About Ben

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have taught students for a number of years in both 1 to 1 and work scenarios, including a wide array of ages and from beginners to advanced levels. As a professional musician, I am gigging regularly and have played multiple times in prestigious venues such as: Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall and Ronnie Scott's. I have had great experience of studio work also, including some film and advert music.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

No

- Where and with whom did you train?

At the Royal Academy of Music with many prestigious teachers such as Martin France, John Hollenbeck, Ian Thomas, Jeff Williams, Pete Churchill

- Do you belong to any professional organisations?

Musicians Union

- Tell me about some of your current students.

I have a few students currently working through grade books, having recently scored highly on a previous grade.

About the lesson

Hello, my name is Ben Brown, I am 22 and have recently graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and specialize in drums, hand percussion and composition/theory. Please visit my website at (concealed information)

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

As part of my drums/percussion teaching, I teach key subjects such as: technique, reading, coordination, obtaining a good 'feel' and improvisation. As part of my theory/composition teaching I teach all key subjects and approaches to enable you to gain a full understanding of both areas. I can teach any age from a beginner to an advanced level in any style.

- Tell me about your qualifications.

Jazz Percussion from Royal Academy of Music - 1st BMus
Grade 8 Drums: Distinction

- How much do you charge?

£30 an hour. I may ask for a little more for travel costs if it far for me to travel, but this is unlikely.

- Where do you teach?

I teach at a number of different students' houses as well as occasionally teaching in music workshops at community centres etc.

- When are you available?

I am usually quite flexible with my hours.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

Any age from beginner to advanced levels.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

Generally, I consider instrumental teaching much more effective when not simply using grade books, at least initially. My approach gives a considerably more rounded, extensive style of learning. Having said that, once a student is ready to take grades, then I encourage this. This approach has lead to consistently high scores when the grades are then taken. In the past, I have had a number of students work through drum grade books, and also one student who went to music college.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

Skype teaching is also available

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Thank you for reading.

Ben Brown is, without doubt, one of my favourite young jazz drummers. He is musically interactive, highly creative and really listens and supports a performance from beginning to end with great imagination. This young man has a great future of music making ahead of him
