There's a waitlist for the class I want my child to join?
-
Some classes fill up and a waitlist will apply. If spaces arise we contact you and offer you a space via email.
Can my child attend...he's 4 years old ?
The drum patterns and class structure is geared for five year olds and up. All of our teachers are drummers and an intrinsic part of the classes involves music lessons which require a certain level of ability to enjoy!
We’ve seen children younger than five get frustrated and lose interest fairly quickly. Children of five years (or already in junior infants) and up are perfectly challenged and get more out of it. So in most cases, it's best to hold off if your child is still 4.
My child has never played drums before....will he/she be ok to join?
Absolutely...beginners are welcome! The lessons are pitched to the specific age group .... yes there will be varying ability within each group but the lessons are structured so that everyone enjoys the beats taught and are given the opportunity to progress within their own level of skill. Think of it like how the GAA does it - you join other children of your own age regardless of previous experience.
My two children are different ages - can I send them to the one class to avoid two pick ups?
Yes, we understand this makes life a lot easier and make allowances for siblings. We suggest that the older sibling join the younger sibling so that both students are able for their classes.
