-
What ages do you teach?
I teach students of all ages! I have experience teaching across all age ranges as well as working with children with Special Educational Needs.
-
Do I need my own drum kit?
No, in fact its very common for beginners to not have their own drum kit. This isnt an issue whatsoever! A lot of progress can be made even without having your own kit to practice on away from these lessons.
During the lessons all equipment is provided, however if you have your own sticks I recommend bringing them along!
-
How long are the lessons?
The lessons are 1 hour long. All of these lessons are 1 to 1 and include a follow up of any relevant study materials and notes from the lesson.
-
What will you teach me?
All my lessons are specifically tailored to the student and their personal goals. In the first lesson I like to speak to the student and get an idea of what they want to achieve on the drum kit and look at setting some short, mid and long term goals.
My lesson topics are always based on what the student wants to improve on, some of these topics include:
How to read music
How to learn songs on drums
How to practice effectively
Building technique from beginner to advanced ideas
How to write drum parts for songs
Studying of different types of music and looking at their key features
-
Can I watch my childs lesson?
Absolutely!
There is a seating area next door to the teaching studio, or feel free to sit in on the lesson.
