From Practice Room to Performance: Skills for a Future in Music

Mastering the drums is about so much more than keeping a beat. It’s about learning the language of music that opens doors to bands, recording studios, and higher education. A specialist tutor can move beyond basic rudiments, teaching your child how to sit in the pocket of a funk track, drive a rock song, or navigate a complex jazz chart. These are the versatile, real-world skills that make a drummer stand out, turning a passion into a craft ready for Plymouth's vibrant music scene and beyond.

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 wants to audition for the Plymouth Conservatoire. Can a tutor help with specific preparation?

Absolutely. This is a perfect example of how online tutoring can help. We can connect your child with tutors who have experience preparing students for higher education auditions. They can work specifically on audition pieces, sight-reading, and performance techniques to help your child feel confident and prepared.

Our child's school in Plymouth offers music, but it’s not focused on contemporary drumming. Can you help?

Yes, we understand this is a common concern. A school's resources can be spread thinly. Our online tutors can provide that specialist focus, teaching the specific styles and techniques your child is passionate about, whether that's rock, pop, funk or metal, complementing their school learning with targeted skills.

Is online drums tutoring actually effective? I'm worried about the technical side.

It's surprisingly effective! Tutors use multiple camera angles (e.g., overhead and side views) and good quality microphones to see and hear everything clearly. They can share resources, play backing tracks, and provide instant feedback. All your child needs is their drum kit, a laptop or tablet with a webcam, and a stable internet connection.

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

Finding the right mentor is the most important thing, and we get that it might not happen on the first try. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do we find the right online tutor for our child in Plymouth?

You can browse our tutors' profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. You can filter by speciality, such as specific genres or exam board experience. You can even message tutors before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child's goals.

Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality and safety.

How much does online drums tutoring 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 have complete flexibility.

My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable for them?

Definitely. Our tutors love working with beginners! They can guide your child through the absolute basics, from how to hold the sticks correctly to playing their first simple beat, building a solid foundation in a supportive, one-to-one environment.

Can a tutor help my child get ready to join a band?

Yes, this is a fantastic goal! A tutor can help develop the essential skills for playing with other musicians, such as timing, listening, dynamics, and improvisation. They can work on learning songs by ear and understanding song structures, which are vital for any aspiring band member.

Do you offer tutoring for other subjects besides music?

We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths, English and Science for GCSE and A-Level, to languages, coding and other creative skills. We're here to support your child's entire learning journey.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides a great balance of new learning and time for practice. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions more or less frequently to suit your child's needs and your family's schedule.

How much does online drums tutoring cost?

Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in teaching graded syllabuses like Rockschool or Trinity Rock & Pop. You can often see which grades they specialise in on their profile, making it easy to find a tutor who can guide your child through their exams.
