Welcome to my website. For those who don't know me, my name is Jonathan Groethe and I am a
BANBURY BASED drum teacher. I offer 'private' pro drum lessons, not drum classes, as everyone is an 'individual' in terms of learning new skills. I strongly believe that teaching ‘one on one’ produces ‘by far’ the best results that enable me to adapt and tailor my approach to match each student and their preferred way of learning and processing information. I have the most
5 star reviews of any drum tutor in the Banbury area, so whether it’s drum lessons for adults or drum lessons for kids, as a beginner, I always manage to find a way forward that is both fun and rewarding and not too stressful for each student. For those concerned about Covid-19, I am fully 'triple' vaccinated, right click the right arrow icon my image on this page to see my vaccination card. Get in touch today to book your first
taster lesson. My studio also has toilet facilities.
I also teach privately at
Christopher Rawlins Primary School and
Bloxham Primary School. I have two
'Child Safeguard' certificates, one from
2019 and most the most recent March
2022, click

'enhanced' DBS/CRB certificates; click

www.mi.edu in the USA. I teach all aspects of drumming from sight-reading, kit tuning; click track work, equipment maintenance, gigging, sessions and everything else drum related. I also do a lot of improvisational work, playing to all manner of artists. I have played in many musical set up's from pit orchestra, classical, Jazz, Rock and Fusion mix. I also offer studio session work. My teaching style is relaxed, professional and individually 'tailored' to each student.
