Terry Xu – Drum Instructor & Performer
My name is Terry Xu, and I’ve been passionate about playing the drum set for over eight years. I’ve performed extensively with numerous bands, participating in countless live performances. Along the way, I’ve earned accolades such as the Outstanding Commitment Award from the Surrey Schools Jazz Festival, the Outstanding Achievement Award for each year at my high school, the prestigious annual Music Award at my school and plenty more awards.
Professionally, I hold an RSL Level 8 drum certification, achieving the highest grade which is Distinction. In 2024, I was honoured to receive admission to Berklee College of Music with a generous scholarship. Upon graduating, I also earned a significant fine arts scholarship from my school district.
For the past three years, I’ve been teaching drums to students of all levels. I specialize in various musical styles, including jazz, Latin, rock, and funk. Additionally, I’ve helped many students successfully prepare for RSL drum exams, with excellent results.
Drumming is not just my craft but my passion, and I look forward to sharing it with you. I’m excited about the opportunity to meet in person and help you achieve your musical goals!
