Leicester Drum School

"I had drum lessons with Richard for around ten years and I looked forward to going every week. I learned so much from him that I went on to do music at college and hopefully one day It will be my career. He took my thought each of the eight grades and gave me the skills to play in any musical situation. Thanks Richard"

"My daughter was a complete beginner 2 years ago when she first started having drum lessons with Richard and she has made great progress. She has achieved a distinction in both of the Grade exams she has taken and really enjoys her lessons. I would recommend Richard to anyone looking for a drum teacher."

"My 14 year old son has been learning drums with Richard now for 3 years. He started as a complete beginner and has improved so much he is now loving playing in groups as well as on his own. He always loves going to his lessons and is keen to do well under Richards excellence guidance."

"Richard has been an excellent drum tutor to my son for the past 10 years. My son Joel began drum lessons with Richard at age 8 as a total beginner. Over the next few years he took his Trinity Drum kit gradings reaching grade 8 at age 16. Throughout these years Joel has always enjoyed learning and developing as a drummer with Richards help. Richards passion for music helped my son as he took his studies to Leicester college to study music performance. Joel has played in several bands including the Enderby Brass Band and won individual awards for his percussion. Joel is now enjoying gigging with his own bands and we are both grateful to Richard for his help and support."

"My 10 year old son has been learning to play the drums since he was 6 years old with Richard and has recently passed his grade 2 with a merit after just 6 months of preparation! I could not find another teacher who would take my son on so young, but Richard was willing to teach him simply on the snare drum to begin with as he wasn't quite big enough for the drum kit. After completing grades 1 + 2 on the snare drum very successfully, Richard decided it was time to take him a step further and to have a go at playing the full drum kit. Now just four years on, my son has passed all of his 4 exams so far first time with 2 distinctions and 2 merits! This would not have been as easily achievable without Richard's constant support, encouragement and one-to-one tuition. I highly recommend Richard as a tutor for drummers of all ages and experience and cant wait to see my son flourish with his talent even further."
