Your Music. Your Tutor. Your Way.

Drums, Conga, Bongo

I'm a professional musician based in London, I've been playing and performing music for over 16 years. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in recording, performing and touring within numerous musical environments from orchestras to touring bands throughout the UK & Europe. Some of my highlights include: supporting The Psychedelic Furs on their 2018 European tour, opening for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds & Patti Smith at All Points East Festival, singing backing vocals for The Divine Comedy on their album Foreverland, playing percussion on numerous tours for The Doctors of Madness around the UK and a 3-month tour of Europe with Australian folk/rock band The Wishing Well. I've been mentored and studied under some inspiring musicians and creatives such as; Richard Strange (The Doctors of Madness) Drums - Chuck Sabo (Elton John, Brian Eno, Tom Jones, Natalie Imbruglia) Drums - Mark Roberts (D:Ream) Percussion - Fergus Gerrand (Duran Duran, Robert Plant, Whitesnake, Madonna, Sting, Katie Melua) Drums - Ian Thomas (Eric Clapton, Luther Vandross, Mike Oldfield, Tom Jones, Mark Knopfler, Mick Jagger, BB King) TEACHING EXPERIENCE I'm an experienced and enthusiastic drum kit and percussion tutor, with over 7 years worth of experience in educating students of all ages and abilities, including pupils with special education needs (SEN). I am highly motivated and passionate about teaching and educated to degree level (Creative Musicianship). I have demonstrable success in tutoring pupils to the highest of standards in the Trinity and Rockschool syllabi with each of my private pupils entered for an exam achieving a grade of merit or higher. Also, I am confident in applying my experience to larger groups to one-to-one private lessons. I have sound communication and relationship management skills, being able to quickly understand pupils learning abilities and deliver engaging and inspiring lessons to specific individuals needs, where I can encourage pupils personal growth and their passion for music. TEACHING APPROACH My teaching approach varies depending on the individual student’s needs and learning style. However, my teaching philosophy is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, using real-world examples wherever possible. I work with each pupil to set their own realistic and achievable goals. Depending on the student's goals, ability and understanding I usually start from a base that utilises their personal musical interests and moves gradually towards more complex areas which can include technique, independence and creativity as their confidence builds. Throughout the learning process, I use questions and examples to check their understanding and progression continually. I don’t lecture my students or ask them to memorise things. I believe passionately in the huge value of tutoring and sharing the knowledge I have gained with my students. I take great satisfaction in seeing my students achieve their full potential as they rapidly progress and surpass their goals.
