I run a purpose-built drum kit teaching studio in Belfast.

I use two kits, one for the student and one for me. This is great for teaching and saves a lot of getting up and down time. We play side by side facing the same direction. This promotes better communication and enables demonstrations to be easily imitated. We do not face a wall, but rather play out to the room as in a gig or performance.

Low volume acoustic drums and cymbals are used to ensure total hearing protection. No electronic kits and no ear plugs or ear defenders required. Slow down apps are used to learn songs at a relaxed tempo.

I specialise in putting students through graded examinations, as well as GCSE, A Level preparations, and university auditions. I also teach for hobby and leisure.

I teach in blocks of 5 lessons once a week for £80.00. You may continue on for as long as you wish. I am happy to do a stand alone taster session (£17.00 for 30 minutes) for you to decide if you’d like to continue.

Catering for all ages, styles, abilities and needs.

Ample street parking directly in front and bicycle friendly. Bus route 4E stops right in front.

Friendly and encouraging lessons!
