Yes! I can help you prepare for Rockschool (RSL) and Trinity College London graded exams. These certifications are internationally recognised and are a great option for students looking to pursue academic studies or teaching.

In the UK, they also provide UCAS points for university applications. Many European conservatories and universities, as well as institutions worldwide, recognise these certifications as a solid portfolio piece that demonstrates a student’s commitment and skill level in music. Recognition may vary by institution, so it’s best to check with the admissions office for details.

While my priority will always be to make you into a great drummer, if you’d like to pursue certifications along the way, I can tailor your lessons to specifically prepare for those exams.

No prior experience is necessary to begin this drumming journey! Whether you’re starting from scratch or have some experience, we’ll design a personalised learning plan that aligns with your current skill level and allows you to progress at your own pace.

Drumming is a journey, and everyone has their own path. I’m here to guide you in the right direction and help you grow as a musician, no matter where you’re starting from.

No equipment is strictly needed to begin your lessons, but having at least drumsticks and a practice pad would be great to get started. Ideally, having a drum kit of any kind will allow you to fully engage with the lessons.

During your trial lesson, we’ll assess the equipment you have available and figure out how to make the most of it. If needed, I can also help you set up your equipment to ensure you’re getting the most out of your practice space.

The base currency for all lessons is GBP (British Pounds), but don’t worry—all prices will be displayed and charged in your local currency at checkout, at no extra cost. The exchange rate used will be the current market rate to ensure fair pricing.

When you purchase a lesson package, you get a code with a balance of either 6 or 12 hours. Here’s how it works:

• Check out with your package: Book your lessons as you normally would, then at checkout, in the “Package, gift, or code” section, select your purchased package. The total duration of the lessons you’re booking will be deducted from your package balance.

• Use with or without an account: If you’re logged in, you can select the package directly. If you’re not logged in and prefer not to create an account, use the package code from your confirmation email. Enter this code at checkout as if it were a discount code to apply your package balance.

• Lesson cancellation: If you cancel a lesson, the time will be added back to your package balance for future use.

• Flexible use: You can book one or more lessons at a time, and the balance will be deducted accordingly until it runs out. The balance never expires.

I understand that life happens! I want to be flexible, but also need to make plans. So, here’s the policy:

• Rescheduling or Cancelling: You can reschedule or cancel your lesson up to 12 hours before the scheduled time. After that, you won’t be able to reschedule or cancel, and full fees will apply if you miss the lesson. I hope you understand that I need this fair time frame to plan my life accordingly.

• Emergency situations: If something unexpected comes up and you need to cancel last-minute, please reach out to me as soon as possible. I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
