FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my own drum kit to start?

Not necessarily. While having a kit at home to practise is helpful, Andrew can advise you on the best setup for your budget and space. An electronic kit or practice pad is a great starting point for beginners.

How long are the lessons?

Lesson duration can vary based on your age, level, and preference. Get in touch with Andrew to discuss what length and format will work best for you.

What ages do you teach?

Andrew teaches all ages — from young children (around age 5 and up) through to adults of any age. It's never too early or too late to learn the drums.

How often should I have lessons?

Most students start with one lesson per week. This gives enough time to practise between sessions and consolidate what's been covered. Andrew will recommend a frequency based on your goals.

Do you teach music reading?

Yes — reading drum notation is part of the curriculum for students who want to develop that skill. It's not mandatory for beginners, but it becomes very useful as you progress.

How do I book my first lesson?

Simply call or email Andrew. He’ll have a quick chat with you about your goals and find a time that suits. No complicated online booking required.
