Drums / Percussion
Private lessons, group workshops, and band coaching
Let the music inform our learning.
Our first lesson will involve talking about your musical influences, listening to music, and discussing what's going on behind the scenes that makes that music really work.
Then begins the playing! We'll work on musically informed grooves, fills, and the techniques we need to support them. We'll also challenge ourselves with co-ordination practice linked to the tunes, and some goal setting to ensure we stay on track from week to week.
Personalised lessons tailored to your goals, skill level, and musical interests. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine advanced techniques.
Collaborative learning sessions on different topics for small groups (2-3). Great for building ensemble skills, learning from peers, and developing musicianship in a social setting.
Full band sessions to help improve tightness, dynamics, and overall level of performance. Ideal for bands preparing for gigs, recordings, or looking for fresh ears to hear their material.
"Josh leads a big band I play in and has done for a number of years. Incredibly knowledgeable musically, enthusiastic, friendly leader of the band and able to get the best out of us while making it fun. Josh is a great MD at our gigs, making it an enjoyable and interactive experience with the band and the audience, always delivering a great experience for all."
"After having Drum lessons for a year with another tutor and nearly giving up I found Josh - he taught in a way which was inspirational, creative and motivated me to become a Drummer. I am now studying music at university and drumming in a band."
"Josh taught my son drumming for 3 years and he was fantastic. Josh was always professional and inspiring. He helped my son to hone his skills and become a creative drummer. Highly recommend."
"Josh is a passionate and skillful educator. His students enjoy lessons where key technical and musical concepts are brought to life through creative games, exercises and contemporary repertoire. Musicality is at the heart of Josh's teaching and your learning."
