Teacher's Biography:
Welcome to my Crayford drum lessons drum teacher profile.
My name is James ‘Jim’ Okusanya and my interest in music started from the age of 3 when I got his first drum kit. My parents were heavily involved in the church and by the age of 10 I was playing drums and keyboards regularly at church on a strictly self taught basis. This gave me the opportunity to develop the skill of ‘playing by ear’.
It was during my college years that I began to meet other musicians, focus on the drums properly and play professionally and in church functions, open mic nights, concerts and in various bands. Since then I have continued my musical journey, gaining more knowledge and insight and sharing this information through teaching.
I love the drums not only because it is a way for me to freely express myself but also it is a never ending journey of constant learning and growth. There’s always something new to learn and always a way to build on what you know already.
I will forever be learning and sharing my knowledge of music and the drums.
