G’day, I’m Guy. An Australian born multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and performer based in Brighton and London. After 3 years of being self-taught I began my professional career at the age of 17, playing in covers bands and committing hours of non stop focus to my musical development. Given my shared enthusiasm to playing and performing, I quickly began to realise that there was a real drive to construct, write and execute compositions whilst demonstrating a true passion for emotive storytelling. Over the past 17 years I have been fortunate to tour the UK, work with internationally renowned producers and musicians, played on several of the UK’s music festivals stages and multiple projects I have worked on and have received international radio broadcasts including national UK stations such as BBC Radio ONE and BBC Radio 6 Music. Since 2018 I have been teaching and mentoring students of all levels. From beginners to intermediate teachers finding their feet within another musical medium. I’ve helped develop students on a range of instruments including; Guitar, Bass Guitar, Piano as well as helping singers and producers to develop their musicality and evolve their unique musical voice. If you want to collaborate and be inspired whilst learning HOW to think about art and music instead of WHAT to think about them then I am the teacher for you. Music Qualifications & Achievements: BA in Songwriting and performance from Brighton Institute of Modern Music 17 years performance experience Music released through record labels both in the UK and internationally Songs played on BBC radio 6 and Radio one Signed songwriter with Wixen Publishing Booking agent Echelon Talent Agency Multi-instrumentalist: Guitar & Bass, Piano, Cello Currently touring in a band who have played several of the UK’s biggest festivals including being invited to Glastonbury in 2020 as well as being hand selected by The Music Venues Trust for their ‘Revive Live Tour’ and playing a headline show at the Brighton Dome in 2020 for the ‘Revive Live’ Campaign that successfully raised money to keep grass roots UK music venues running through the pandemic. I was inspired to start teaching shortly after realising a gap within the tutor market. There wasn’t enough diversity across theoretical and practical knowledge. Two of the main requirements to keep up with a fast paced and forever changing landscape of the modern music world. My lessons are developed in collaboration with my students to produce bespoke content to enhance a more enjoyable learning experience. A creative life does need structure and a willingness to commit as well as a mentor that is patient and nurturing. I consult and collaborate with my students in order to help them reach their goals, whilst understanding that personal objectives may shift, or their latest band/project/student demands a new skill from them. As an example, a singing teacher may find that they need to up their piano skills to keep up with their students. Perhaps you are classically trained and can sight read, but you would like to develop your improvisational abilities… Or maybe you just decided that you lugging your keyboard to every show is too much and you want to learn your songs on guitar… These are the things that I excel at and inspire me to share my unique and modern approach to advancing your musical skills.

Hello, my name is Pat Garvey. I'm a Brighton based drum teacher and career mentor. My career as a professional drummer over the past 27 years led me - in 2007/2008 - to discovering a passion for education. Since then I've developed my own private teaching studio, completed a masters degree in learning and teaching, PGCert and PTTLS qualifications, and been involved in educational projects all over the world. Within specialist popular music education I've held positions as lecturer, module leader, deputy head of department, head of department, digital learning resource manager, and I currently hold a position as Principal Lecturer (drums and academic) at BIMM University. Within my career in Popular Music Education I have also consulted on course design, led on module writing, schemes of work, moderation, course note writing, course strategy and consultation, assessment delivery, staffing, staff support and management, lecturer support and management, student support and management, and departmental strategy and management. As a freelance player-educator I run a successful private teaching practice in Brighton where I teach in-person and online. I've delivered talks, masterclasses, workshop sessions and support to other teachers, heads of department, course leaders and student support staff at music institutions internationally, featured on panels as a guest at Royal Northern College of Music, UK Drum Show, ACM, Sabian Education Network, LCMP, LIPA and others, and worked with organisations like Help Musicians UK, soundLINCS, Arts Council England and Youth Music, delivering funded community music projects and working with musicians in injury rehabilitation. I regularly teach as a guest on drum camps including the iconic Freddie Gee Drum Academy, I've written over 300 published articles for various drum magazines (including Rhythm Magazine and iDrum Magazine) and webzines, and I work with brands like Sabian, Remo, Marshall, Natal, Vic Firth, Roland, sE Electronics, in a professional capacity all year-round. I teach all levels including beginners, from age 10 +, and learning differences and physical and neurological disabilities are welcome. My students range from young beginners, to teachers, hobbyists, amateur professionals to established professional musicians playing with major artists and all in between. I offer a range of payment options and plans as well as the standard pay as you go weekly and fortnightly lessons, please get in touch for more information.
