About the lesson

- I provide one-to-one in-studio & online drum tuition offering guidance to students in groove, technique, rhythm and time keeping as well as boosting performance confidence. I endeavour to keep my approach interesting, fun and educational to develop students' drumming and musicianship to a higher level whether they are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player.

- Lessons are tailored to suit the individual needs and goals of the student and are aimed to teach at a pace that works for their particular skill level to ensure the most effective results.

- With my experience of playing live music in a variety of different band situations coupled with my music education, I am able to apply the practical skills and knowledge that I have learnt in to lessons for students who are interested in learning for fun, writing original music, exploring new concepts, collaborating with other musicians or gaining their Trinity/Rock school grades at all levels.

- Musical styles covered include: Pop, Rock, Indie, Funk, Reggae, Drum and Bass, Modern electronic genres, Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, Punk, Metal, World music and Latin.

Amazing dedication to his pupil’s development, it’s been a pleasure to watch my son develop as a drummer. The lessons are well constructed and the week on week improvements are manageable and consistent. Well done and thank you Japhy
