Thanks for stopping by my Yell webpage. I am a Banbury based drum teacher. I offer 'private' pro drum lessons, (and Zoom) not drum classes, as everyone is an 'individual' in terms of learning new skills. I strongly believe that teaching ‘one on one’ produces ‘by far’ the best results that enable me to adapt and tailor my approach to match each student and their preferred way of learning and processing information. I have the most 5 star reviews of any drum tutor in the Banbury area, so whether it’s drum lessons for adults or drum lessons for kids, as a beginner, I always manage to find a way forward that is both fun and rewarding and not too stressful for each student. I also teach privately at Christopher Rawlins Primary School and Kingham Primary School. I have two 'Child Safeguard' certificates, one from 2019 and most the most recent 2022. I also hold four 'enhanced' DBS/CRB certificates; copy and paste the following url, https://www.banburydrumtuition.co.uk/about-me to view all my certifications and testimonials.

I also have Public Liability Insurance certificate. I teach from age 6 & 7 upward, using varying methods that I have acquired from more than 35 years of classically based education and graduation from The Musicians Institute www.mi.edu in the USA. I teach all aspects of drumming from sight-reading, kit tuning; click track work, equipment maintenance, gigging, sessions and everything else drum related. I also do a lot of improvisational work, playing to all manner of artists. I have played in many musical set up's from pit orchestra, classical, Jazz, Rock and Fusion mix. I also offer studio session work. My teaching style is relaxed, professional and individually 'tailored' to each student.
