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