Frequently Asked Questions
What ages do you teach?
Most of my students are adults and teenagers. These age groups always do well. I also offer limited amount of Core Lessons for students that want to get started sooner (age 9-12).
What levels do you teach?
All levels - total beginner to pro. Whatever your current level, we'll work out where you're at and get you where you want to go.
How often should I take lessons?
It's completely up to you - book online as often as you like. I recommend weekly lessons for students who are serious about getting good.
How long do lessons last?
• Lessons for adults & teenagers last 55 minutes.
​• Core Lessons for younger students last 45 minutes.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just your sticks and a payment card (ApplePay also accepted).
What kind of stuff do you teach?
What we'll focus on depends on your interests and goals, but as a general guide:

Beginner - We'll focus on learning the 10 beats you need to play along with songs by ear, and master 5 cools fills that will get you moving round the kit.

​Intermediate - We'll learn your favourite songs in detail, and dig into grades (and/or GCSE pieces) if you're interested in doing so.

Advanced - We'll focus on getting you flowing round the kit freely, and learn methods to improvise/solo on the spot.

Pro - We'll focus on the big 3 areas that separate the best from the rest - Time, Tone and Technique.
What is your cancellation policy?
