About Az

Stoke Newington drum teacher Az Khan MMus is a drummer with years of experience in teaching, recording and live performance.

Early in his career Az won a scholarship to study at Drumtech before proceeding to complete his Bachelor’s degree at London College of Music. He stuck with London College of Music and recently received his MMus. As a result of musically-focused education Az believes the most important part of learning an instrument is finding the right teacher.

Az is experienced in teaching a range of abilities and ages, including children with learning disabilities. He is experienced in both the RSL Awards and Trinity College London syllabi, focusing on both technique and stylistic awareness. Az has a 100% pass rate.

He has both secondary school and GCSE experience in ensemble and performance modules. Az runs many ensemble workshops at schools and teaches additional instruments, general musicianship and GCSE preparation. His students have performed on stage at the Barbican.

When he’s not teaching Az spends his time studying jazz and regularly performs live. He plays in groups that have shared line ups with NOFX, Ms Lauryn Hill, Groove Armada, Jimmy Cliff, Chas & Dave, Fishbone, The Streets and UB40.

'I would definitely recommend Az as teacher to prospective young musicians. Az took my 9 year old son, Stan, through his grade 2 exam. He is very patient and deliberate in his teaching methods. Az breaks down instructions so they are easily understood which is vital in child education. Az has an excellent way with kids and gets on really well with Stan.'

"Az is a kind and patient teacher who can explain things clearly and he evidently has a passion for drumming and music. I always look forward to my lessons and know that we will have a laugh and I will learn something new. I have started learning drums through lockdown and have therefore had all my lessons on ZOOM – but this hasn’t detracted from the lessons at all!"

"I always look forward to lessons with Az because they are chill and fun. He has a great sense of humour and he always offers positive encouragement even if get something wrong."

'William has made great progress since having lessons with Az. His informal style really suits William, it keeps learning fun and engaging. Complicated drumming patterns and practice routines have been maintained and established, so the fun part isn't at odds with delivering some great results. I'm excited to hear how he keeps progressing in the future!'
