About the lesson

I'm happy teaching complete beginners as well as more advanced players. I cater my approach to each student, adjusting my subject matter and style to you. If a student requires more time to focus on certain things I can step back and simply give them time to work things out, or if one prefers a stricter approach I can do that too. I have many of my own worksheets and examples that I use to deliver lessons. While I emphasise learning to read music well, it's not the only way to improve and more often than not I employ other methods to teach rhythms and techniques - most importantly, training the ear!

Perfect! Gaspar is a great drum teacher who's skill and versatility allow him to adapt his teaching to whatever style of drumming you're interested in. His patience and ability to convey ideas mean that I've learnt a great deal from my lessons and I'd recommend him to drummers of all skills levels. He's also willing to travel to you which is a big plus.

Ciaran you already with a good understanding of what you wants to achieve and I can see you're excited to get back into playing regularly. Strengthen your left hand and your general coordination.

Perfect! So far my daughter has so far had three drum lessons with Gaspar. His lessons are excellent. He patiently explains everything and my daughter have loved every one. He has adjusted to her needs and sought to find the best ways to cope with the challenges of online lessons.
