Why Do We Only Offer Adult Drum Lessons?

At J Music, we are on a mission to teach adults how to play the drums they have always longed for.


  • Do you feel shy about learning alongside children in music schools?
  • Do you think you are too old to play the drums?
  • Do you believe you can’t learn the drums without any musical background?

We offer a customised drumming experience specifically designed for working adults and retirees.

Whether you are pursuing long-held dreams, seeking to slow down ageing, or aiming to prevent dementia, we make it possible for you to achieve your desires and become the drummer you have always wanted to be.

Imagine a drum school where you are surrounded by like-minded adults who share your love for drumming.

Our students come from diverse backgrounds, such as medical professionals, civil servants, directors, accountants, managers, educators, and many more.

We understand that many adults feel self-conscious about learning alongside children.

That is why we have created a welcoming and comforting environment for working adults and retirees where they can find a sense of belonging and truly feel at home.

Say goodbye to feeling out of place and hello to a community that celebrates your musical aspirations.

JMusic_Adult_Drum_Lessons_Founder_Jason_Ng_2

Hello, I’m Jason, the founder of J Music, Singapore’s only drum school for adults. We specialise in teaching adults to play the drums they have always longed for.

I began teaching drums in a music school over a decade and a half ago as a way to supplement my income while studying.

I noticed a gap in the drum education industry after two years on the job.

There were no drum schools solely dedicated to teaching adults, as most schools focused on children.

I realised that adults have different learning needs and desired a more flexible curriculum, along with the opportunity to play songs outside of lessons.

Many adults felt uncomfortable attending classes dominated by children.

Inspired by this gap, I founded J Music, Singapore’s first adult-only drum school.

My goal is to make drumming a part of every adult’s life, regardless of age or musical background.

The “J” in J Music stands for Jason, reflecting my personal commitment to spreading the love of drums to adults.

Testimonials

Here is what our students have to say about their experience with us:

Gong Xue

Assistant Professor

Since this Jan 2021 I joined J Music for adult drum lessons, I have to say this is the most pleasant experience I have had so far in a local music school. My instructor Jason is super patient, kind and professional. He can always spot the hiccups and inconsistencies. And he’s very dedicated to good quality music education. If you are looking for progress, I am very proud to say J Music is the one you are looking for.
JMusic_Adult_Drum_Lessons_Testimonial_PengHong
Peng Hong

Business Coach

I’m 62 years old, I’ve been with J Music for three years, and I’m still learning from Jason. Jason is a very experienced drum instructor who is flexible to my progress and song preferences. He is strict and expects high standards, but he encourages me to keep going. His lessons are systematic and effective. If you’re looking for a high-quality drumming instructor, I’d certainly recommend him.

CK

General Practitioner

Jason is a good teacher. He has a good ear, and is able to pick up flaws in my playing very quickly, and correct them with simple methods. Age is no barrier to learning how to play the drum. We progress at our own paces, but with every lesson, you will get better and more proficient. I am able to drum along to many of my favourite songs now.

Kam

CFO

As a 64-year-old student, I would describe the initial journey as “sweet and sour.” But now I can play 22 songs as well as one song (by Beyond) that I specifically requested from Jason, my trainer. J Music’s video recordings are one of the good values they offer. Every time I record a video, it improves my drumming skills. Playing the drums is now a part of my life.
