I've been playing the drums for twenty years and teaching for over five. I believe that learning a musical instrument should be enjoyable and satisfying - but - like anything worthwhile, it can be hard work and there are no short cuts to learning to play well.
But you'll like it when you can do it! In fact there is no feeling quite like the one you get when you make progress because you've worked and persevered at something.
I offer tuition in a wide range of drumming styles and can prepare you for formal grade exams if that's your thing.
How it works......
I travel to you providing individual tuition on your drum-kit in your own home
Happy to teach pupils from seven years old and upwards - though it's never too late to learn!
