Drum Lessons for All Ages - Unlock best techniques,
From 54 £ /h
All ages are welcome to study with me. I will create a personalised practice planner that is full of new, unexplored and exciting content. Depending what you would like to learn or improve in certain areas. I am experienced in teaching topics such as styles, covering metal, rock, funk, hip-hop, jazz, hand and foot technique, double bass playing, independence, ergonomic approach towards set-up, posture, creative sticking patterns and countless other concepts.
With carefully picked and personalised practice planners as well as reachable goals, my students are able to see significant results in short periods of time. I see teaching as a way to translate complex and overlooked topics in the most easily understandable and applicable ways so students can feel confident, motivated and eager when learning with me.

About Me
I have expanded my knowledge and skills teaching private lessons based in drums and music production, performing live as well as recording in studio on drums, composing music for ads and short films, audio mix engineering – these skills helped me to engage with variety of students, develop a good sense about instruments, audio equipment and the most efficient ways to approach teaching.

I am well versed in music theory, music composition, music and audio production. I see teaching as a way to translate complex and overlooked topics in the most easily understandable and applicable ways so my students can feel confident, motivated and eager when learning with me!

I am specialising in music composition, sound design, audio editing and mixing which are paramount areas of audio for today's modern sound. I strongly believe that anyone can be taught how to produce a compelling track or sound that could be usable for any media outlet.
In Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 11 or 12, I will walk you through the basics and necessary fundamentals to create high quality music production, I tackle overlooked topics and offer a 'over-the-shoulder-look' approach to my students where they can see why I do certain decisions and what tools I tend to choose for specific tasks in order to achieve the sound that I have in my head.
