Samantha - Drum Student
Tim has built rapport which just goes to show what a great motivator and mentor he is. Someone who truly understands how to engage with his students. It's more than a drum lesson for our son, it's a boost for his self-esteem and a safe space to thrive. Thank you Tim for being A class! 😉

About
Meet Tim Horne
Hi, I’m Tim Horne, a professional music teacher based in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, offering engaging and inclusive music lessons for early years, primary, and secondary students. I specialise in percussion, drumming, and rhythm-based learning, with experience across jazz, classical, samba, and world music. My lessons combine singing, drumming, and ensemble playing to help students build confidence, coordination, and a strong musical foundation. Whether you’re looking for a drum teacher in Hook, Hampshire or creative music lessons that inspire young learners, I provide personalised sessions that encourage creativity, teamwork, and a lifelong love of music.
What I Offer
Community Drums
Interested in community drumming in Reading or Rushmoor? I co-lead Beatroots Bateria with Readipop, offering inclusive samba drumming workshops for adults of all abilities. You’ll learn authentic Brazilian rhythms, build confidence, and experience the energy of playing in a live percussion ensemble—no experience needed. From your first session, you’ll be part of a supportive community, with opportunities to perform at exciting local events and festivals.
Ableton Lessons
I offer personalised Ableton lessons designed to help you create, record, and produce your own music with confidence. Whether you’re a complete beginner or developing your skills, each session is tailored to your goals—covering everything from beat-making and arrangement to mixing and workflow in a clear, supportive environment.
