Drum Lessons

Lorraine works as a freelance tutor in London and Kent, specialising in drum kit and percussion. She works with children from the age of five, to adults. Lessons are on a one to one basis and can be tailored to suit individual needs.

Some of the key areas that students focus on are:

  • Learning to read drum kit notation
  • Preparing for graded exams (Rockschool, Trinity Rock and Pop, Trinity College London and ABRSM all covered)
  • Learning to play a transcribed drum part to a famous rock/pop tune
  • Improving aural skills by playing grooves and single line rhythms from memory
  • The discipline of jazz drumming and associated grooves
  • Improving co-ordination and timing
