Drum Lessons for Adults

All ages of students are always taught that no matter what age, anything is achievable with practice and application of the techniques and approaches taught.
Being taught by anyone younger can sometimes be a daunting factor. Mark ensures every student has full confidence in his teaching ability from the very first lesson. And like most professionals, rewards hard work and positive attitudes.

“Late 50s and decide to take up drums. Interesting and occasionally scary prospect!! But Mark Spiteri is an excellent drum teacher – encouraging, supportive, makes lessons a pleasure and probably best of all, provides a teaching and learning environment which encourages me to keep going and to keep enjoying the process.”

“After many years of being a so-so “drummer”, I found I had hit that ceiling. I was really needing help.
I have been working with Mark for about 3 months now. Every time I have a lesson I am literally blown away by his knowledge and the pyschology of “common sense” drumming. He effectively is rebuilding my skills from the ground up.
I am able to walk away each time with some new skills and plenty to practice on (and I have practiced allot since). I didn’t mention my lessons to the band till a little while back when they noticed how much more solid the groove in our music had become, and that now I am less tired and can play much longer than before.
I hope to be able to do the simple things on a drum kit brilliantly and flawlessly, and the more complex things should build from there.
His fees are reasonable, and his friendly nature makes his teaching so much less intimidating than other teachers.
I give Mark the highest of recommendation.”
