Lessons are tailored to each individual student, addressing their weaknesses, strengths, and most importantly, their musical tastes and areas of interest.  Preparation for graded exams is also catered for if desired.  Areas covered include technique, feel/groove, coordination, reading, drum kit set-up and tuning, ear training, learning new/different styles and many more.

 

Whether a student wants to achieve their grade 8, or learn to play along with their favourite songs, all areas are covered.  The emphasis of James' teaching is making learning fun while in a relaxed and friendly environment.
