ABOUT

Ben is a music producer and musician based in North Leeds. Since achieving a Masters with Distinction in Music Production he’s been working in different areas of the music industry including recording, mixing, performing, composition and performance coaching.

His passion for music, patience, and attention to detail allow him to bring out the best in new and experienced musicians alike, and his experience as a multi-instrumentalist (including Grade 8 Drums Distinction) means he can support musicians in different areas of their musical education. An enhanced DBS check has also been attained.

DRUM TUTION

Depending on your experience you’ll work through a number of different areas of drumming. These include Core Rhythms (eights, sixteenths, & quarter notes), Intermediate Drumming (shuffle, swing, triplets), and Advanced Drumming (Latin, funk).

Although not all new musicians are overly keen on the idea of learning to read music, where appropriate Ben aims to incorporate drum notation into his lessons as he finds it to be a useful reference tool while developing and learning new music. It's also essential if you choose to study Grades.

Alongside this he also builds performance/play-along components into lessons as often as possible. This allows students to engage with the drums in an enjoyable way, and to apply new skills in the context of a song.

It’s recommended that students bring their own sticks to each lesson, however these can be provided if needed.

YOUR FIRST LESSON

Whether it’s a new pursuit or you’re just looking to brush up on your skills, your first lesson is an opportunity to get to know each other; what your goals are, what music you enjoy, and how you’d like to develop your skills. Every lesson is hands on so from day one you’ll be making music and planning the next steps of your music education.

LOCATION: Lessons are taught from a studio in Chapel Allerton, or if you have a setup in your own home Ben may be able to travel to you.

FREQUENCY: Weekly or Fortnightly

RATES: Lessons are typically 30 minutes (£19.60) or 40 minutes (£24.30), however longer or shorter lessons can be arranged to suit your personal preference.

Testimonials

Helene D.

My 4 year-old son has been learning a lot since starting drums lessons with Ben. He's really enjoying it and I feel like he's learning well. I definitely recommend Ben.

Jill A.

Had my first lesson with Ben, he talked me through the reasons I have chosen the drums and listened and understood what I was saying. The lesson went extremely well and although I made mistakes he was very patient and understanding. I will be booking more lessons with him.

Shaun C.

I have been in music for well over 30years and I’ve never met anyone so dedicated to helping and guiding people with their abilities and getting the most out of them while making it as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. Bens vocation is to help people realise their ambitions and goals and he is so easy to work with, and for a young man so very knowledgeable about music.

From first collaborating with Ben I have found him to be very easy to work with. His expert musical ability and inspiring ways of drawing the best out of you creatively is what keeps me going back time and again. A knowledge for production/mixing/mastering as well as guidance on vocal delivery & guitar playing.
