Feel Right At Home

Located in the heart of Labrador, Gold Coast, my home based garage studio offers a cozy, casual and inspiring environment for you to explore the world of drumming. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, my home studio is the perfect place to hone your skills.

The studio is equipped with:

Two high-quality electronic kits…
 Great monitoring and headphones…
 A big screen for music notation…
 A full library of drum books…
 A desk and laptop…
 Comfortable seating for parents or visitors…
 Plenty of airflow…

Is it a proper studio?

It is a home studio located in the garage. It is not a commercial property. It is equipped with everything needed to make it a functional teaching studio and give you best quality lessons. In the future I may move into a commercial building, but for now both myself and my clients are really happy with this studio. It’s private, comfortable, and an excellent learning environment. I think you will feel the same once you are here.

What to Expect When You Visit

If you arrive early, you can wait in your car until the lesson time. There is plrenty of street parking. I will meet you at the front gate right on time, no need to text or call when you arrive. Once inside, lessons usually run in two parts: we start with the technical stuff, and then move on to the musical side. The lessons are completely tailored to you – let me know if you have any preferences.

What do I need to bring?

No need to bring anything. If you want you can bring a list of music you like, this can help me taylor the lessons for you. Wear comfortable clothes suitable for activity.

My Teaching Methods

I have created a systematic but flexible method to simplify and structure the technical components of drumming and emphasize creative expression. This creates an enjoyable experience and helps the student achieve their goals. 

Lessons are customised to each student and include a good blend of technical and musical components to foster growth and a passion for music.

Lessons are offered for total beginners to advanced levels and can cover a wide variety of musical styles such as rock, pop, jazz, latin, metal, funk, blues, electronic and anything in between.

What Students Say

★★★★★

“I’ve been taking drum lessons with Jasper at Sono Music for almost two years now. I absolutely love the lessons- Jasper is an amazing teacher with his patience, enthusiasm, and encouragement. I enjoy the learning process by choosing my favorite songs to learn at my own pace…. I would definitely recommend Jasper- he’s absolutely my favorite drum teacher!”

– Yuan Liu

★★★★★

“My son’s drum lessons are great, Jasper is so patient and asks what songs he wants to learn which keeps him motivated. In two years, he has progressed so much and is always challenged with more difficult songs. He has even performed a couple of times in their showcase band performances. He loves learning to play and we would definitely recommend!”

– G Mc

★★★★★

Jasper is an encouraging and effective teacher who has helped to advance my drumming skills and techniques in a way that has been highly enjoyable for me. My hand/feet coordination have improved vastly and Jasper has taught me these skills while keeping in mind my own taste in music.”

– Sophie Taylor

★★★★★

I am a working musician and guitar player in the Brisbane area with quite a bit of experience teaching and learning various instruments. 

So when starting drum lessons i had a pretty good idea of what I wanted from them, and wanted to improve on. 

I was after improvement, no matter the method. From day one, Jasper has tailored everything we work at to my goals, and every lesson im left with tired legs and mentally drained, which is exactly what i want, 30 minutes of hard work and improvement. 

There is very little steering of the direction of the lessons from me, Jasper knows what i want and knows how to get me there . Hes a lovely hard working, focused dude, and knocks it out of the park every time.

Our daughter has been learning drums with Jasper for several years, in fact she followed him to Sono from his previous teaching location.  He lets her choose music she likes and drummming styles that interest her. Our daughter experiences performance anxiety but Jasper is always patient and doesn’t push her too far outside of her comfort zone. We would highly recommend Jasper and also the Sono school which is well organzied and professional.

– Genevieve Dingle

★★★★★
We are so happy to have found such an amazing drum teacher for our 7-year-old son! He is incredibly patient, kind, and always keeps the lessons fun and engaging. Our son looks forward to every session and is learning so much while genuinely enjoying himself. It’s clear that the teacher knows how to work with kids and make music exciting for them. We 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a great drum teacher.
