Tuition
Learn to play drums & Percussion
music lessons
I offer private tuition to pupils of all ages & abilities.
Lessons are given either from my purpose designed drum studio or from the pupil’s house.
Pupil abilities range from novice to Grade 8 standard and through the one-to-one tuition I provide, pupils can work towards gaining experience and qualifications.
I am proud to have been the resident percussion tutor for many different organisations and youth groups and to have helped to establish a love of music in the next generation.
It is imperative to parents that they know their children are taught in a safe environment, so I keep an up-to-date Certificate from The Criminal Records Bureau. This checks that the subject is suitable for work involving children.
