A song that tests the culmination of your skills at the Initial Grade - Do I Wanna Know. By the way, how cool that you can play The Arctic Monkeys' songs at the Initial grade?

Why do I teach Trinity? Why should you learn Trinity and not another syllabus?
Your choice of syllabus makes a huge difference to your lesson experience. THAT you choose one is also important. A syllabus gives you a great framework which allows for accurate tracking of your progress with clearly defined pathways to development.
Trinity allows you to:
- Play famous songs you know and love
- Customise your set-lists with own-choice pieces
- Take on challenges appropriate to your skill level

Frustrated with drum lessons? Finding it hard to make noticeable progress? I can help!
I teach the Trinity syllabus that allows you to get international accreditation for learning to play Coldplay, Queen, Toto, Nirvana and many more of your favourite songs!
What's more, I'm running a 30-day challenge for new sign-ups:

I've played for ten years in more than ten countries on Matilda the Musical, Sunset Boulevard, CATS and West Side Story. I'm also an examiner for Trinity College London.
I learnt many of the skills I needed to succeed professionally from being a Trinity student, so I'm confident you will benefit, too!
We Will Rock You, a classic song that's also a great choice to learn first!
