“Russell helped me with learning songs for my band. He was very good at listening to the music and coming up with new ideas for me. Very good teacher and I am looking forward to my next lessons with him.”

My Experience as a Teacher

With years of teaching and playing experience behind me, I can give budding drummers all of the advice and know-how to make them succeed. Whether they are looking to gain grades or want to jam with their friends, I can get them started on their musical journey.

I have honed my teaching experience over a number of years as a professional musician, gaining a BA (Hons) from the Academy of Contemporary Music in teaching. I have added to this with further qualifications in music technology, giving my students access to not only first-class drums lessons but the skills to record their music.

I can work with different styles, giving beginner students in Guildford the opportunity to play the songs that they want to. I can also give intermediate and advanced student the tools they need to take their drumming to the next level.

More About My Lessons

I have years of live experience, along with hours of studio time and production work. If you want to take your drumming further, you have come to the right place. My time at the Academy of Contemporary Music and my years of teaching, performing and recording mean that I can raise the bar for intermediate students and have advanced pupils shooting for the stars.

I can read and notate music and can expand the wider musical knowledge of all of my students. My experience in live music means that I can help my students source the correct equipment, set it up correctly and even how to make it sound great onstage!

My musical experience does not just stop at the drums either - I can play the keyboard, guitar, bass guitar and more to give students an unparalleled look at the world of music.
