How Drum Lessons Work at Musicologie
Drums are a fun, active, and engaging instrument. It’s a great instrument for beginners of any age because you can start banging along to your favorite songs immediately. And getting started is easy: you just need a pair of drums sticks and a practice pad. We have drum students as young as three years old, but we offer lessons for beginning adults or advanced players too.
Drum Lessons for Kids and Very Young Beginners
We often suggest drums as a perfect beginning instrument for young students. Don't worry - you can get quiet electronic drums! Drums are fun, exciting, and relatively easy to learn for children. With our tailored curriculum and approach, young drummers can develop their skills and enjoy success from the very beginning. For older kids, we offer more comprehensive instruction, using traditional methods such as Alfred's Drum Method. Whether your child is a beginner or advanced, we are committed to providing engaging and enjoyable drum lessons that cultivate a lifelong love of music.
Drum Lessons for Adult Beginners
Drums have become a popular choice among adult beginners seeking music lessons. The drums offer a unique and energetic experience, allowing adults to tap into their musical aspirations. If you're an adult looking to explore the world of drumming, you likely have specific goals in mind. Whether you aspire to learn a particular song, prepare for an open mic performance, or simply explore the instrument without a specific direction, we are here to support you at every stage of your drumming journey. Our experienced instructors will guide you with personalized instruction, ensuring that your drumming experience is fulfilling, enjoyable, and tailored to your individual aspirations and preferences.
Drum Lessons for Advanced Players
If you're an advanced drummer, you're well aware of your specific areas for improvement and what you need to focus on. Overcoming plateaus requires guidance from someone who has experienced similar challenges. Many intermediate and advanced drummers who seek our instruction often require assistance with music theory and note reading. They may be gearing up for crucial auditions or performances that demand a high level of skill and preparation. Rest assured, we have faced those same auditions and performances ourselves and possess the expertise to provide the guidance you need. Our instructors are equipped with the knowledge and experience to help you navigate these hurdles and achieve your musical goals with confidence.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Musicologie! Both of our students are taking piano lessons, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress they’ve made. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly invested in helping each student build both skill and confidence. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the lessons are always tailored to meet each child’s unique learning style. We’re so grateful for the positive impact Musicologie has had on our children’s musical journey!

First lesson felt right. I am wanting to learn an instrument without creating bad habits that would need to undo. We started with the basics using all the elements of the instrument to get comfortable with the mechanisms while keeping the music simple. Instructor was able to answer any and all questions and was very encouraging.

My daughter had her first cello lesson/assessment with Rosa. It went very well and she really likes Rosa. We signed up her weekly lessons right after her first lesson! Rosa also sent the lesson notes through an email which is wonderful! I am glad we found this studio!

As an adult, I came to Musicologie with no playing background, just a love of music and a desire to learn. The piano was a perfect instrument to discover the joy of "making" music, and the intricacies of how notes and chords fit together in theory. My teacher (Kay) is the most patient instructor and so attuned to the adult learner's needs. She was always willing to entertain my theory inquiries all the while keeping me on task for moving forward in the practical skills around playing. I looked forward to each lesson with her guiding, stretching, and attending to my growth. I can't say enough, or recommend highly enough Musicologie, and taking the leap with them into learning a new instrument and the gratification music brings the soul.

I have had an amazing journey learning guitar with Jeremy. As an adult I was worried my 30 years of plunking out the same 3 chords would mean that I would struggle. Jeremy listened to what I wanted to achieve, and then helped me to learn and grow at my own speed. He was creative, encouraging, and always pushed just hard enough to help me get over those inevitable humps in muscle memory learning. I give Musicologie my highest recommendation, and encourage you to explore your musical journey. Thane Thompson

Our Philosophy Of Education
We are driven by a set of unifying principles that guide every lesson, every class, and every interaction.
We Start Early
Research shows the earlier you start, the more lifetime benefits you receive from studying music.
We Teach Life Skills
Music is awesome! It teaches so many things: emotional intelligence, discipline, self-awareness, motor skills, dexterity and more.
We Teach the Process of Learning
We focus on the process rather than the product, facilitating discovery rather than dictating information. We teach how to learn, not just what to learn.
Our Responsibility
We know a student's success is our responsibility. It's our job to make lessons engaging, fun, and easy to be excited about.
We Believe in Immersion + Exploration
All our lessons and classes are experiential and immersive, fun and exciting!
We Assume Good Intentions
We grow the trust, mutual respect and confidence of our students by assuming good intentions from everyone.
We Encourage Mistakes
Making mistakes is what learning is. You try something, make mistakes, and try again. We encourage mistakes so our students are excited to take risks and try new things.

Frequently Asked Questions
We want you to have total confidence that Musicologie Lewis Center is the right place for you or your child to start, or continue your musical journey. So we've collected the most frequently asked questions about our music lessons, our programs, and what it's like learning music at Musicologie.
What is the Musicologie Method™?
The Musicologie Method™ is rooted in two things: a safe environment, and education through play. Research tells us these two elements are key components of the way everyone learns, from kids through adults.
In music lessons, a safe environment means a place where you feel free to be who you are, encouraged to play the music you enjoy, and excited to try new things. Education through play means having fun playing your instrument! That's why it's called playing music! We use games and strategies to help our music students make serious progress while enjoying the process.
What ages does Musicologie teach?
We teach all ages. Many of our students are between the ages of 5 and 12, but we teach toddlers and we teach many adults, too! Our toddler music class is called Musicologie Junior and starts at 6 months. Private lessons start at 5. We also have a rock band class called Rockstars where students ages 7+ learn to be rock stars and play at local venues!
We also have member workshops, open mics, and concerts for all our students, including adults! At Musicologie Lewis Center, not only can you learn an instrument from an amazing, friendly, certified teacher, but you can meet other musicians and join a community of music explorers!
How do I sign up for lessons?
Get started here by answering a few questions. We'll match you with a teacher and find a time that works for ongoing lessons. The first lesson is called an assessment lesson.
What's a lesson membership?
A lesson membership is how you sign up for your weekly lesson or class at Musicologie. Your membership fee is billed monthly. The price depends on which lessons or classes you're enrolled in.
Can I do lessons every other week?
Sure, we offer drop-in lessons for students who can't commit to a weekly lesson.
What if I start in the middle of the month?
You will be charged a prorated amount for the remaining days in the month and then you’ll go into our automated system and be billed on the 1st of each month for the upcoming month.
How do I withdraw from lessons?
To withdraw from lessons, you must give 30 days advance notice by filling out our online exit form. This is the only way to withdraw. Contact us for the exit form.
What curriculum does Musicologie use?
We know that you'll stay more engaged by learning music you love and you'll grow faster by using what you've learned in your lessons in performances. We'll take our own Musicologie Method, along with traditional method books like Suzuki, Alfred's, Faber, etc., and combine that with contemporary music you're excited about with the goal of performing in one of our ensembles, group classes, or at one of our concerts.
Do I need my own instrument?
Not for your first lesson. We have instruments at our studios you can use for the first few lessons. But after that you'll want to get your own instrument for practice at home. Your teacher will help you pick out the right one. We also have open practice hours so you can come in and use instruments and practice rooms at Musicologie during the week.
If you do have your own instrument, you should definitely bring it with you, as long as it's easily portable - leave your piano and drums at home
What's an Assessment lesson?
An assessment lesson is what we call your first lesson. Don't worry, it's not a test! You'll come in, meet your teacher, talk about your goals, go through our policies and develop an individual curriculum. Every student does it regardless of age or ability. For very young students, an assessment is also a chance to see if they're ready for private lessons.
What are Musicologie's prices?
Each of our studios may have different prices, so get started here to learn more!
Can I reschedule a lesson if I can't come?
Of course! Here's how it works:
Log into your account at Musicologie.com
Find the lesson you want to change and select 'cancel' or 'reschedule' at least 24 hours before the lesson. Musicologie Junior and Accelerated Labs can be canceled or rescheduled up to 30 minutes before the class.
The canceled lesson will remain in your account to reschedule at any point in the future.
If you withdraw from lessons, you can no longer reschedule any lessons you cancelled.
If you re-enroll, any previously cancelled lessons will still be available in your account.
How do I pay for lessons?
When you sign up for lessons, your credit card or debit card will be automatically debited a flat fee each month on the 1st of the month. To withdraw, you need to provide us with 30-days notice by filling out a withdrawal form. Contact your teacher for the form.
Does Musicologie offer refunds?
Musicologie cannot offer refunds for any missed or unused lessons.
