DRUM Lessons in Atlanta

Beginner to advanced drum lessons for kids, teens, and adults.

Learn Rhythm, Focus, and Confidence Through Drums

Drums are the heartbeat of music. At Highland Music Studio, drum lessons help students channel energy into focus, coordination, and musical control while learning how rhythm brings music to life.

Because drumming engages both hands, both feet, and the mind at the same time, students develop strong coordination and listening skills from the very first lessons. 

We teach:

  • Young beginners learning basic rhythms and coordination
  • Elementary and middle school students developing timing and control
  • Teens interested in rock, jazz, pop, or school band programs
  • Adults learning drums for enjoyment, stress relief, or performance

Why Learn To Play Drums

Drums are one of the most physically engaging instruments to learn, and one of the most empowering. Drummers don’t just keep time; they lead, support, and shape the music.

Learning drums helps students:

  • Develop strong rhythm and timing
  • Improve coordination, balance, and motor skills
  • Increase focus and listening ability
  • Build confidence playing with others
  • Release energy in a productive, creative way
  • Strengthen overall musicianship for any instrument

For many students, drums become an outlet for expression and confidence, teaching them how discipline and creativity work together.
