Drum tuition for all styles of music and for all ages in Jersey, Channel Islands. Since 2003 drums have been a passion of mine. Lessons aren’t formal.
I now have another passion, which is to inspire my students to have the same kind of aspirations and hopes that got me hooked all those years ago. Just like any musical instrument, drums require commitment and a long term investment but with the right type of tutoring, this experience will hopefully be a very enjoyable one and one that will be with you, as it is for me, for years to come. I consid
er myself incredibly lucky to be in this profession teaching something that has been a part of my life for so long and to inspire others. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a student progress into a completely unique drummer. This is why my lessons are tailored to the individual to give you the opportunity to grow, but with the control and understanding that all drummers should have. Of course, they are taken seriously as the most important thing is for them to be as valuable as possible, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be fun. The sessions are tailored individually to take account of your needs and abilities through a structured learning programme whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced student. Beginner lessons start with:-
• Basic drum grooves
• An understanding of rhythm
• Foundation steps for sight reading
More advanced lessons include:-
• Development of technique and musicianship
• Advanced rhythms and grooves
• Different genres
• Improvisational skills
• Progression of sight reading
Specialist tuition:-
• Double bass pedal techniques and development
• The “blast beat”
• Speed drumming
• All types of rock and metal
My studio is fully equipped with an 8 piece Pearl kit and a Tama 5 piece kit, suited for younger students. Please contact me to have a look at the studio or to have a chat about lessons.
