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 passionate about drums, but we're worried about the high standards for places like the RWCMD. Can an online tutor help?

Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors shine. We can connect your child with tutors who have experience preparing students for conservatoire-level auditions. They can focus specifically on the technical skills, sight-reading, and versatility required, giving your child in Cardiff the specialist guidance they need to stand out.

Can a tutor help my child prepare for auditions for competitive school bands in Cardiff?

Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced performers who know what it takes to succeed in an audition. They can work with your child on their chosen pieces, improve their sight-reading, and build their confidence so they can perform at their best when it counts, whether for a school like Cardiff High or a county ensemble.

How can an online tutor from elsewhere in the UK understand the specific needs of a student in Cardiff?

Musical ambition is universal, and our tutors are experts at understanding a student's individual goals, wherever they are. By focusing on your child's specific aims – whether that's acing a grade, getting into a certain band, or preparing for university auditions – the tutor provides tailored support that's relevant to their personal journey, not their postcode.

Is online drum tutoring really effective? I'm worried they won't be able to see technique properly.

It's a common question, and the answer is yes, it's incredibly effective. Tutors use high-quality cameras and can ask students to position their device to get clear views of stick grip, posture, and footwork. The one-to-one focus often means they can spot and correct technical issues even more effectively than in a group setting. It combines expert guidance with the comfort of learning at home.

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

It's so important that your child and their tutor get along. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if it doesn't feel like the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

What equipment does my child need for an online drum lesson?

Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a pair of sticks, and a device like a laptop or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection. Some students also find headphones useful to hear their tutor clearly over the sound of the drums.

Are your tutors qualified to teach formal grades, like Rockschool or Trinity?

Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in preparing students for formal music grades. You can check each tutor's profile to see which exam boards they specialise in and discuss your child's specific grade ambitions with them directly.

How do you vet your tutors to ensure they're safe and experienced?

We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to assess their expertise and teaching ability. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How much do online drum lessons for a student in Cardiff cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can browse tutors' profiles to find one whose rates fit your budget.

Can we find a tutor who specialises in a specific genre, like jazz or metal?

Of course. That's one of the biggest advantages of online tutoring. Your child in Cardiff can connect with a specialist from anywhere in the UK. You can use the filters on our search page to find tutors who are experts in the specific style of music your child loves.

Does Tutorful offer tutoring for other subjects besides music?

We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths, English and Science to languages, coding, and other creative skills. Whatever your child is passionate about, we're here to help them learn.

Are your tutors qualified to teach formal grades, like Rockschool or Trinity?

Very flexible. You can arrange lesson times directly with your chosen tutor. Because there's no travel involved, it's much easier to fit sessions around school, sports, and other family activities. Many tutors offer evenings and weekends to suit busy schedules.
