Drumkit lessons for any level of experience and any genre

From 42 £ /h

The needs of the pupil come first, and the lessons will be designed to accommodate those first and foremost, in this way I will employ my Jazz training to improvise the best possible lesson based on those needs.

That said, a foundational structure of rudiments and essential theoretical knowledge is key to a productive lesson, and hopefully a pinch of fun, too!

I have bags of experience teaching music, and I'm happy to teach to all levels of drummer. Having acquired a degree at a conservatoire, I have the skills required to deliver you the highest level of tutelage.

Extra information

If you aren't coming by car, the studio is within 10 minutes' walk from Bournville train station. No need to bring anything but your good self, sticks and drums are provided.

About Me

Hello! I'm Rob, I'm 30, from central England.

I'm a drummer, pianist and composer who graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire of Music in 2018 with a degree in Jazz music. While studying, I received coaching from musicians such as Jeff Williams, Clark Tracey, Andrew Bain, Mike Williams, Percy Pursglove and Hans Koller, as well as attending masterclasses given by Steve Coleman, Jeff Ballard, John Riley and Dave Liebman, to name a few. I also travelled to Berlin for tuition from a drummer called Christian Lillinger. I've performed at venues such as Symphony Hall Birmingham, Huntingdon Hall Worcester, Eastside Jazz Club, The Hexagon Theatre, Upton, Cheltenham and Trondheim Jazz Festivals and many more. I performed for Prince Edward in the Eastside Jazz Club during his tour of the Conservatoire.

I'm also a trained classical musician, and have experience in a multitude of other genres of which I have a comprehensive understanding, such as: Cuban music, Latin American, rock, pop, metal, indie, reggae, blues and folk.

Hello!

I am a musician offering tutorials in piano, trumpet, cornet, harmony, counterpoint, theory, and other general music-y things in English! I’m also available to direct rehearsals and concerts.

A continuation of music theory, students will and learn to write chorales in the style of J.S. Bach, before moving on to fugues and looking at the ways in which other composers have used harmony. I also have knowledge of jazz harmony and am able to discuss this with students if they wish.

Please contact me to chat about your/ your child’s musical goals and ambitions and to arrange a lesson. I am able to travel to homes and offices and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs! I have also taught over Skype in the past, where there’s the option of screen sharing, making it possible to demonstrate things on the screen.

Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon!

I'm teaching music since 2013 and hold Indian classical Diploma, Western music all grade certificates in guitar and a MA graduate in Music Production from Derby, UK.
I enjoy composing music so bringing all notes to life with different sounds is a different feeling altogether., Teaching all these styles to new students is really fun and challenging at times. However It can be acquired with maintaining proper balance with music theory and practical knowledge.

With my teaching methods and approach towards my subject, I will mould every student into a good musician provided with all the knowledge they would require to settle down in the industry. Exams are inevitable so all Interested students can prepare for certifications under my supervision.

In this unit we will look at how to play and improvise over top backing tracks. You will start to explore how to play your favourite jazz and pop tunes by ear and then set up riffs and solos as you go along. Taught by top Ibiza and pop soloist you will really see how this will inspire your saxophone player. Ideal for any level from beginner upwards.
