Lots of frequently asked questions regarding private lessons. Here is your cut out and keep guide.
Lessons take place at Bell Studios, London W3
Teaching days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a full list of current dates is available on request
Weekend slots are occasionally available by special arrangement
Each lesson is custom designed to meet your specific requirements. Prior to our first meeting you will be sent an evaluation form wherein you can give details of your background, experience and goals. This way we hit the ground running and no lesson time is wasted.
Each lesson is supported by written feedback, practice recommendations and notation examples. over time this will grow into your own personal, bespoke drum method.
The teaching room is air conditioned and all equipment is premier league quality, and all scrupulously maintained by Bell percussion.
Unsurpisingly, jazz and big band playing are specialist areas, although there is much for players of other styles as my personal methods are not genre specific and can be applied equally effectively to pretty much any style of playing. Aspects such as creativity and how to develop it in your drumming are of course universal.
I don't teach the Moeller method. My approach to technique is simpler, more natural and logical.
You don't need to be pro standard to come for lessons, although a year or two of decent experience is probably the minimum requirement.
Frequency of lessons is your call. Once a month, once a year or once in a lifetime; whatever suits you.
Everybody has different calls on their time and of course, money. You are under no obligation at all and come ack when you have asborbed the study material and are ready for more. Don't waste my time and your money by booking a repeat lesson if you are not ready.
You don't need to bring anything apart from a pair of sticks, a positive attitude and some ambition. If you forget your sticks Bell have all the major brands in stock, and if you forget your positive attitude and ambition I'll take care of that.
