TUITION
I teach private lessons – both 1-2-1 and continual, from my studio in Kingston Seymour, North Somerset. As Head Of Drums at BIMM Bristol, teaching up to Degree level and with my P.G. Cert. (Ed), I take my teaching seriously. My monthly articles in Drummer Magazine and as the tuition editor for the mag give me an outlet for my constantly evolving ideas and concepts, resulting in my book ‘Mind Over Meter’.
I’m keen to make sure that the student gets what they want from lessons, starting with goal setting and key areas for development, via email, before the lessons commence. Styles, Co-ordination, Reading, Meter, Recording (the studio is fully equipped to record audio/video) – you name it.
If you are keen to have lessons – please email me at – james@jameshester.co.uk

Hi Bart – yep, I totally know how it is!!!
Well plans are there to do whatever in the future – if there’s a call for it, certainly! I’ll be making some plans over the summer (or possibly for the summer – I’ll drop you a line if that suits you?
Thanks for getting in contact – do you have ‘Mind Over Meter’?
