Drum Easy in Schools

Drum Easy in Schools brings specialist drum tutors directly into your school to deliver small-group, curriculum-friendly drum lessons using the Drum Easy method. Sessions are designed to work in real school conditions — limited space, mixed abilities, and varying confidence levels — with a strong focus on inclusion, visual learning, and measurable progress.

Schools receive a consistent, structured programme delivered by trained Drum Easy tutors, with clear term goals, simple equipment requirements, and a format that works equally well for mainstream and SEND students.

How Drum Easy Works in Schools

Drum Easy lessons are delivered by trained Drum Easy tutors and structured specifically for the realities of school teaching. Sessions run in small groups, use a highly visual method, and are designed to be inclusive, low-pressure, and easy for students to engage with from the very first lesson.

✔ Small-group tuition – typically up to 4 students per session to maximise engagement and progress
✔ Inclusive by design – suitable for SEND, neurodivergent students, and mixed-ability groups
✔ Minimal space & equipment – works in classrooms, practice rooms, or music departments
✔ Clear term structure – lessons follow defined goals so progress is visible and measurable
✔ Consistent delivery – all tutors are trained in the Drum Easy method for reliable outcomes
✔ No prior experience needed – students can start from complete beginner level

Drum Easy was built specifically for teaching drums in real school environments — not adapted from private lessons or traditional exam systems. The method removes unnecessary complexity and focuses on clarity, confidence, and steady progress, allowing students of all abilities to succeed together.

✔ A visual-first method – reduces reliance on traditional notation and supports different learning styles
✔ Designed for mixed-ability groups – no student is left behind or held back
✔ SEND-aware from the ground up – shaped by extensive experience teaching neurodivergent students
✔ Low-pressure progression – students build skills without the anxiety often attached to formal grading
✔ Consistent outcomes across schools – the same structure, language, and approach wherever it’s delivered
✔ Built for engagement, not intimidation – lessons are practical, musical, and confidence-boosting

Why Drum Easy is different

Drum Easy is designed to be accessible from the outset, making it particularly effective for students with SEND and additional learning needs. Lessons prioritise clarity, routine, and visual communication, helping students feel secure, supported, and capable of making progress at their own pace.

✔ Visual learning approach – reduces cognitive load and supports students who struggle with written notation
✔ Clear structure & repetition – helps students who benefit from routine and predictability
✔ Low sensory pressure – lessons are adaptable for students sensitive to noise or overstimulation
✔ Confidence-led progression – emphasis on success and understanding rather than speed or comparison
✔ Inclusive group settings – SEND and non-SEND students can learn together without barriers
✔ Adaptable delivery – tutors adjust pacing and communication to meet individual needs

SEND & Inclusion

Drum Easy is designed as a long-term provision rather than a short-term enrichment activity. The programme is structured to remain consistent, affordable, and easy to manage over multiple terms, even as students and timetables change.

✔ Reliable staffing model – trained Drum Easy tutors deliver lessons consistently across the school year
✔ Clear lesson structure – no reliance on individual tutor styles or improvised teaching
✔ Works with school timetables – flexible session lengths and group formats
✔ Scales without disruption – easy to expand groups or year levels as demand grows
✔ Minimal admin burden – straightforward setup and ongoing delivery
✔ Built for continuity – students can join or rejoin the programme without starting from scratch

What Makes Drum Easy Sustainable for Schools

Drum Easy is designed to fit easily into existing school spaces and routines, with minimal setup and disruption. Sessions can be delivered in a wide range of environments without the need for specialist facilities.

✔ Space – a classroom, practice room, or small hall space is sufficient
✔ Equipment – a single drum kit is used, with shared learning built into the lesson format
✔ Noise management – suitable for controlled-volume environments and adaptable where needed
✔ Group size – typically up to 4 students per session
✔ Session length – flexible to fit school timetables
✔ Setup time – minimal setup and pack-down required
