"I started taking drum kit lessons with Jack a couple of years ago. My current lessons are tailored around my interests in blues, soul, funk and jazz as well as a need to develop my music theory, aural & rhythm skills. Jack’s knowledge and enthusiasm while teaching have helped me work through some challenging material - in an enjoyable and supportive environment.
With Jack's help, I passed my first Trinity College London music grade with distinction in October and that is why I highly recommend him as a drum teacher.” (Vanessa Hay, private student)
Whatever your level, age, musical taste or reason for learning drum kit, my aim is to provide a supportive and constructive learning environment, set realistic targets and help students develop their musical skills. My students all have unique reasons for playing drums and I tailor lesson plans to help them reach their goals, be it playing in a band, grading exams (Trinity/Guildhall and Rock School), or simple stress relief!
Topics covered in lessons:
- Musicality, groove and timing
- Technique (hands, feet, posture)
- Rhythm reading and chart reading
- Rudiments study and application
- Ear training
- Live performance skills
- Genre study
(I can provide sticks for the first lesson if you don’t have them or just want to get a taster).
I teach both from home and am happy to travel to my students. I also teach at higher education institution the London College of Creative Media as well as running group percussion lessons for Taiko Meantime drumming group.
