Learn the drums at your own pace with healthy practice methods from a professional drummer in London or online

As a multi-instrumentalist with an honours music degree from BIMM with a drum set specialism, I have tutored drums since 2010, and music theory, music technology and guitar. I offer ABRSM as well as Trinity College and Rockschool exams and recording projects. Importantly, I establish an early grasp of comfortable and healthy playing aided by The Anatomy of Drumming by John Lamb and the Alexander Method. In teaching I utitise programmes such as Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer by Ted Reed, Basic Drumming by Joel Rothman, a holistic application of rudiments, and write my own pieces and exercises. We will waste no time with technique; Moeller, stick control, and personal ergonomics are crucial. An early foundation in reading music and internalising pulse, time and melody are part-in-parcel of the practice routine maintenance. My DBS is current since October 2022 and I'm trained in Safeguarding, Mental Health and Online Safety. Join me in discovering music by making it. I look forward to meeting you.
