About Me
Drum Teacher Banbury
My name is Jonathan Groethe. I am a Professional Drum Educator & Personal Tutor operating throughout the Banbury area and surrounding counties.
Learning a musical instrument such as drums is a fulfilling and lifelong gift, which no one can take away from you. I am extremely passionate about delivering and empowering young and mature minds through the dynamism of drumming and musical creativity across all genres. Moreover, drums, in particular, are well documented to help the body, mind, and soul for anyone who is willing to give it a go!
I currently teach privately at One Man Band Music Shop in Banbury from Monday to Friday and other primary, secondary and private schools around the Oxfordshire area. I am twice CRB registered, click on CRB/DBS certificates in the menu bar above. I am more than happy to provide references if necessary.
I believe everyone has rhythm and I can get it out of them! It's never too late to start either. I teach from age 6 upwards using varying methods that I have acquired from a classically based education and over 25 years drumming. Sight-reading & all styles are offered.
I teach students all aspects of drumming from kit tuning; click track work, equipment maintenance, gigging, sessions and everything else drum related. I also do a lot of improvisational work, playing to all manner of artists. It's hard work but is really fun and extremely rewarding!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I have been taught by Jonathan for the last 5 years, I started as a complete beginner, but have learned so much due to his expert tuition. He also has a vast knowledge music so Jonathan can easily pair up a particular technique to a song to make learning a lot more interesting. I would recommend lessons with Jonathan to anyone, whether starting out or improving skills you already have.

EXCELLENT Excellent teacher. My son loves his lessons and he plays drums professionally for our church.
Jonathan makes him feel comfortable and at ease, always cheerful and creates an exciting environment to ensure his students get the most from their lessons.
Testimonial
EXCITING, FUN AND INTERESTING My son, aged ten, has been having lessons with Jonathan for over eighteen months. During this time not only has he greatly improved in terms of his technical skills and ability, but also Jonathan has introduced him to a huge range of music. My son through Jonathan is learning more than just how to play the drums, he is becoming a well-rounded musician. Jonathan's knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm are pivotal in my son's musical development. He has a great student-centered teaching style and ensures that lessons are both fun and appropriately challenging.
I asked my son what words three words he would use to describe his lessons and he replied "interesting, fun and exciting!".

GREAT TEACHER. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Jono taught my son for 5 years. He was fantastically professional and patient as well as pushing my son to do better each week. He also instilled a love of music in my son that has broadened his listening choices and made his drumming repertoire more extensive.

Testimonial
"At first I was apprehensive about learning with a private teacher. But after just 5 minutes of my first lesson, I quickly got over my fears and began to appreciate the first-rate attention and guidance."
Testimonial
"Levi enjoys playing and learning drums from Jonathan. He looks forward to the drum lessons every week as Jonathan is very friendly and fun to be with. Jonathan is a great teacher."
Testimonial
"My son Tom is enjoying his drum lessons very much. He's left-handed too but this wasn't a problem as Jonathan has a second left-handed drum kit. He makes the whole experience fun and relaxing. Tom is making great progress and I have no problem recommending Jonathan to anyone wishing to learn the drums."
Testimonial
"Jon's been teaching me drums since I first started at the age of 12, and I'm still learning and improving my ability with him today. The lessons are great, focusing on drumming technique and then applying that to a number of tunes, old and the occasional new one!. Jon allows you to develop at your own pace, understanding that occasionally brain cramp does occur! His enthusiasm for drums will inspire you if nothing else and so I couldn't recommend him more for anyone wanting drum tuition."

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED This guy knows everything about drumming and helped me improve quickly. Easily the best drum teacher in the area.
Testimonial
"Jonathan is very friendly, easy to get along with, showing patience and calmness with me, which gives his lessons a relaxed feel to them. He shows great enthusiasm and passion for playing the drums, which has a positive effect on me. He is good at interpreting the information from the workbook so that it is easier to understand. One of the best parts of his lessons is drumming along to music with him, it makes the lessons more fun and enjoyable and helps me to learn exercises quicker. Within in a short period of time of having lessons with Jonathan I felt my drumming skills had improved considerably."
Testimonial
