About the Lessons

I teach all styles of music, and can help you develop a great technique, learn to read, improvise and develop the skills required to become a performing musician. Most people just want to have fun and learn along the way so however keen you are and whatever you want from your lessons, learning the drums should be fun and rewarding, so please feel free to call for advice so you can get the most from the lessons.

I recommend that we discuss lessons, frequency, equipment and availability and most important of all, what you want. A quick chat is useful to ensure that lessons are personalised towards your needs. If you are a parent, then lesson lengths are important and the general advice for young people and children is:

Ages: 8-11 30 minutes (max)

Ages: 12-14 45 minutes (max)

These are general guides and this is simply part of ensuring that tuition is tailored sensibly for the individual.

Interactive teaching and learning

I use a mix of materials with the core provided by the Gigajam Drum Course. The full curriculum currently covers debut grade to grade five and can be viewed here: http://gigajamvle.com/content/drums.aspx. Feel free to try the first lesson.

Gigajam's course is supported by rich video, narrated text and interactive play along software. The drum course is highly interactive and unique to Gigajam. To practise and play along using Gigajam's software download your free version here:

All students are provided with a free login to Gigajam Virtual Learning Environment and can study all their lesson materials at home in-between lessons to maximise their experience. Each lesson contains supportive video and play along files.
