Featured Teachers

Mr Riccardo P. is an experienced drum teacher and a performer. He started playing the drums during his teenage years and pursued an education in the field by graduating at Roma Rock School, as well as achieving a short diploma at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. Despite his predilection for rock music and its subgenres, he has grown to appreciate music in a much broader sense, always being open-minded and enthusiastic to get involved in all that surrounds its creation, which surely starts from the teaching process. His ultimate goal is to be able to make students fall in love with this beautiful instrument through an effective combination of hands-on learning and fascinating theory learning about techniques, the components of the drum kit, and music. He believes that, by doing so, students will have learnt and had fun by the end of each lesson and therefore have better results at their grade exams.

Andrew R. has started his music career at a young age and furthered his studies firstly with Rock School and Abrsm grade exams and then achieved a Bachelor's degree in music at the University of Westminister with first-class honours.

Highlights include playing Maida Vale, BBC Introducing stages, Mahogany & COVERS, sessions, appearances on national television, touring internationally, and playing festivals all over the world, including Reading & Leeds Festival. Andrew has also had the pleasure of collaborating with some great artists, such as Lane 8, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, Peter Sandberg, Dan D Lion as well as many more.
