Lesson Options: ...Individual or Tandem
Individual Lessons
Due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, I have begun Video Lessons! I no longer conduct in person lessons. All Lessons are conducted via Live Video.
For the video lessons to be successful, you need a drum kit, a laptop, or tablet, or smart phone, that has video capabilities. You need to download the free app, Zoom: https://zoom.us/ For all Video Lesson enquiries, please communicate with me about this, if this is an option for you. At Melbourne Drum Lessons, there are different lesson types, that you can subscribe to: Private Lessons are designed for the drummer who wants to follow a weekly lesson program, with a view to extend students' rudimentary skills & co-ordination, rhythmic patterns & grooves, music reading, along with awareness & identification of song forms and styles. Together, we can devise a plan based on your goals. During the academic year, you will receive a weekly lesson based upon the lesson duration that you sign up for (30mins, 45mins or 60mins). The academic season runs from February to December, and during the school term-breaks, the lessons will cease, allowing all of the students (& their families) time off. If students wish to continue lessons during the term-break, then this can be arranged upon request. For all enquiries, please communicate with me about this. Private Coaching is designed for the drummer who feels comfortable at their current level, yet would like some extra coaching to help them reach their freedom of expression, to enhance their musical sensitivity, and to increase their skills of communication through music. The Private Coaching element is designed for appointment, and does not require signing up for the season, or weekly lessons. Private coaching lessons are also available via a ten lesson card or a five lesson card. For all enquiries, please communicate with me about this, if this is an option for you. |
Tandem Lessons

For Tandem Lessons you need to bring a drum partner with you, and create the tandem. For example, this can be a school friend, neighbour, or family member.
During the academic year, you will receive a weekly lesson based upon the lesson duration that you sign up for (30mins, 45mins or 60mins). The academic season runs from February to December, and during the school breaks, the lessons can be continued upon request. For all enquiries, please communicate with me about this.
“In the past, I have taught tandem groups of 'Parent and Child'. For example, Mum and Daughter. This parent/child group works really well, because you learn to play drums and share the musical journey together, as a family unit.”

It is important to know, that I also have the Government approved Positive Notice Blue Card, for Child Related Employed.
