Why Drum Lessons?

Drum lessons offer a powerful way to enhance creativity, coordination, and confidence while providing a unique outlet for self-expression. They challenge the mind and body, improving focus and discipline, and serve as an excellent stress reliever, releasing endorphins and reducing anxiety. Whether for personal enjoyment, professional growth, or exploring a new skill, drumming is a transformative experience that enriches both mental and emotional wellbeing

  • Rosie Roberts

    “I found Ymarfer Music on google when looking for 1-1 drum lessons for my 12 year old son, who has ASD, ADHD, and Tourettes. Due to him often losing his focus, it was important to us that we had a teacher who has some experience with neurodiversity, and could keep him engaged during lessons. Dan has been welcoming, patient, friendly, and demonstrates a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our son has engaged really well, maintaining his focus and putting real effort into his learning. He started learning his grade 1 piece after only his second lesson, which is just amazing, and has really boosted his confidence.
    The studio is immaculately clean and there is plenty of room for us to sit in on the lessons, which is nice. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Dan and seeing my sons progress over the coming months.”

  • Courtney Knight

  • Maddison Carrol

    “Absolutely incredible! Dan makes the lessons so fun and easy to follow. It’s a non pressured environment and Dan is an amazing drum teacher. Couldn’t recommend more!”
