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.
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.

Drum Insights
Can Adults Learn to Play the Drums?
With the right attitude, an experienced instructor, and a proven curriculum, adults can not only learn to play the drums; they can also excel and play better than children. But how exactly?
Trinity Drum Exams
While 90% of adult students have no desire to take the drum exams, our stellar drum exam record ensures that the remaining 10% are well taken care of should they feel compelled to take the Trinity drum exams to meet their self-actualisation needs.
Our outstanding and qualified instructors will guide you through the process of achieving excellent results while keeping the experience enjoyable and relaxing.
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.
