Drum Lessons Essex

I teach drum kit in a number of schools in and around London and Essex, I teach my own syllabus which is influenced from my own studies as a student but also from my own professional experience and also includes respected books. I do teach the Trinity and Rockskool graded systems if students wish to go through these and my students have a 100% distinction pass. Along with teaching in schools I mentor students for the National Autistic Society and Essex Music Service. I hold a Level 3 Teaching Certificate in Arts and Music Leadership and am currently studying for a Masters in Teaching Music to Special Educational Needs (SEN), so you could say that I have a passion for education! I have a clear DBS, and level 3 Child Protection Certificate too.

My studio is in Rainham - Essex, and available to all my students. All sessions are 1:1 and can be booked in 30 or 60 minute blocks, for £20 and £40 respectively. Whilst I ask that fees be paid on a monthly basis in advance, I aways offer a discount on longer term advance bookings, so please get in touch if you would like to know more.

I teach a range of ages and abilties - including children and adults with Special Educational Needs (SEN), Autism and Aspergers. Lessons can always be adapted - drum lessons (or any music lesson) are for everybody. Drumming is an amazing mind and body work out for anyone and everyone, and I have helped hundreds of people from all kinds of backgrounds.

I am the Lead Music Mentor for Essex Music Service. My role there is to use music to develop and raise attainment, build self esteem and confidence, and to help young people to nurture social relationships. Music Mentoring should be a fun way for students to explore, make mistakes and learn so they can grow. Some evidence of improvement (not just in music) are;

Musical skill
School attendance
Language skills
Wellbeing
Family
Social and cultural connections
Valuing of self and local cultures
Curiosity
Resilience
Autonomy
Cooperation and strategies for problem solving

There is compelling academic and experiential evidence that playing and studying music can improve and helps any area of life - music should be a daily activity for everyone. If you would like more information on this and what you can do to help your child get more involved in music locally, then please get in touch.
