Matthew Rusk Student Entrepreneur in Residence

Today was an important day in the development of MusicTeacher.com, with the launch of our first new music hub since the new platform went live to the public. We are delighted to have started working with local drum teacher Jack Grossman, to help teach drum students of all learning abilities from his central Southampton teaching space. With many years of teaching and drumming experience, Jack has a real passion for playing the drums – having been inspired by drummers like Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters – and has set his sights on passing that knowledge on to future drummers.

We are delighted to have launched Drum Lessons Southampton with him, which marks a significant point as being the first post lockdown music hub for us to open across the entire business. I am certainlly confident that over the coming weeks and months that students will return in their pre-lockdown numbers to attend in-person music lessons with their chosen teacher.

For many teachers, it will mean rebuilding from only a fraction of their previous student numbers, however, as long as the demand returns their books will quickly fill back up again. Alongside this, their skills that teachers have developed during lockdown around teaching online and providing resources to students outside of lessons will stand them in good stead to continue to improve their student retention and engagement between lessons. I am really positive about the future for private music teachers and delighted to have started the road to recovery by launching Drum Lessons Southampton with Jack.
