Our Drum Tuition Rates

We generally recommend 30 minute lessons for children below the age of 13 as we have found they are more productive in terms of their attention span and how much they learn in this time. For teenagers and students over the age of 15 we recommend 45 minutes or 1 hour.

NB. All students are different and learn in different ways, so it's purely down to the individual how long the lessons can be.

30 mins = £20*
45 mins = £30*
1 hour = £40*

*Discounts available for block bookings.

We are currently rated 5/5 by our students

Testimonial From Andreas Navazzi

I took up drum lessons with Dee for fun really. I was 38 when I started and continued them for 3 years. I stopped because we had another child and couldn't really continue with them anymore. But I would absolutely love to continue learning with Dee and maybe one day I will. I wish Dee all the best and good luck for the future. Thank you for teaching me.

Regards
Andreas Navazzi

Testimonial From Anila Saund

Dee has tutored my son, Aaron, for over four years. To date, he has achieved an outstanding result in grade one in drumming examinations and is currently preparing for grade two. Dee has arranged appropriate paperwork and taken Aaron to his examination.

Dee has been an inspirational teacher encouraging Aaron to not only enjoy learning a new instrument but by linking what he learns to general music history and current trends. In addition, he is given consistent homework and alerts on his mobile to consolidate and practise new skills.

Aaron is taught at home on a weekly basis. Dee has excellent attendance and punctuality and has been consistently available to maintain a steady pace of learning. Aaron looks forward to his lessons and feels comfortable with his teacher.

I would recommend Dee without reservation to work with young people. He is polite, respectable, and approachable he has the ability to mix disciplined learning with a sense of fun. He is also in touch with developments in both technology and youth culture.

Testimonial From Errol Thompson

It is a great pleasure to have Dee as part of our Music tuition team at Streetwyze, he has brought a greater sense of professionalism and integrity to the Streetwyze Project Barking and Dagenham his approach to young people`s learning is unique , engaging and exciting.

What he sets out to do he most certainly achieves, with a high level of personal dedication and insight. He is most approachable and understanding to the needs of project development and youth interaction, as his unique aptitude in engaging young people through his personal zeal for the instrument that he teaches enhances the learning experience for young people, which is essential in working with young people with learning disabilities or behavioural problems.

We can recommend Dee to any individual or organisation with regards to his ability and outcomes and his experience working with young people. He is most certainly a man of integrity a great asset when working with young people who need stability and discipline.

Testimonial From Jennifer Tomaszewska

My eight year old daughter started weekly drumming lessons with Dee four months ago. Dee has been professional yet approachable which has put my daughter very much at ease in learning a new skill. He is friendly and makes the lessons fun and interesting. She cannot wait to entertain the family with what she has learnt every lesson! Dee's flexible, encouraging and patient manner has kept my daughter keen to learn and she looks forward to her drumming lessons and progressing further with Dee.

Testimonial From Robert

Just wanted to say that Dee has a lot of patience. I had other drum teachers that used to get really frustrated with me because I was getting things wrong all the time. But with Dee he just used to break things down for me in bite size pieces so that i could get it and it really works. I'm now playing in a band and loving the drums.

Thank mate rob
