Student-driven lessons with professional support

I know what it's like to be a mentee, so as a mentor, I set out to tick all the boxes:

  • Refined technical ability
  • Theoretical understanding
  • Genuine enjoyment and progression

CLEAR SKILL PROGRESSION

I focus on measurable progress and building genuine confidence - most students end up playing their first song within a few lessons.

STUDENT-LED, TUTOR-GUIDED

Motivation comes from autonomy. Students choose the direction, and I provide the roadmap and professional technique to get them there.

BETTER THAN SCREEN TIME

A productive alternative to iPad time that supports mental and social development.

ALL AGES, ALL ABILITIES

With over a year of teaching experience at multiple academies, I've taught from ages 5-52 with varying abilities, personalities and learning styles.

Gabriel Barros - drum teacher in Success, Perth

About Gabriel

Hi, I'm Gabriel, a 20 year old Bachelor of Psychology student at Curtin University who runs private drum lessons from my home in Success.

I started playing in year 3 at Mater Christi Primary School, where drumming became a vehicle for me to immerse myself in music and experience a passion for a discipline at a young age like nothing else.

During high school, I won several scholarships and awards for solo and band performances at Emmanuel Catholic College, even playing gigs outside of school for venues in Fremantle and the Royal Show.

And so after high school, I left my supermarket job to pursue personal and professional development which eventually led to sharing my passion with the next generation of musicians!

Since 2025, I've opened up slots for private lessons and I now pride myself on the connections I make with students on top of making sure they experience an enjoyable, comprehensive mentoring program that will support them throughout their musical journey. Whether it stays a hobby or becomes a potential career!

Outside of drumming, I am a Portuguese interpreter, St John volunteer and NDIS support worker. I love cinematography and visual art as well as going to the gym, cooking and video games.

Located in Success

Located in the heart of Success, I'm just a 2-minute walk from Jandakot Primary. With several schools within a 15-minute drive, you could have your lessons right after school!

Bob the Cat

Bob is a friendly neighbourhood cat who sometimes crosses the road to greet students as they come in for lessons.

He might just greet you at the door before you come in, see if you can spot him!

A Unique Edge

How being an interpreter, psychology student, NDIS support worker and St John volunteer makes me a better teacher.

Tap to expand

Being an interpreter, psychology student, NDIS support worker and St John volunteer gives me a unique perspective when working with kids and adults from diverse backgrounds and abilities that sets me apart from other teachers.

Not only do I include curriculum material and teaching methods that other tutors may not consider...

I've found that being able to be extremely dynamic, receptive, patient and creative with everyone has made me quite skilled at responding to individualised interactions.

This ability is what I believe makes me an extremely articulate and effective teacher.

So regardless if you're 5 or 50, or have differing abilities, I'm sure we can find a way to make your drumming dreams come true!
