At Knoxville Academy of Music, we offer drum lesson rooms equipped with state-of-the-art electric and acoustic drum kits for students to use during lessons.

Our experienced drum instructors teach a variety of styles, including rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues, and more. Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or an advanced drummer refining your technique, our lessons are designed to challenge and inspire.

Personalized Drum Instruction

We understand that every student has unique goals and learning styles. That’s why our instructors take the time to get to know you on a personal level, tailoring each lesson to suit your musical interests and experience. A 9-year-old beginner will have a different lesson plan than a 57-year-old revisiting drumming after years away.
