Welcome to The Milton Keynes Drum Academy
Established in 2014, I offer one-to-one drum lessons for children, teenagers and adults — from complete beginners to experienced players. Lessons are tailored to each student, focusing on solid technique, confidence, and enjoying the music you love.
I look forward to teaching you.

How Drum Lessons Work
One-to-one lessons for children, teens & adults
At The Milton Keynes Drum Academy, every lesson is tailored to the individual. Whether you’re learning your first beat or refining advanced technique, lessons are structured, supportive and enjoyable. We focus on timing, coordination, technique and musicality — using songs you actually want to play.
Who I Teach
I teach students of all ages and abilities across Milton Keynes. Children benefit from fun, structured lessons that build confidence and coordination, while teenagers and adults enjoy goal-focused sessions that develop real musical skills. Whether you’re learning for fun, working towards grades, or returning to drumming after a break, lessons are adapted to suit you.
