Hello! I’m Francesco but all my students call me Frankie. I’ve been playing drums and guitar since I was 15 years old living in Venezuela. I continued my studies in an American college for a year, to then decide to get my bachelors degree in Italy; a school called MAEurope (or currently Music Academy), affiliated with Middlesex, ACM and LAMA. After getting my B.A. Degree I moved to London where I continued to teach with a couple of agencies and play as a session musician for a couple of acts. I’ve been teaching since I was 22 years old in the same school I was getting my B.A. Degree: MAEurope. My first class ever were a group of 6-years old kids; lucky me ha? Well, they were great! The main challenge of having such a young age class was to keep them entertained and not loose focus. This situation gave me the tools to create my own way of teaching which is usually laid back, fun and not with a “school” approach towards the student. The kids don’t even realize they are learning until they actually get home and know how to play the instrument! Especially with young students. it is important to make the lessons fun and not tedious as this experience sets the way the student will look at the instrument for the rest of their lives: boring classes = boring instrument. These tools are good for adults too. I won’t use childish games, of course; but the ability to keep the lesson fluent and entertaining is one of my priorities.

I am a graduate of the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and have been playing drums since I was 12. I have a wide breadth of playing experience including festivals, high-profile function gigs, studio recordings, international gigs, and more. Having taught many students both individually and in groups, ranging from ages 5-50+, beginner to advanced, both privately and as a tutor at Preston Manor Music Academy, I am confident I can help you achieve your goals on the drums. My goal as a drum tutor is to help you achieve whatever YOU want. Our lessons will be focused on what you'd like to learn, with the appropriate technical foundations to help you reach your goals. I believe lessons should be a learning experience for both students and teachers, and most of all, they should be FUN!

Want to learn to play the drums? Easy as 1,2,3. With me you will learn the basics, play along with your favorite music and build your own grooves. Preferably in my studio, but it can also be at yours. I have been behind the kit for 18 years in different styles (rock, jazz, reggae, afrobeat). We can possibly discuss an adjusted rate for children. If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message :)
