Offering a wide variety of drum and percussion lessons with one of Winnipeg’s best music teachers. Drum-set and percussion lessons are offered during the day and evenings (Monday to Thursday) and during the day on Saturdays. Our drum and percussion instruction is based on a solid foundation of music reading as well understanding the theoretical concepts of rhythm, counting, meter and time feel.

In our drumset and percussion classes, we work on many styles and concepts. Everything from how to hold the sticks and set up your drums for maximum play-ability to more advanced concepts like open handed playing, odd time signatures, etc. along with musical styles like rock, pop, jazz, blues, Latin, etc.

Drum lessons are available to those 7- adult, beginners and experienced.

Also available are; percussion lessons on some of today’s most popular instruments like Djembe, Cajon and Bodhran.

We have classes on Bodhran (Celtic Drum) Cajon (Rock Box) and Djembe (west African drumming).

With Djembe and Cajon we work on getting all the tones we can out of these deceptively easy instruments. With the Bodhran we learn how to hold the instrument and the tipper.

On all instruments we learn the fundamentals of music so the learning and fun can last for ever.

4worldlovers: Hey! My name is Ben Hodges. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada and I'm a high school physical education teacher. I’ve also been playing drums for close to 20 years now. I play in a few bands (The Bloodshots, JR Charron, Jerry Sereda, and more) and anyone else who needs a drummer.

Like every drummer, their stories are a little bit different on how they became the drummer that they are. Some people go to university to get music degrees, some people go to private lessons, some people invest in online courses and masterclasses, and some people are just completely self taught. And to be honest whichever way works best for you and how you learn is awesome.

I started playing drums when I was 17 years old, and I am a completely self-taught drummer. In fact, all through my school life I played Alto saxophone. It's when I graduated high school is when I picked up my first pair of drumsticks and started learning drums. I never went to university to get a music degree, I never went to get private music lessons on how to play drums. I guess you could say I learned drums the old-fashioned way by watching other drummers, going to concerts, meeting other musicians, and jamming with them, studying, and appreciating lots of music, and like most people nowadays, scouring the Internet to look at great resource is that you can find online already.

With my experiences as a teacher, I feel very confident that I can use my skills and processes that I use at my Physical Education teaching job, and I can apply them directly to my drumming. And no I'm not talking about how to play dodgeball or sports. I'm talking about goal setting, practicing skill development, coaching, mental health and stress management, technique, or even the styles that people learn. I know some people learn best from watching, some people learn best from listening, some people learn best by doing; there's lots of ways that people can learn. I personally find online (nowadays with social media) very overwhelming with how much information there is with regards to drumming and it's hard to decipher which is good information and which is not. Furthermore, drumming has become a unique “sport” with who can drum the fastest or best, and it puts pressure on the definition of what a “good drummer” truly is. This is why BH Drum Academy was created.
