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 goes to school in Long Eaton and we're worried their drumming won't stand out on university applications against students with more 'academic' extracurriculars. Can you help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for parents, and it's where a great tutor can make a huge difference. They can help your child work through formal graded syllabuses like Rockschool or Trinity, turning their passion into a qualification that carries real weight on a UCAS application. It shows universities dedication, discipline, and a creative skill set.
Can a tutor help my child prepare a portfolio or audition piece for a competitive music course at a university like Nottingham?
Yes, many of our drum tutors are experienced performers and educators who specialise in audition and performance preparation. They can help your child choose the right pieces, refine their technique, and build the confidence to perform at their best, giving them a significant advantage in a competitive application process.
Is online drum tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Many students find it even more effective. Online lessons allow for multiple camera angles so your child can see techniques up close. Sessions can often be recorded for them to review later, and most importantly, it gives your Long Eaton-based child access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who happen to live nearby.
What if my child doesn't click with the first drum tutor we try?
It's really important that your child has a great relationship with their tutor. 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.
Do we need a full acoustic drum kit at home for online lessons?
Not at all. Many students start and progress very far using an electronic drum kit, which is often more practical for home use. Even a simple practice pad can be sufficient for working on fundamental techniques like rudiments and timing. Your tutor can advise on the best setup for your space and budget.
Are your tutors qualified to teach graded syllabuses?
Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience preparing students for graded exams from providers like Rockschool, Trinity, and RSL Awards. You can check each tutor's profile to see which syllabuses they specialise in and discuss your child's goals with them directly.
How do you ensure tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, ensuring your child learns from trusted, high-calibre professionals. It’s why over 4,100 people have rated us 4.6/5 stars.
How much do online drum lessons for a student in Long Eaton cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget.
My child is also interested in music production. Do you have tutors for that?
We do! We believe in nurturing all aspects of a child's creativity. Alongside instrumental lessons, we have expert tutors in music technology, production, songwriting, and theory, as well as a huge range of academic subjects to support their schoolwork.
How long does a typical online drum lesson last?
The most common lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to warm up, work on new techniques, and review progress. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor – from 30 minutes for younger learners to 90 minutes for advanced students.
What technology do we need for online lessons to work smoothly?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Your tutor will guide you on the best way to position the camera so they can see your child's playing clearly.
How do you ensure tutors are safe and professional?
Progress is unique to every child, but with focused, one-to-one attention, they often make strides much faster than in a group setting. The goal is consistent improvement and growing confidence, whether that's mastering their first song or passing their next grade.
