Instruments from the Percussion family make their sound by being hit, scraped or shaken. They are played all over the world, in all types of music.

Percussion instruments can be tuned. This means they can play lots of pitched notes, like a xylophone or glockenspiel. Or they can be untuned, like drums, playing only one pitch.

    G’Day. My name is Keith and I teach drums and beginner guitar. I started playing drums when I was 9 and started teaching others when I was 20. So I’ve been teaching drums for nearly 30 years and playing in bands since I started to learn. Playing music is fun, playing drums is fun so I believe that music lessons should also be FUN! I believe that playing music is something you share and I encourage all my students to become involved in bands or to perform at YRC Student Concerts. I personally play in a local band called “The Young Ones” and we do gigs throughout the year (mainly weddings and balls) and much fun is had by all members. I teach all styles of music on drum kit from classical through to country, rock, metal and also tribal drumming. Learning music gave me a new lease on life when I was young and it can do the same for you. Come and learn the best instrument of them all, the drums!!!
