Dan P
Twelve years experience teaching many instruments. Drums
I am a music teacher living in Welling, having taught piano, guitar and drum kit for more than five years. I also teach bass, composition, theory and offer tuition in general music up to degree level. So far, every single student that I've had take a graded exam has achieved a distinction grade. On top of that, they all greatly enjoy their lessons with me and are always excited to learn new techniques and pieces. I like to think I'm relatable enough to get children to resonate with my teaching, while remaining skilled enough at the instruments I teach to give them the motivation to learn more....

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.
