Why learn to play drums?

Drum lessons play a pivotal role in nurturing musicianship and personal development. Beyond just learning to play beats and rhythms, these lessons offer a wealth of benefits. They cultivate discipline and focus, as mastering intricate patterns demands consistent practice and concentration. Drumming also enhances coordination and motor skills, fostering a strong mind-body connection. Moreover, these lessons instill a profound understanding of timing and tempo, which proves invaluable in any musical pursuit. Collaborative skills flourish as students engage in ensemble playing, learning to synchronize with other instruments. Additionally, drumming serves as a powerful emotional outlet, allowing individuals to express themselves creatively and release stress. Overall, drum lessons not only shape skilled percussionists but also contribute to holistic growth by fostering discipline, coordination, musicality, teamwork, and emotional well-being.

Lessons can take place in my Liskeard based studio, or via Skype. I have had over fifteen years of experience teaching drums and percussion to a multitude of different students. These have ranged from primary school ages, six formers, degree students and beyond.
