Overview
Whether your goal is to play in a school band, rock out to your favorite songs, or build strong rhythm skills, Paz Music & Arts Academy’s drum instructors will help you grow into a confident drummer. Students learn the fundamentals of stick control, rhythm reading, coordination, and technique while also playing along to fun, motivating music.
You do not need a drum set at home to begin — many beginners start with a simple practice pad and sticks, and we can guide you when it’s time to choose an electronic or acoustic drum kit.

We meet every student at their level and help them discover the style of music they enjoy — from rock and pop to hip-hop, worship, and more. Our goal is to share our love of music, build confidence, and help each drummer reach their potential.
