Drum Lessons in Orange

It's great to start at a young age!  Have you ever wondered why it's so easy for young children to learn more than one language?  Yamaha introduces music fundamentals to children at the time when their hearing capabilities are developing rapidly.

Drum Programs at Music Maker are offered for students from 5 years old to adults. Young beginners (5 to 6) are evaluated for readiness.  Students will learn multiple styles including: from Rudimental Drumming to Classical, from Rock and Jazz, to Latin drum set styles.  Lessons will focus on musical literacy, technique, music theory (rhythm, scales, and chords), as well as developing a vocabulary for basic and advanced drumming rudiments, ensemble and solo performance, and applying popular music to percussion.  

Drum classes at Music Maker are enhanced by the multiple performing opportunities to showcase a solo performance in a recital or jam with other musicians, including a rock band.

Trees and shaded turf areas provide a serene setting for leisure activities. Santiago Creek bisects the park and a pond with stone-work waterfall and foot bridge is located in the center of the park. The variety of landscape greatly enhances the park's beauty. Remember to visit the OC Zoo inside the park.1 Irvine Park Road Orange, CA 92869
