About Gideon
Hello, I'm Ayodeji Gideon. My deep understanding of music comes from a lifelong journey of overcoming challenges and celebrating breakthroughs. This personal experience is the foundation of my teaching philosophy. For over six years, I have been guiding students—including those from diverse multinational backgrounds—to find their voice and their beat. I don't just teach music; I share a journey. I'll equip you with the skills, confidence, and passion you need to not only play, but truly connect with the music you create.

My teaching approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. I believe that every student has unique goals and learning styles, which is why I design each lesson to be a personalized journey. Whether you're a complete beginner eager to learn your first beat, an intermediate player looking to master complex rhythms and techniques, or a seasoned musician wanting to deepen your theoretical knowledge, I am here to guide you. We'll work together to build a strong foundation, focusing on everything from proper technique and timing to ear training and rhythm exercises.
My lessons are built around your interests. I want you to have fun and feel inspired. We can work on learning your favorite songs, exploring different genres—from rock and jazz to Latin, Swing, Calypso, and African rhythms—or simply jamming to build your confidence. You'll not only learn to play the drums, but you'll also gain a deeper appreciation for music as a whole. My ultimate goal is to empower you to become a confident, creative, and dynamic musician who is able to express themselves authentically through rhythm.

Gideon showed me music is about creativity, combining theory and practical drumming to unlock improvisation. His contagious passion pushed me to become a better musician.
One of my friend recommended Gideon to me that he's a great percussion tutor, I reached out to him, in fact, he met above my expectations.. My drum set skill has greatly improved. All thanks to Gideon.
You should get in touch with him if you are looking to improve on your drum skill.If you are struggling with rhythms, Gideon is the right person to reach out to. Gideon has been my tutor on drums for over 7 months now. I now play the drums like a pro now from beginners level. He's currently preparing me for ABRSM Grade 7 practical exam..
I can assure you, he's one of the best tutor you'd ever come in contact with.I am grateful for the progress I’ve made under Gideon’s guidance. Within a short period, I was able to move from struggling with basic note reading to confidently interpreting sheet music and applying it to the drum set. His patience and clarity made even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. The results speak for themselves — I play better, think musically, and feel more confident as a drummer
Gideon is not just a tutor, but a mentor who truly inspires growth. His lessons go beyond technique — he instills confidence, discipline, and passion in his students. With his help, I moved from struggling with basic drum rudiments to playing with precision, creativity, and freedom. His strong emphasis on music theory also gave me the tools to understand music on a deeper level, making me a much more versatile musician.
Learning drums and music theory from Mr Gideon has been a life-changing experience for me. Before working with him, I often felt stuck and unsure of how to improve, but his step-by-step teaching style gave me the confidence to progress steadily. He not only sharpened my technical drumming skills but also helped me build a strong foundation in music theory, which has completely transformed how I play and listen to music. What stands out the most is his passion for teaching and the way he genuinely cares about the growth of his students.
Gideon is quite knowledgible on the drums with a good sense of rhythm, he also has a very nice touch to teaching it as well. I worked with him a number of times and I recommend him.
As a student of Gideon, I can confidently say he is an exceptional tutor who knows how to bring out the best in his students. When I started, I had little knowledge of music theory and struggled with timing and coordination on the drums. Through his clear explanations, creative exercises, and consistent encouragement, I have seen incredible improvement in both areas. Today, I can read music, understand complex rhythmic patterns, and play with a level of confidence I never thought possible. His teaching has not only improved my skills but also deepened my love for music.
I can't say enough good things about Gideon as a music tutor. I started his class with no prior knowledge of the drum set, and his patient and thorough guidance has been instrumental in my progress. He has a gift for teaching complex topics, like different rhythms and music theory, in a way that's easy to understand. I'm now confidently playing at an intermediate level, and it's all thanks to his dedication. Anyone looking for a truly effective and supportive music teacher should look no further than Gideon.
