Catina said: Friendly. Details in explaining. Demonstration is helpful. Good advice for students

Bridgette said: I signed up to the beginners course to explore my interest in drumming and learn more about what skills are required and this course was exactly what I was looking for. Claudio did an amazing job of emphasising the basics and tying in how strong foundations are critical to master before being able to do something complex. I'm left-handed and felt well accounted for, with Claudio showing me my options as a drummer. The course included proper drumming technique, hand-foot and left-right coordination, basic grooves, and how to read drum sheet music. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning the drums!

Jamie said: The teacher was most knowledgeable and had an easy going style. He made the course material easy to understand and it was entertaining just playing along. It was a fantastic introduction to drumming and really understanding if I had the necessary coordination skills to keep playing in the future.

Joshua said: I greatly enjoyed learning to start using the drums. Feedback was given at all times in the course, although slightly more feedback and tips on learning hand placement/form would be appreciated. Tutor occasionally spoke a bit fast over certain topics.
