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's school in Mayfair values traditional instruments. How can a tutor help drumming support their senior school applications?
This is a common concern, and we can absolutely help. An expert tutor will focus on turning your child's passion into demonstrable achievements. They can guide them through formal qualifications like the Rockschool or Trinity grade exams, which are highly respected and show long-term commitment. This reframes drumming from a hobby into a disciplined skill, highlighting creativity, dedication, and a unique talent that will make their application stand out.
Is online drum tutoring as effective as having a tutor in the room?
Yes, and it offers unique advantages. With multiple camera angles, your child gets a clear view of technique, and tutors can provide instant, precise feedback. Lessons can be recorded for your child to review later, which is fantastic for practice. Crucially, it gives your mayfair-london-based child access to the best drum specialists from across the UK, not just whoever happens to be local.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a music scholarship interview at a competitive school?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for auditions and interviews. They can help your child select and perfect performance pieces, develop their music theory knowledge, and practise talking about their passion articulately and confidently. It’s about building the all-round presentation that these schools are looking for.
What if my child doesn't click with the first drums tutor we try?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. We get that. If the first session isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
What equipment does my child need for online drum lessons?
Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Some students find using headphones helps them to hear their tutor and their own playing more clearly. Your tutor can give you specific advice in your first session.
How are your drums tutors vetted?
We're very selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed by our team, and has their qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from a true expert.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring a good place to start?
It's a fantastic place to start! A one-to-one online tutor can give a beginner their full attention, building strong foundations in technique and rhythm from the very first lesson. This prevents bad habits from forming and makes learning feel exciting and achievable right from the off.
Beyond drums, can my child learn other music skills through Tutorful?
Yes, definitely. Many of our drum tutors are also skilled in other areas like music theory, composition, or even music production software. If your child's interests grow, we have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects, from piano and guitar to coding and animation, ready to support their next step.
How do you measure progress in drumming?
Progress can be measured in several ways. Formally, working through the internationally recognised grade systems (like Rockschool or Trinity) provides clear benchmarks. Informally, you'll see it in your child's growing confidence, their ability to tackle more complex pieces, their improved timing, and most importantly, their enjoyment of playing.
How much do online drum lessons for a student in mayfair-london cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find a brilliant match that fits your budget.
How long and frequent should the sessions be?
Most students have a one-hour session once a week, as this provides a great balance of new learning and time for practice in between. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your family's needs, whether that's fortnightly sessions or more frequent lessons before an exam.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring a good place to start?
Yes, this is a key area where a personal tutor can make a huge difference. They create a safe, supportive space for your child to practise performing. They can teach coping strategies and build confidence step-by-step, so when it comes to a real performance or exam, your child feels prepared and ready.
