More Than Just Learning Songs.

Lessons develop the technical, musical and practical skills that allow students to become confident, independent musicians.

​

Technique. Musicianship. Literacy. Application. Independence. Creativity.

Practice-Centered.

A lesson provides instruction, feedback and direction.

The development happens through what the student does with that instruction afterwards.

​

Students are encouraged to develop purposeful practice habits, reflect on their progress and increasingly take ownership of their learning.

A Teaching Practice Built Around Progression.

Whether you're learning for enjoyment, working towards graded exams, preparing for university or simply want to become a better drummer, there should always be a clear sense of where you're going next.

Lasting Relationships.

Carter sees his role as more than teaching drums- he’s a mentor who invests in his students both during lessons and long after they leave.

The discipline and growth mindset developed through drumming build confidence, perseverance, and skills that carry into every area of life.

An Educator First.

Carter has been teaching professionally for the better part of a decade, delivering thousands of individual lessons and working with students across a range of ages, abilities and ambitions.

​

Every lesson provides another opportunity to refine the approach, test a system, understand a different learner and become a better educator.

Built For Long-Term Development.

Carter Skillicorn Drum Tuition was officially established in 2021 and has developed into a dedicated teaching practice serving students in Edinburgh and beyond. 

​

Students have begun their journey here, and went all the way to further study and careers.
