“I first picked up drum sticks at the age of 10 & since then I have been taught by a variety of teachers of all ages & abilities & in turn I have taught a variety of students of all ages & abilities. This has helped me develop my own technique, combining the best of all the learning & the best of all the teaching”
His teaching style brings out the best quality in every student. Whilst providing a structure and discipline to each lesson, he still makes it fun & encourages students to be creative and to develop their improvisation skills, stylistic playing, technique & reading ability.
