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.

Absolutely. The discipline and focus required to master an instrument are fantastic for academic study. Furthermore, a tutor can guide your child through graded exams. Achieving Grade 6 or higher provides UCAS points, which strengthens university applications and demonstrates a long-term commitment that colleges value.
