Private Drum Lessons in South Wales

I’ve been teaching drums privately since 2017 and in schools since 2022. Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, whether that’s learning your favourite songs, improving technique, or preparing for graded exams. My approach focuses on groove, feel, and making every lesson fun and productive.

• Graded tuition (Trinity or RSL)

• Technique & rudiments

• Playing along to songs you love

• Improvisation & creativity

• External exam or concert prep (school concerts, live gigs etc.)

Lessons are available online via Zoom or in-person at my South Wales studio. Flexible session lengths to fit your schedule:

30 minute sessions - £18

60 minute sessions - £30

”Jonathan teaches my son (who just wants to play random songs) and my daughter (who wants to be a drummer and is doing her grades). My two thourghly enjoy their lessons, Jonathan is very patient, an excellent teacher and I highly recommend him for lessons.”

Frequently asked questions

Can lessons be online?

Yes! Fully structured lessons over Zoom

What do I need for online lessons?

ust a drum kit (or practice pad), sticks, and a device with a camera & microphone - specific zoom settings are needed which we will sort out before the lesson.

What’s the cancellation policy?

24-hour notice required for rescheduling or cancellation and no refunds are given.

Can beginners start at any age?

Lessons are designed to suit students of all ages and abilities, though I usually recommend that children start at around 6 years old to ensure they can comfortably manage the kit and follow instructions.

How are lessons paid for?

Lessons are paid either by invoice via bank transfer or in cash. Payment is requested for a minimum of four lessons at a time to help with scheduling and consistency.
