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 premier adult-only drum school. We specialise in teaching adults the drums they have always longed to play while supporting them in achieving a healthy work-life balance.
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.
