I have been teaching for over 4 years now since finishing my degree in professional musicianship at BIMM. I am originally from Colchester in Essex but moved to Brighton for the degree and have stayed here ever since. I started teaching drums to friends before moving to brighton and loved the experience of showing other people how fun the instrument is. I have always been into all aspects of drumming so after my amazing experience at university, teaching was an easy choice for me. One of the main reasons I love teaching the drums specifically, is because learning the basics is fun, and you'll be playing along to songs in no time! 
 
When someone new comes for a lesson, I always ask why they want to learn the drums. Is it to play along to your favourite songs, do you have ambitions to join a band, do you want to study grades, or just have fun behind the kit? I ask this so I can cater to exactly what you want as a student, helping you get to where you want to be. For me when I was younger, the drums just seemed cool though so that's a good enough answer as well.

I find the key to staying motivated to learn something like an instrument is interest, so my teaching style is based around that. I try to find what people are interested in, whether that's a genre of music or a specific band, and I work around that. I also like to show my students new points of interest as well though. Whether that be a new genre or a band, this usually helps to help keep them inspired.
This really helped me, and still does to this day!
