Something for everyone

There is no one type of person that takes drum lessons or wants to learn something new. I currently teach drums to a Head Master, a shop worker, a Chartered Surveyor, a Gym owner, an IT professional, an Investor and many more people. There are lots of different reasons for wanting to learn and I am happy to work with each individual to achieve their drumming aims.

I teach Drum Kit and Percussion lessons of all playing styles to all ages and abilities in Norwich, from beginners to advanced. My drum lesson plans are designed to fit the individuals needs and to ensure that everybody gets what they want from their drum lessons and that they eventually develop into the complete player. Whatever your goal with drumming and percussion, I am happy to help. Whether it be to tick something off your list that you have always wanted to do, progress through grades, join a band or to develop your playing. I teach a wide range of students Online, in Norwich and across Norfolk in terms of both age and ability. You can find out more about me here.

I encourage the reading of music as this allows you to eventually find your own material and inspiration to develop yourself as a player. It ensures that you are not left dependent on being shown an idea and that you are able to discover things for yourself. I work heavily with both Trinity College and Rockschool. Their books cover a wide range of material which in turn leaves no holes in playing. Trinity offer both a Rock and Pop syllabus as well as a Classical and Jazz syllabus and both require different skill sets. There are many factors within playing and learning that can be shared across genres, for example the similarity between playing an up tempo show tune or a punk song. As well as using material from other publishers, I also have my own syllabus, The Online Drum Club! There are courses available at various levels and you can find information and resources here.
