Birmingham School of Music

Birmingham's largest private music school - drum school heritage

• Curriculum focused on fundamentals and music reading

Experience

Drum-school heritage means percussion is a strength here. Reading-skills focus makes it a good fit for kids who want to play in school band, jazz ensemble, or church groups - the foundational literacy translates. Strong fit for committed students; not the right place for casual once-in-a-while format.
