About Jordan

I've been playing drums for 18 years. In the past 10 years I've taught over 200 students, with ages ranging from 5-85 and skill levels from absolute beginner to more advanced players. I have seen consistent growth in all of my students, in their ability and in the enrichment & joy that music brings them.

I am fully DBS checked.

I have been teaching drums for 10 years now & have experience teaching over 200 people between the ages of 5 - 85.

My particular approach is centred around methods of practice, experiential learning and energy in the body.

I have learnt to play and continue to practice through states of awareness & ingraining motions in an effortless way. Learning music as a malleable language has freed me up to listen to what is going on around me and respond from an authentic place when it is time to play.

Too often music is taught in a rigid manor, students are taught to think too much and use their minds in the wrong way and it is to the detriment of their enjoyment and being present with the sound & instrument when they play.

You'd be surprised at how many people are completely somewhere else while playing.

Fear is often an obstacle, many people feel restricted in their activities and unable to express themselves.

Those who transcend this barrier of fear and ego tend to have a much more enjoyable time playing, and the result is that this is reflected in the music. The practice of making music can be a truly nourishing experience, or a troubling and stressful one. It all depends on the approach.

Drumming is especially useful in calming the nervous system and helping us to get in touch with our bodies.

Music is about expression, as your mentor my constant focus would be on helping you find your expression and giving you the tools to bring that out on the drums in the most organic way.

Everybody learns differently, I am very open in my communication and direct in tailoring the approach we take to best suit you.

A frantic mind is usually a symptom of energetic blocks and unresolved trauma. Drumming is a way of engaging with the energy that is undeniably there. It is a complete experience to play music. While playing drums, you are using every part of yourself! It is the ultimate way to embody music, and the earliest form of it.

I teach all skill levels, this is not really a point of contention for me.
My main desire is to teach willing, interested and introspective people who are looking to develop themselves and enjoy the process of learning and overcoming obstacles, no matter how trained your limbs may currently be!

Yes, this may sound a little woo woo. I am enamoured with the practices of Yoga, Buddhism and TCM..
When I began to really practice the drums, I was not aware that what I was really doing was meditating on movements/ rhythmic mantras. I love the relationship between the body, the mind,
and the spirit of the sound. I love the communication that can happen between people who know and speak this wonderful language.

I have a Higher Diploma & a Degree in Contemporary Music Performance, and while this experience opened me up to all different kinds of music and connected me with lots of wonderful musicians -
the main thing I took away was ways that I DIDN'T want to learn, or teach others. SO DRY AND EXPRESSIONLESS!!!

Lessons with me are fun. Just ask Will, who is currently studying drums at Leeds Conservatoire.
"I always look forward to my lessons with Jordan, he has really helped me in bringing my drumming along and developing my own style of playing. He's supportive in his approach and gives me all the tools I need to be the best drummer I can be. Thank you Jordan!"

I also play other instruments, write music and am currently at a wonderful music studio so these lessons are not even exclusive to drummers by any stretch.
If you are looking to develop your piano/ guitar/ bass playing in an interesting rhythmical manner then I am your guy!

Learn to speak the language with me.
I'm excited to meet you!
