Seonaid MacPherson — BMus, LTCL, ATCL

I'm a drum kit and percussion specialist from Argyll, and have spent many years teaching across local authority music services. Working with everyone from complete beginners, to preparing pupils towards graded examinations, auditions and University courses.

My approach is patient, practical and rooted in real playing. Lessons are tailored to you: the music you want to play, the pace that suits you, and clear steps forward every week. Whether it's drum kit, snare, or tuned percussion, the aim is the same — to help you play with confidence and enjoyment.

Testimonials

What Mid-Argyll parents say

Seonaid is friendly and very patient with the kids, creating a calm and encouraging learning environment. My daughter's confidence has grown noticeably since starting her drumming lessons, and she always comes out feeling positive. I'd happily recommend Argyll Rhythm to other families.
Parent · Mid-Argyll
His confidence is so much stronger down to drumming and the sense of achievement and control it gives him, so I can only thank you for that!
Parent · Mid-Argyll
Just wanted to say thank you so much. It's lovely to have a group music lesson that is well structured and inclusive of each child's needs.
Parent · Mid-Argyll
My daughter absolutely loved it! She hasn't stopped talking about it and is so keen to come back.
