School lessons || The Drum Practice

Music is for everyone and is imperative in supporting learning and development. I have a degree in Music Performance, 20 years of experience working in the disability sector and I am currently studying towards a Master of Education.

The Drum Practice offers school sessions as part of school extracurricular activity. These sessions encourage accessibility and inclusivity. Learning to play an instrument along-side education has many benefits.
Learning music will develop:

self-empowerment, self-discipline, trust, patience, supportive interaction, communication and relationship building,coordination and motor skills,improved confidence, cooperation and collaboration.

As part of my passion and career direction, I also specialise in developing students with disability. Pricing is school and program-specific so please contact me to enquire and find out more.

Testimonials

“Brendan is a fantastic teacher, he is extremely knowledgeable and has an amazing skill for giving clear and easy to understand instruction. I always look forward to my lessons and come out after feeling pumped and that I am really learning! He'll constantly motivate you, support you, and help you achieve your goals. I cannot recommend Brendan enough to anyone who wishes to learn to play the drums!”Jo Barret

“I came to Brendan with zero drumming experience about 2 years ago and have been practising with him ever since. Brendan is a great teacher, mentor, and all-round human being and he will not only teach you how to play the drums, but also build that passion and love for the instrument and music in general.”Sasri Priyono

“I have been receiving tuition from Brendan for the past 16 months now and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience thus far. Brendan is not only a great teacher, but also a great motivator and always knows how to push me to the next level when I’m lacking inspiration. He is never hesitant to answer my calls or help me even during his personal time.”Billy Juric

“I studied with Brendan for almost 2 years and to be honest I’m beyond grateful for the experience. He is very knowledgable about the craft and always keeps his lessons very dynamic and fun. He would always be there when I needed advice, not only about music but about life in general. I’d strongly recommend anyone who wishes to start taking lessons to get in touch with him, I’m sure you’ll have a great time.”Ivan Cadau
