Individual lessons are the cornerstone on which AR2 Drumming Studio was founded. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience providing bespoke instruction, we discover what motivates the student then work together to devise a personalized plan for achievement.
Lesson offerings include instruction for pipe band snare, tenor, and bass drum. Each of these is available to students and players of all levels from total beginner through seasoned professional. Pipers wishing to learn about rhythm and ensemble are also welcome.
