Chris Tunstall - Drum Lessons

About

Over the years, I have worked in a variety of private and state schools across Cheshire. Currently, I teach at Pownall Hall school in Wilmslow and Terra Nova school, near Jodrell Bank. I have taught people who have gone on to become very successful in music, such as Matthew Healy from The 1975. My pupils have included children with dyspraxia, dyslexia and autism, and have ranged in age from 5 to 75 years. Drumming can be beneficial in many ways, both musical and non-musical. My experience has shown me that the benefits extend far beyond the development of timing and rhythm. Other skills that may be enhanced through drumming include: increased physical co-ordination, memory, concentration, sight-reading, empathy and creative imagination. Frequently, I apply musical accompaniment to my lessons, to help pupils gain a sense of what it is like to play in a band. My over all aim is to provide pupils with an insight into what a joyful and - in some cases, life-changing - experience playing music can be.
