Drum Kit & Percussion (Ages 5+)

About this activity

Rock, pop, jazz, and world rhythm taught on the full drum kit in soundproofed practice rooms — a genuine consideration for a percussion instrument, since it means neighbouring lessons and students aren't competing with drum noise bleeding through walls. Rockschool and Trinity graded syllabuses are available for students who want formal progression, covering everyone from complete beginners learning their first beats through to advanced players. Sessions run Tuesday, Thursday afternoons, and Saturday mornings; a free trial is available.

What to expect from music classes

Music lessons in the UAE are available as private one-on-one tuition (30–60 minutes) or small group classes (3–6 students, 45–60 minutes). Private lessons focus on individual technique and are ideal for beginners building foundational skills. Group lessons develop ensemble awareness and cost roughly half the price. Many academies follow ABRSM or Trinity curricula, providing internationally recognised grade examinations that mark structured progress from Grade 1 to Grade 8.

What to look for when choosing a provider

• Teachers with formal music education degrees and experience teaching children
• A recognised curriculum such as ABRSM, Trinity, or Suzuki that provides structured progression
• Regular recital and performance opportunities — at minimum once per term
• Well-maintained instruments in the studio, particularly for piano instruction
• Flexible scheduling that allows consistent weekly attendance
