Graeme Porter Graeme Porter - Drums

Graeme's formative music years were spent as a brass player, where he achieved considerable success in solo competitions at a state and national level. Playing in orchestras and cabaret groups enriched his experiences and musical education. Early adulthood led Graeme to convert to the drums with two years of excellent training with Harry Lebler in Brisbane during the early 1970s. Performing with well established pop/rock groups and jazz ensembles soon followed.

Professionally, Graeme trained as a mainstream high school teacher but after five years converted to instrumental music teaching which he has now been doing for almost 30 years. Graeme is very passionate about helping beginner to intermediate drum student's form solid foundation skills that will assist them to become either competent hobbyists or professional musicians, which ever they should choose to be.

Stay tuned for more teacher information!
