AJW Drum Academy

Andrew is an exceptional musician and an incredible teacher. His lessons are fun, inspiring and his passion for drumming is infectious. Andrew has developed his own systematic program that covers all the skills you need in order to become a great drummer - it is brilliant. He has this great way of blending technical drills with contemporary songs that apply that new skill. I'm so thrilled he is teaching my son to play drums - Andrew's lesson is a highlight of the week. He is such a positive and encouraging teacher. I recommend him highly.

My son has been having lessons with Andrew Warren for eight years now, over half his life! I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough as a tutor, in fact, I have recommended him to many people whose children are now his students. He is personable, friendly and always professional. He has an excellent manner with students which is always patient, encouraging and positive, while always bringing out the best in their playing. It is one thing to be a technically outstanding musician, which he is; it is another thing to be able to communicate that technique to others and Andrew also excels at this. My son has a natural musical gift but Andrew has been able to take his natural talent from strength to strength to strength. We are genuinely very grateful to have him as a tutor and a positive influence in our son's life.

Andrew has been an amazing drum tutor for our son Mitchell. Mitchell commenced learning to play the drums with Andrew 8 years ago when he was only 8 years old. During this time Andrew has instructed, supported and encouraged Mitchell as he developed his drumming skills. He has inspired him to be the musician that he now is and has been instrumental in his successful application for a music scholarship at the school he currently attends. As a musician himself he is amazing but as a tutor and mentor he is outstanding. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone who wants their child to not only learn the drums but to be inspired to become the best possible musician they can in a supportive and encouraging environment.

I am an intermediate drummer and when I began with Andrew in 2015 I was a complete beginner. The progress I have made has been undeniable through Andrews personalized teachings, complete drum knowledge and patience. Andrew truly cares for his students and wants the best out of them and has always made what I want to learn a priority. Will continue to do lessons with Andrew as long as I am playing drums. (My whole life)

Andrew Warren has been a wonderful drum teacher for the past 4 years for our now 13 year old son. He is patient, enthusiastic and encouraging, and really understands how to engage children and get the best out of them. His knowledge and skills are excellent. He creates a fun atmosphere in the lesson while remaining professional. I would highly recommend him. We couldn't ask for better.—Nicole
