More Than Just Noise: Why Learning The Drums Matters
Learning the drums is about so much more than just keeping time. It builds discipline, focus, and incredible coordination. For your child, mastering complex paradiddles or nailing a tricky rhythm is a huge confidence boost. These skills aren't just for the stage; they're valuable in all areas of life. Pursuing grades with examining bodies like Rockschool can also provide formal qualifications that are recognised by universities and creative industries, opening doors to music college or a future career in the arts.

Engaging Drums tutor
Hello my name is Joel, and I have been playing drums and guitar for 20+ years. I started my musical journey at the age of 2 and self-taught drums until the age of 7 and then from the age of 7 I began taking music to the next level with advancing with drums.

Jack D
Professional Drums Tutor - Progressive, Bespoke Lessons
Lessons with me are not your standard fare.The first thing we'll do is establish what music you're into, what styles you'd like to play in, and explore the ways of learning that work for you, not me. I don't use a template, and no 2 clients will ever have the same lesson - what you'll get from me is exclusive and bespoke tuition.Like many musicians, I have an understanding and empathy for neurodivergence, as well as extensive personal and professional experience working with it!After years as a classical music scholar, I went on to study drums at Drumtech. Since graduating from there, I’ve been p...

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.
