Identify Your Boundaries As A Drum Tutor
Sunday, November 2nd, 2025
Use these ten questions to help figure out where you need to put in boundaries as a drum tutor, and what might be
getting in the way of you doing so.
- How healthy is your work-life balance when it comes to teaching and playing drums?
- When do you start and when do you stop drumming?
- How regularly do you take breaks from drumming? (think about this on a daily basis, i.e. lunch breaks and also in terms of holidays).
- Do you work during your breaks?
- How hard is it for you to ‘switch off’?
- How available do you really need to be, and in what way, in order to do your job?
- Are you able to make some time for yourself without feeling guilty or anxious?
- How ‘connected’ are you? (i.e. do you check social media or emails late at night or first thing in the morning?)
- How comfortable do you feel saying ‘no’ or turning down work?
- If saying ‘no’ is hard for you, what makes it difficult?
