Does your child love to bang on anything and everything around the house? If they’re driving you crazy with all that “noise” maybe it’s time to channel their energy into formal lessons!
If you ask almost anyone about their favorite song, more often than not they’ll say they love it because of its beat. That all thanks to drums! Many consider the drums to be, quite literally, the heartbeat of music and believe that without it, things tend to fall more than a bit flat.
If you notice that your child has a natural aptitude for drumming, why not enroll them in drum lessons at Elevate Rock School in Fargo?

It’s a path to playing other instruments.
Drums are percussion instruments and by taking beginner drum lessons, your child has the foundation they need to be able to seamlessly transition into learning how to play and master other percussion instruments like the congas, triangle, clave or bass drum.
It reduces stress and anxiety.
It’s true! Studies show that drum lessons for kids have a positive effect on their overall mood.
