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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about starting secondary school in rugby. How can drums lessons really help with their confidence?
It's a huge step, and we understand that worry completely. Learning an instrument like the drums provides a tangible skill they can be proud of. Mastering a beat or playing a song gives them a real sense of achievement that's separate from schoolwork. This creative outlet can be a fantastic way to build self-esteem and help them find their place amongst new peers.
All their friends are forming bands. Can a tutor help my child catch up so they don't feel left behind?
Absolutely. A one-to-one tutor can create a personalised plan to help your child learn the fundamentals quickly and effectively. They can focus on the exact skills needed to play along with others, building their confidence so they feel ready and excited to join in, rather than feeling like they're on the sidelines.
Is online drums tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Yes, and it has some unique advantages! With online lessons, tutors can use multiple camera angles to show close-ups of hand and foot techniques. Sessions can also be recorded, so your child can re-watch and practise tricky parts. Plus, it brings the best tutors from across the UK right to your home in rugby, without any travel time.
Do we need to own a full acoustic drum kit to start lessons?
Not at all. Many students start with a simple practice pad and sticks, which are very affordable. Others use an electronic drum kit, which is much quieter for home use. Your child's tutor can offer expert advice on the best setup for your space and budget.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first drums tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee to ensure you do. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are qualified and safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety and quality of learning are our top priorities. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also passionate and effective teachers.
How much do online drums lessons typically cost for a student in rugby?
Our tutors set their own prices, generally starting from around £20 per hour. You can browse the profiles of available drums tutors to see their individual rates, experience, and reviews from other parents, helping you find the perfect match for your budget and your child's needs.
My child's schedule is already packed. How flexible are the lessons?
We know how busy family life is! That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule lessons at times that suit you – evenings, weekends, whenever works best. You're not tied to a local music school's fixed timetable, giving you complete flexibility.
We're focusing on drums now, but do you offer academic subjects for when they start their GCSEs?
We do. We offer expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science right through to languages and coding. We're here to support your child through every stage of their education.
Can learning the drums help with their academic work at all?
Surprisingly, yes! Learning an instrument like the drums has been shown to improve concentration, discipline, and even mathematical understanding through rhythm and counting. It's a fantastic way to develop transferable skills that benefit them across all their studies.
How long will it be before my child can play a full song?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the goal of one-to-one tuition is to make progress feel achievable and motivating. A great tutor will often start by breaking down a simple, fun song your child loves, so they can feel a sense of accomplishment right from the first few lessons.
How much do online drums lessons typically cost for a student in rugby?
Many of our tutors are both! We have a wide range of tutors, including professional session drummers, music graduates, and experienced teachers. You can read their detailed bios to find someone whose experience and style is the perfect fit for your child.
