Graham Fielden's Profile

Background:

Hi, I love drums, I have been drumming since the age of 7. I have gigged all over the UK. Toured Denmark, Holland, Germany. Played US bases in Turkey, jammed on Bourbon St, New Orleans. Had residencies in Malta and Australia. Recorded for RCA on hit records in Denmark, Holland, South Africa and Germany. I am a professional tutor and musician. I have taught many students over the years, I currently have over 20 students of varying ages and abilities. I use Rockschool, Trinity Music, MTB, The Percussive Societies 40 Drum Rudiments and tailor the lessons to suit the students by writing excercises to help them develop. Most important is to make the lessons fun. When students master a piece which has been proving difficult, or pass an exam it gives me a buzz and makes my job worthwhile. I play in a rock/pop band three nights per week so keep up to date with current trends. My last three students to take exams were Joe - Rockschool Grade 5 Distinction, George - Rockschool Grade 5 Merit and Anna Rockschool Grade 3 Merit.
