On the back of this success, he went straight into his MA in Music at the Leeds Conservatoire, in which he achieved a Merit. Michael is currently performing professionally on a weekly basis, as well as doing classroom teaching in secondary schools, for multiple local music services. Michael has been playing drum kit for 18 years and classical percussion for 11 years. Having achieved grade 8 on drum kit, and grade 8 on timpani and xylophone in his mid-teens, Michael began teaching drum kit to beginners alongside his A level studies. Before attending Leeds Conservatoire, Michael spent a year doing auditions, gigging professionally including becoming Musical Director for a youth theatre production. In this time Michael also taught a beginner student up to grade 8 on drum kit, in the space of a year and a half. Michael's approach to teaching is making sure the main focus is fun! Students can expect to be playing and making music right from the first lesson.

I’m Alfie, a drummer based in Leeds UK. Aside from creative work, I teach drums from my home via Zoom. With over 10 years of experience learning and gigging, I’ve gained the necessary knowledge to get you progressing on the drums. My Zoom learning setup is enhanced with multiple cameras and microphones alongside industry-standard streaming technology that replicates the experience of being in the same room together. Open to all ages, my teaching revolves around a bespoke progression plan for every student. For beginners, we may start by introducing the basics of rhythm with a focus on getting you grooving on the kit. If you’ve had lessons before or already completed grades, we can begin to tailor your learning by using resources from the worlds finest drummers. For advanced drummers, I urge you to check out my videos on Hybrid Drumming. If it interests you, we can incorporate this technology within your drum lessons to bring your live performances to the next level. Within your initial free 20 consultation session, together we can form this plan based on how you learn, your goals and what you enjoy most!

I have been a gigging and teaching musician all of my life. Granted I may not be old but I certainly have enough experience under my belt teaching already. I have worked for the regional teaching hub in my area as well as working with local, internationally award winning brass bands to help coach their percussion sections and music Studios in the area. As well as teaching I am constantly touring with various musicians including names such as the Bachelous and Will Todd. I have experience in all kinds of music from jazz to hard rock and play all these styles regularly. This comes out in my teaching and I always try to make sure my students have a wide base of abilities so they can become a musician with the ability to do any gig on the fly.
