| Hey, Mateo, I'm so glad I ran into you. |
| I've been meaning to ask you about the drum lessons you've been taking. |
| Right now, I'm trying to decide between hiring a private tutor |
| and enrolling in online video lessons. |
| Actually, I'm self-taught. |
| But, um, one of my neighbors had lessons at Heart Music Academy, |
| and they offer in-person lessons for $35 per half hour |
| or $60 per hour. |
| Another option is DrumeoProf online school. |
| They have online courses designed for all skill levels and topics at a fraction of the cost. |
| The second option is a lot more affordable. |
| Thanks for your advice. |
| I will look into both options. |
| By the way, I downloaded a list of equipment I might need. |
| Could you give me some advice? |
| Sure, let me take a look. |
| Well, a beginner like you needs only the first three items. |
| You may choose to buy the rest once you've committed to the instrument. |
| Thanks. I'll do just that. |
