Online Drum lessons by Fun Lovin' Criminals original member

I know that the details of musicianship is just as important when teaching my students the drums. “Teaching and learning are both about exploration, inquiry and experimentation.” I approach each lesson fully committed to spark a student’s imagination and musical understanding through these principles.

With Jazz, Rockschool or Custom curriculums, my students will be equipped with the practical skills of sheet reading, accompaniment styles, technique and improvisations in all genres. They can then take their creativity of music in many directions ready for real world situations. Questions are asked throughout lessons to allow students to make their own decisions and take ownership of their musical interpretations. My studio is professionally equipped with 4 switchable HD cameras, Students can view from different angles throughout the lesson.
My joy in teaching is seeing students’ ideas develop and being there, guiding them each step of the way. My true purpose is to help students become problem solvers and independent learners, in discovering their own artistic voices, whilst daring them to be more than who they think they can be.
