Learning the drums isn't just about making noise; it's an exercise in discipline, focus, and creative expression.

Phil M
Professional Drums tutor
I am a self employed professional drummer who currently teaches 1-1 students of all ages regularly at my rehearsal space in Liverpool, where there is a full drum kit set up. I also teach secondary school students weekly at St Julie's school in Liverpool. I try to ensure the lessons are fun and rewarding for students by learning songs they enjoy playing, but also focusing on fundamental techniques and rudiments. I can teach the rock & pop and/or trinity syllabus if required. In my own drumming, I currently play and record with a variety of artists including Bill Ryder-Jones (formerly of The Coral),...

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 attends a competitive Harrogate school. How can drums really help their UCAS application for a Russell Group university?

It’s a great question. With so many students from schools like Harrogate Grammar and St Aidan's achieving top A-Level grades, a high-grade musical skill like drums demonstrates discipline, long-term commitment, and creativity. It makes their application more memorable and shows a well-rounded character, which is something admissions tutors really value.

Are your tutors familiar with the pressure students in Harrogate face?

Many of our tutors have experience supporting students with ambitious goals. They understand the need to balance demanding academic work with other pursuits and can help your child structure their practice effectively, turning drumming into a rewarding outlet rather than another source of stress.

Is online drums tutoring as effective as in-person? I'm worried about the technical side.

Absolutely. With a simple setup (usually just a webcam), tutors can clearly see and hear your child play. They can demonstrate techniques, provide instant feedback, and use digital resources to make lessons engaging. It also gives your Harrogate-based child access to a wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK than would be available locally.

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

Finding the right personality match is key. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if it doesn't feel like the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor to ensure you find someone your child gets on with.

What equipment will my child need for online drum lessons?

Your child will need their own drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a device like a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. The tutor can advise on the best camera angles during the first session to ensure they can see everything they need to.

Are your drums tutors professional musicians?

Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, but many are indeed professional or semi-professional musicians with real-world industry experience and formal qualifications. We vet every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How much do online drums lessons for a student in Harrogate cost?

Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their 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 contracts.

How often should my child have a lesson to prepare for grade exams?

Most students find a weekly one-hour lesson provides the ideal balance of new learning and time for practice. However, this is completely flexible. You and the tutor can work out a schedule that suits your child's goals and fits around their schoolwork and other commitments.

My child has lost a bit of motivation with their drumming. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is where a one-to-one tutor can make a huge difference. They can help your child set exciting new goals, introduce them to different styles of music, or work on a song they love. Reigniting that initial spark is often the first step towards renewed progress and confidence.

We're starting with drums, but do you offer tutoring in academic subjects too?

We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths, English and the Sciences for GCSE and A-Level, to languages, coding, and other creative arts. We're here to support every stage of your child's learning journey.

Can my child learn specific styles, like jazz or rock drumming?

Definitely. The great advantage of our UK-wide network of tutors is the incredible range of specialisms available. You can use the search filters to find a tutor who specialises in the exact style your child is passionate about learning, from rock and pop to jazz and funk.

How much do online drums lessons for a student in Harrogate cost?

Tutors provide regular feedback directly to you and your child. They will discuss progress during lessons and can set clear, achievable targets. Because the lessons are one-to-one, your child gets constant, personalised feedback that helps them understand exactly where they are improving and what to focus on next.
