FAQs for all instruments 

Do I need my own instruments? 

Yes, your own voice is easy! Your own guitar is best to be acoustic for beginners and of course an acoustic Ukulele. Drum kits are both acoustic OR electric. Both options are suitable. Electric kits take up less space, can be played in headphones for quiet practice if you want to keep the volume down, but need additional amplification via a speaker to be heard without headphones. This is required for online lessons. In some cases beginners drumming lessons can start with just a practice pad and drum sticks ! With purchase of a Drum Kit later. This may suit very young drummers! 

I don't have a drum kit or guitar but I am thinking about getting one to start. What is the best option? 

Let us know your budget, space and noise limits and we can point you in the most suitable and best value direction or maybe a good second hand instrument that has just come onto the market. 

Where do I get tracks and teaching material from for myself or my child?

Your tutor will periodically send you exercises, audio tracks and sheet music where relevant and if you are working on Grade exams or GCSEs, you will be required to buy the relevant books and sheet music for your exam pieces from either Trinity or Rock School
