*Below, you will find links to my current 2019 'Child Safeguard' training, CRB/DBS criminal records checks and Public Liability Insurance certificate*.

Prices are £20 for a 30-minute lesson, £29 for 45 minutes and £40 for the hour. That'll afford you years of drumming know-how, technical proficiency and musical application.

I offer 'private' pro drum lessons, not drum classes, as everyone is an 'individual' in terms of learning new skills. I strongly believe that teaching ‘one on one’ produces ‘by far’ the best results that enable me to adapt and tailor my approach to match each student and their preferred way of learning and processing information.

Whether it’s drum lessons for adults or drum lessons for kids, as a beginner, I always manage to find a way forward that is both fun and rewarding and not too stressful for each student.

I currently teach privately at ePianos Music Academy in Banbury (click here for video directions to the studio), formerly One Man Band Music Shop in Banbury, St. Johns Priory, Bloxham Primary School and Christopher Rawlins Primary School *I am 'Child Safeguard' certified; click here to view my certificate & 3 times CRB/DBS registered; click here and here to view all three certificates*.

I teach from age 5 upward using varying methods that I have acquired from more than 30 years of classically based education and graduation from The Musicians Institute www.mi.edu in the USA. I teach all aspects of drumming from sight-reading, kit tuning; click track work, equipment maintenance, gigging, sessions and everything else drum related. I also do a lot of improvisational work, playing to all manner of artists.

I have played in many musical set up's from pit orchestra, classical, Jazz, Rock and Fusion mix. I also do studio session work. My teaching style is relaxed, very professional and individually 'tailored' to each student.
