Drum Lessons with Dave Kirby
Looking for a drum teacher? Look no further than Dave Kirby. I’ve known Dave for over 10 years. I can recommend him 100% – he taught my son and he was fabulous. Excellent teacher, very experienced and patient.
“My approach to drumset tuition draws on my 30 years plus of playing experience and ongoing studies. Focusing firstly on Musicianship, I incorporate Reading, Technique, Snare Drum Rudiments (& their application to the kit) as students progress. I address each student’s needs and formulate a curriculum especially for them. I have successfully assisted students prepare for their HSC performance exams and auditions for Newtown Performing Arts HS.

Jack
“For nearly 3 years my wife and I have watched in awe at Dave’s ability to
understand, inspire and teach children.
Dave has perfected the mix of challenge, motivation and achievement.
EVERY lesson is a step forward. Our son Jack comes away each time with a
great sense of achievement, and excited about practicing (and putting into
practice), the things he has learnt that week.”
