Joel F
Engaging Drums tutor
Hello my name is Joel, and I have been playing drums and guitar for 20+ years. I started my musical journey at the age of 2 and self-taught drums until the age of 7 and then from the age of 7 I began taking music to the next level with advancing with drums.

Professional Drums Tutor - Progressive, Bespoke Lessons
Lessons with me are not your standard fare.The first thing we'll do is establish what music you're into, what styles you'd like to play in, and explore the ways of learning that work for you, not me. I don't use a template, and no 2 clients will ever have the same lesson - what you'll get from me is exclusive and bespoke tuition.Like many musicians, I have an understanding and empathy for neurodivergence, as well as extensive personal and professional experience working with it!After years as a classical music scholar, I went on to study drums at Drumtech.

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 loves drums but we're worried it's a distraction from their A-Levels at a competitive Guildford school. How can a tutor help?
We hear this a lot from parents in Guildford. A great tutor does more than teach technique; they build discipline, focus, and time management. They can help frame drumming as a constructive outlet that complements academic work, rather than competing with it, building skills that are valuable for university applications.
With the ACM in Guildford, the standard for drumming feels incredibly high. Can a tutor help my child prepare for a potential music college audition?
Absolutely. Many of our specialist tutors have experience preparing students for auditions for music colleges and universities. They can work on everything from technical proficiency and performance skills to music theory, giving your child structured support to reach that next level from your home in Guildford.
Is online drums tutoring as effective as learning in person?
Many students find it even more effective. With multiple camera angles, clear audio, and the ability to record parts of the lesson for practice, online tutoring is incredibly focused. Plus, your child can learn from the comfort of home in Guildford, giving them access to the best specialist drum tutors from anywhere in the UK, not just who happens to live nearby.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Drums tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first lesson isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor. It's that simple.
Do your online tutors understand the academic environment in Guildford?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many have experience supporting students from highly academic schools. They understand the pressure of exams like GCSEs and A-Levels and can help your child balance their creative pursuits with their academic responsibilities, making them a more rounded candidate for top universities.
My child is also interested in music production. Do you offer tutoring for that too?
Yes, we do. Beyond instrument tuition, we have expert tutors who can help with music theory, composition, and music production software. It’s a great way for your child to explore their creativity further and see where their passion for music can lead.
What equipment does my child need for online drum lessons?
Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a device like a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. The tutor will guide you on the best setup for clear video and sound.
How do you ensure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a rigorous selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All tutors are identity and background checked, and their qualifications are verified to ensure they are experts in their field.
How much do online Drums tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can we get help with music theory and reading sheet music for drums?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can create lessons that focus specifically on music theory, sight-reading, and understanding drum notation. This is a vital part of becoming a well-rounded musician and is often a key component of graded exams.
How flexible is scheduling? My child has a lot of other commitments.
Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions that fit around school, sports, and family life. Many tutors offer lessons during evenings and weekends.
What equipment does my child need for online drum lessons?
It's a fantastic way to start! A one-to-one online tutor can give a beginner their undivided attention, ensuring they build a strong foundation with correct technique from the very first lesson. It's a supportive, confidence-building environment to begin their musical journey.
