Steve Burkwood

I am extremely passionate about music, having played the piano from the age of 5, drums from age 9, guitar from age 14 and bass guitar from age 19. I began gigging as a drummer around the age of 15, and was hooked straight away! I knew then all I wanted to do was play and teach drums professionally, which I’ve been doing now for the last 15 years.

• Many teachers start with a year of marching drum patterns on the snare drum alone – I guarantee you will be playing a full drum beat and drum roll round the kit by the end of your 1st lesson!
• Beginners to advanced all catered for.
• Have worked with children as young as 4 as well as retired adults!
• Parents welcome to sit in on 1st lesson
• Learn on proper acoustic drums, not electric kits as many teachers use!
• Grades or no grades – your choice!
• Musician’s Union registered, fully insured

Music Qualifications & Achievements:

I have played the drums for 30 years, having started at the age of 9! I’ve been a professional session drummer and tutor for around 15 years now, and have played in well over 50 bands up and down the country, as well as performing in Turkey, The Philippines, Thailand, in a wide range of styles and genres.
