My Experience as a Teacher

Over the years I have been in many bands, playing cool chilled funk music to thrashing out in psychedelic rock groups.

I've always been interested in music and have studied Music Technology at Confetti Studios in Nottingham. Here I learnt a lot about recording techniques and the pre and post-production that goes on.

Since then I have been in the studio many times to do session work for bands, or even just to record my self-jamming to get ideas for future songs. I found recording myself was one of the best ways to improve my playing as I could listen back in detail for anything that could be improved.

More About My Lessons

Whether you want to learn your favourite songs, work towards grades and improve sight-reading skill, or get better technique; my goal is to inspire you to inject your own personality behind the kit, explore your creativity, and have confidence behind the kit where you feel comfortable. From there we can expand in all directions.

I have a friendly, relaxed approach to teaching and love the aspect of helping people learn something I am so passionate about. I've played the drums since I was a child and haven't stopped tapping since I picked up my first set of sticks.

I have taught a wide variety of ages and abilities from first-timers who need help starting out to advanced drummers who want to improve their skills.

I can help you to

Drums are a fundamental part of all genres of music, so not only will I teach all genres to ensure my students recognize the roles they might play in different bands, but I am also enthusiastic about my students having fun whilst they learn - so I will teach them music they love to listen to and can learn to love to play. I also ensure that my students feeling completely comfortable when learning so I go the extra mile to create the perfect environment which compliments their ability to learn.
