“I feel incredibly lucky to have had such fantastic teachers in Ben Lambert and Craig Blundell (world renowned educator and Roland’s international clinician). Their enthusiasm and passion for drumming was hugely infectious and it’s something I hopefully bring to my tuition now. Having those solid foundations made me realise just how important the fundamentals of drumming are and I feel privileged to pass my knowledge on to other budding musicians.”
Students are taken through Rockschool grades. These qualifications are internationally recognised and operate in 18 different countries outside the UK. The syllabuses are designed to develop a whole range of skills that reflect the realistic requirements of being a musician in today's world. Rockschool grades also have fantastic academic uses too. Grades can count towards GCSEs for college acceptance and UCAS points for people applying for university.
“Obviously grades are optional, some people like to take them, others don’t. Personally I feel using the RockSchool grades are a great tool when learning the drums. Grades can give students direction and a goal to work towards but I feel grades work best as part of a whole subject being learnt, rather than the only thing I teach students.”
