Percussion lessons in Bogotá, at home and online
Percussion is music's rhythmic heart and includes much more than the drum kit: congas, bongos, cajón, timbales and Colombian drums such as the tambora, llamador and caja vallenata. Lessons develop a steady beat, coordination between hands and feet, and rhythms from rock and pop to salsa, cumbia and vallenato. You can focus on the drum kit or hand percussion, at home in Bogotá and the surrounding area or online.

When can you start?
From age 5
To guide, children can explore minor percussion from the age of 5 with tools to suit them, and the battery usually starts about 6 or 7 years old, when they reach their pedals and coordinate better hands and feet, with batteries of a junior size. Each child advances different and for his or her youngest musical initiation It's a great entrance door. Adults can start at any age, and playing rhythms with other people is most gratifying.
What do you need to start with?
- A sound or electronic battery, or a practice pad if you're starting.
- Ginger pads that recommend your teacher.
- Metronome (can be an application) and hearing protection if you play acoustic batteries.
- For virtual classes: stable and a camera with hands and feet.

Questions about percussion lessons
Do I have to have a drummer at home to have a class?
To start with, you can start with a pat of practice and pat to work with technical and rudiments, and then add an acoustic or electronic battery. If you're going to have an at-home battery class, the ideal thing to have at-home instrument.
Acoustic or electronic batteries: what's appropriate?
Acoustic offers an actual response and sound but requires space and generates a great deal of volume. Electronics allows us to practice with hearing aids and to control the volume, something very useful in an apartment. To learn both they serve and your teacher guides you according to your space and your aims.
What do you learn about percussion and about the battery?
According to your interests, classes can include minor percussion as conga, bongos, drawer, timbal or guacharaca. That greatly amplifies your rhythmic vocabulary and serves you even if your main goal is drums. Tell your teacher what styles and tools call your attention to focusing the class plan.
Can we have virtual battery classes?
Yes, especially for technique, rudiments, reading and co-ordination with an electronic pad or an electronic battery. with an acoustic battery the sound can saturate the microphone, so it's best to put the device away or adjust its input volume. If you doubt, compare formats with home or virtual classes.
