I'm an experienced drum kit and percussion teacher, having taught students from ages 8 to 60, in both private and public sectors, as well as ten years at the University of Hull, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students. I have a passion for teaching, so I've developed my own step by step drum kit syllabus, following along the lines of the Trinity Guildhall drum kit exams, which provides a thorough coverage of both the technical and musical content needed to truly learn the drum kit.

Having played in more than 25 countries, and played for recordings, live, broadcast, and more. I know what skills are crucial to learning and performing your best. With personalised lessons for every student, and detailed customisation of each lesson plan, my students are well prepared to play and perform in a variety of situations.
