Teaching Info

Drum lessons with John are a fun and challenging adventure in rhythm and music. He will have you exploring rhythmic possibilities at the drums from the very beginning. This exploration of the drums will broaden as we apply progressive steps to gain full control and coordination of your limbs.  Applying what you’ve learned to songs for play along goes together with this exploration and development.

There are many directions that drum lessons can take.  First and foremost I want your lessons to be a fun and challenging exploration of rhythm and music. For this reason as I teach drums I always accommodate for my students natural musical curiosities, interests and abilities.  Within this context I shape our drum lessons with three main objectives:  Technical development, stylistic development, and the ability to analyze music both through musical notation and the learn-by-ear approach.

 

It took me a long time to finally decide to learn drums, especially with no prior music knowledge. I always thought it was too late—but it turns out, it's never too late! I'm almost in my 40s, and while it's definitely different from learning as a kid, John makes the process so easy. He's incredibly patient and professional, and after over a year of lessons, I can honestly say I’ve made real progress. I can’t recommend John enough!

John is a great teacher. I started taking lessons with him out of personal interest back in 2023, and he has been incredibly patient and adaptable to my needs. Whether you’re learning for fun, or pursuing it professionally, I truly believe John is the perfect fit.

John is a very patient teacher with lots of experience! He caters to my need and adopt a structured approach in my lesson. He hands me notes of what we have practised in class as a reference on how to practice at home. As an beginner adult drummer with a full time job, I take the lessons as hobby, John understands it and works with my pace. It has always been a great experience walking out of his class, as my sessions are appropriately challenging to my level. Also, it's nice to play on his acoustic drum sets as I only have electric at home.

Our son, Daniel, has been having lessons with John for 2 and a half years. John packs a lot into an hour lesson, with a supportive and kind approach. Daniel enjoys the lessons and has improved significantly during his time working with John.
