I’m Craig have over 35 years’ experience of performing on both acoustic and electronic drums (live and in studios) in the entertainments industry. I learnt my musical profession from meeting some of the best session drummers in the world, observing them perform at drum clinics and having had master classes. I also had the pleasure of attending a ‘Rhythm Drum Camp’ At Bath Spa University College. I will guarantee you results by developing your overall drumming skills. My past and present students have a long list of achievements, which range from drumming qualifications, further education at music colleges, playing in a live band to simply playing their drums at home and knowing that they have attained a higher understanding of the instrument. I do this by getting to know you and introducing a drum program that relates to your individual learning curve, this helps you develop at your own pace in a relaxed studio environment or at home. Music Qualifications & Achievements: For many years of living breathing music is my life. Attending numerous Leeds College Of Music developments courses, along with hundreds of gigs and live events, for clients such as Jamie Oliver, and The Marriott Group, also headlined at Matthews Street Festival in Liverpool an extremely prestigious to have been invited to perform at.

Singing lessons: what to expect
The best singing lessons near you aren’t just about distance — they’re about a coach who helps you build your voice safely and consistently. Search by location to find in-person singing lessons, or choose online lessons to access specialist vocal coaches for pop, musical theatre, rock, classical, and exam preparation.
Singing lessons are for complete beginners through to experienced performers. Lessons can be tailored for children, teenagers, and adults — whether you’re learning for fun, building confidence, joining a band or choir, or returning to singing after a break.
Most students work on breath control, pitch, tone, range, vocal agility, and song interpretation. A good vocal coach will also help you practise effectively, warm up safely, and build vocal stamina — so you improve without strain.
Online singing lessons can be highly effective for technique, consistency, and flexible scheduling — especially with an experienced coach. In-person lessons can feel more immersive and are great if you prefer face-to-face feedback and hands-on guidance.
