Hew Charles-Walsh - Drums
Hi everyone! I’m Huw, a drummer of 13 years and an educator for 4.
I love music, I love to play the drums, and I love showing my students how
easy it is to pick up a new instrument and start a journey of self
development through incorporating music into their lives.
During the last 4 years of teaching full time, I have helped people of all
ages and walks of life to start playing the drums and navigate the process
of learning a new instrument. I have taken students of mine from their very
first lesson to completing AMEB courses all the way up to 4th grade, and
helped others be accepted into Monash and the Melbourne Conservatory
of Music
After I had completed my B.A. of Music from the Melbourne
Conservatorium of Music and studied privately for a year with
internationally renown drummer Rick Dior in the US, I accumulated a broad
understanding of the available texts, methods and syllabuses, new and
old, that have been used to teach many of the great drummers of past and
present, all around the world. This means I am able to cater my lessons to
the individual goals of the student. I can help you develop beautiful and
flowing technique that makes playing the drums effortless and satisfying,
teach you to play with good feel and keep a solid rhythm, and give you all
the right things to practice so that you don’t spend any time expending
energy and effort to no avail.
Above all however, the most satisfying part of teaching for me is seeing
my students enjoy themselves and have fun. As the last two years have
shown for us, having activities to do that bring you joy are invaluable and
worth cultivating as an investment in a rich and meaningful life.
Please check out two videos that I have recently uploaded to my YouTube
channel if you would like to see my teaching in action, and maybe even
start your drumming journey from there.
