A Creative Partnership for Your Young Drummer

The right partnership starts with understanding. Your child's tutor will take the time to discover the music that excites them, the styles they want to master, and their ultimate goals. Are they aiming for a specific grade, or building a portfolio for an application? Together, they'll create a plan that feels less like a series of lessons and more like a creative project they are building together, session by session. Imagine lessons where they aren't just practising rudiments, but are deconstructing their favourite tracks, learning improvisation, and recording performance pieces. This is a hands-on, collaborative process. The tutor acts as a mentor, offering technical feedback and creative encouragement to help your child develop their own unique voice on the instrument. It’s this tailored approach that helps them make tangible progress and feel proud of what they're creating. Because it’s all online, this specialist support fits right into your family’s life in Exeter. There's no travel, no stress—just access to top-tier music mentors from across the UK, right from your home. This flexibility means your child can connect with a tutor who truly specialises in their area of interest, giving them a genuine advantage. It's the support they need, on a schedule that works for you.

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 wants to apply for a competitive arts course at Exeter College. Can a tutor help build a strong portfolio?

Absolutely. This is a perfect goal to work on with a tutor. They can act as a mentor, helping your child select, refine, and record performance pieces that showcase their technical skill and musicality, creating a portfolio that truly stands out for applications to places like Exeter College.

My child doesn't attend an independent school with specialist facilities. Can online tutoring help them compete?

Yes, this is precisely where online tutoring can level the playing field. It gives your child access to specialist mentors from across the UK—tutors who might be professional session musicians or graduates from top music colleges. It provides the expert, one-to-one guidance that builds skills and confidence, regardless of which school they attend in Exeter.

Is online drum tutoring actually effective? How does it work for a practical instrument?

It’s surprisingly effective! Tutors often use multi-camera setups to show technique from different angles, and high-quality audio ensures every beat is clear. They can share sheet music, tabs, and backing tracks on-screen instantly. It's a focused, interactive way for your child to learn from the comfort of their own drum kit at home.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Drums tutor?

Finding the right mentor is everything, and we understand that. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. We're here to help you find the perfect match.

How do you ensure your Drums tutors are qualified and safe to work with?

We take this very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply. They are all background-checked and have their ID and qualifications verified, so you can have complete peace of mind.

What equipment does my child need for online drum lessons?

Your child will need their own drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Placing the device where the tutor can clearly see your child's hands and posture is key.

How much do online Drums tutors for students in Exeter cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and background. You can browse tutor profiles and filter by price to find the perfect fit for your budget, with no hidden fees.

Can tutoring help a complete beginner?

Definitely! One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way for a beginner to start. A tutor can ensure they develop good habits and proper technique right from the first lesson, building a solid foundation and keeping them motivated as they learn.

How flexible are the lesson times?

Very. Because our tutors are based all over the UK, you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can arrange sessions that fit perfectly around your family's busy schedule in Exeter, whether it's after school or on a Sunday morning.

How will I know if my child is making real progress?

Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll also see it for yourself—in their growing confidence, their excitement to practise, and the complexity of the pieces they are able to play. For portfolio work, you'll have tangible recordings that show their improvement over time.

Does Tutorful offer tutoring for other creative subjects?

Yes, we do. Beyond Drums, we have expert tutors for a huge range of subjects, including Music Theory, Guitar, Singing, and even Music Production. It's a great way to support all of your child's creative interests in one place.

How much do online Drums tutors for students in Exeter cost?

That's a fantastic goal. Many of our tutors are experienced performers themselves and can help your child with everything from building a setlist to managing performance anxiety. They can provide the skills and confidence your child needs to take their drumming from the practice room to the stage.
