1:1 Mentoring

I have 3+ years of teaching experience on both the drum kit and the piano (by extension all keyboard-based instruments) so I also offer personal tuition covering a wide range of educational topics suited to bettering one's musicality.

I can help you with variations of chords and drumming technique, as well as offering historical and technical context to the music you're playing. We will connect on a weekly basis.
