Teaching

I am a well-qualified, dedicated and enthusiastic Drum Kit, Guitar and piano teacher with over a decade of teaching experience and a lifetime within the music industry. I have a long record of achieving excellent exam pass rates but also have many students who have lessons just for the love of it. 

I have extensive experience with live performing spanning both the Jazz and Pop industries, film and television session work as well as recording and theatre production, I feel this experience and passion for music adds to my ability to be dynamic in my teaching style and include a range of music styles with ease.
