OUR VISION
AJW Drum Academy Vision – High-Quality Drum Tuition for All Styles
At AJW Drum Academy, our vision is to provide exceptional drum education that spans all genres and musical styles. We are committed to offering students a comprehensive and personalized approach to learning the art of drumming.
WHAT WE DO
Founded by Andrew Warren, AJW Drum Academy was created out of a deep love for drumming and music. Andrew’s goal was to build a studio that not only nurtures aspiring drummers but also offers opportunities for both current and former students to teach and inspire others. This creates a unique, supportive community where passion for music is shared and passed on.
Andrew personally mentors all tutors, ensuring they teach using his proven, successful drum syllabus. Developed and refined over 25 years, this syllabus is regularly updated with the latest techniques and materials to provide students with fresh, effective lessons.
At AJW Drum Academy, we recognize that each student is unique. That’s why we offer a tailored approach to learning that allows each drummer to progress at their own pace, ensuring a personalised and engaging experience for beginners and advanced players alike.
