I’m a freelance musician and drum teacher based in Birmingham, specialising in drum kit and percussion. As a performer I most often play jazz/improvised music but also have experience across a diverse range of musical situations. I’ve taught students across a broad spectrum of abilities, from beginners to advanced musicians. Tuition is tailored to the needs and interests of each pupil, whilst offering a holistic approach to musicianship with an emphasis on learning from real musical examples. Music from a broad spectrum of styles is covered, combined with exercises designed to address the technical demands of the instrument. This aims to develop fundamental skills that equip students for the challenges of real-life playing situations and at the same time making sure practice is rewarding and fun.
