You don't have to figure it out alone. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they want to achieve. We then match them with the right person to get them started. Even when you can’t teach them yourself, you can still help them find their rhythm.

Find a tutor Mariel M
Mariel is a good and patient teacher. She explains things well and the lessons run at the students pace. I progressed quickly as we worked on both grade pieces and drum rudimentals/technical exercises.
When I had technical difficulties during a lesson, Mariel was patient and worked around the issue. Mariel was very helpful and we covered a lot of content in a few weeks.
I highly recommend Mariel as a drum teacher to new students.
