the confidence to keep time while others play.

What lessons cover

  • Posture, grip and stick control. Relaxed habits that protect the hands.
  • Rhythm reading and counting. Understanding what the music asks for.
  • Coordination. Bringing hands and feet together on basic patterns.
  • Songs. Playing along to music the student loves, which is what keeps practice going.

Practising at home

Many families have limited space or want to keep noise down, so ask the teacher what a practical set-up looks like for your home before you buy a kit. Short, regular practice helps more than one long session.

Where to study

Drum lessons are available at our studios and online. We confirm which teachers and slots are open when you book on WhatsApp.

Do we need a drum kit at home?

Not to begin. Take the trial lesson first. Ask the teacher what is practical for practising at home before you buy anything.

Is drumming suitable for young children?

The teacher looks at your child's coordination, focus and size at the trial and gives an honest recommendation on whether to start now.

Can adults learn drums?

Yes. Adult beginners are welcome.

Can drum lessons be online?

Yes. Every instrument at Kara can be taught online, live and one-to-one. Ask us on WhatsApp what you would need at home.
