I have taught students of all ages, focusing on their performance pieces specifically. I have led band sessions for students age 7-17 and prepared them for live performances, specialising in compositional skills and all round general performance skills and have worked with many students on a 1-2-1 basis.
As a performing musician and a drum tutor, I can confidently accommodate various different styles of music. I have performed many different acts on various different festivals.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome students of all ages and players of all abilities. I will build my lessons around what you want to learn & the we will learn at a level you are comfortable with.
I have worked with students who are looking to learn for pleasure, prepping for performances or wanting to brush up on their existing skillset. I have also worked with students who are preparing to study and complete their grades or for auditions, including for academic places such as University.
I believe in teaching my students the ability to express and convey themselves behind the drums, whether that means expanding their vocabulary to freely improvise with other musicians or helping them have fun playing along to their favourite songs. I will always do my best to provide well structured and rounded lessons that cover a wide range of topics.
As a multi-instrumentalist, I feel that I can explore each instrument and utilise the vast range of sounds and textures.
I like to make sure to build on my experience as a teacher and a player to make sure you really get the most out of your lessons. They will always be built around you and the specific music you listen to to ensure the lessons remaining fun and captivating.
My students in the past have learned all sorts of genres & many different styles. I feel fluent and competent at playing a huge range of different styles and genres so no matter which direction you wish to take the lessons in I will cater for you and tailor the material to match that.
I believe that to truly learn properly you have to enjoy what you learn. I can't stress enough that my main goal for all of my students is to have fun and for you to feel motivated and driven to practice when overcoming the challenges we all face when learning the drums.
We are lucky enough to have a great range of Drum shops in Liverpool to suit all levels of player. Here are a few of ones I would recommend checking out.

[email protected]My drum lessons are charged at £15 per half hour and £25 per hour.
I teach my lessons from a teaching space located in central liverpool. My full teaching address will be provided upon your first lesson booking.
I strongly believe that music shouldn't have an age limit and should be open to everyone & because of this, I offer my tuition to student as young as 6 years of age and upward.
You don't have to, however, I would recommend that you take at least a lesson once per week for the best results. This should be combined with plenty of practice at home in your free time.
If you cancel with more than 24 hours notice then I would be happy to re-organise your lesson but if you give lesson than 24 hours notice then I will have to charge for the lesson.
