Teaching
I have over 15 years of practical drumming experience, 2 years of professional drum teaching experience, and have studied both Rockschool and Trinity College London Grades as well as studying jazz drum kit at The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. I have also performed in venues such as BBC Philharmonic Studio, Aviva Studios, Band on the Wall and Matt n’ Phred’s, among others.
I am fully DBS certified and have worked with a wide variety of students, from 5-65 years old, total beginners, advanced students and also neurodivergent and disabled students.
I currently offer 1-1 private drum lessons at my professional drum studio, conveniently located just a 10 minute drive from Manchester City Centre and a 2 minute walk from Holt Town tram stop, at Pollard Yard studios. The studio is a purpose-built music practice space, with a full acoustic drum set, sound system, sheet music and music library all available for student’s use. Ear defenders and drum sticks can also be provided, but I encourage you to bring your own.
