John Arnesen Music

Hi, I’m John and I play drums.

I have been teaching drum lessons professionally since 2002, and I’m an in-demand session drummer based in the city of Leeds, UK.

Learning drums with me will be fun, challenging, and rewarding. In your drum lessons we will draw out and build on your natural abilities, and develop a solid musical foundation for self-expression on the drum kit.

With a patient, friendly and confident manner I will help you reach your goals, no matter if you are a complete beginner, just playing drums for fun, or studying for drum grades or a degree in music.

I teach drum students from the age of 6 years old. After that, age is no object. Older humans definitely can learn new tricks!
