Testimonials:

“If you are looking for drummer tuition look no further, l cannot recommend Jamie's tuition highly enough! He started giving our grandson lessons about 6 months ago and his progress has been startling. Taking into consideration my grandson has the attention span of a gnat, it speaks volumes of Jamie's patience and talent, keeping 'engaged' the whole time. To say our grandson looks forward to his lessons is a big understatement!”

Steve Lord - Saddleworth

“My son is nine years old and had weekly drum lessons with Jamie. From the very beginning, it was clear that he is a highly skilled, patient, and encouraging teacher who understands how to work effectively with children. He quickly built a great rapport with my son, creating a relaxed but focused learning environment that kept him engaged and motivated each week.

During the time they worked together, my son made excellent progress in both his technical ability and his overall confidence on the drums.

Although the tuition period was relatively short, the positive impact Jamie had on my son’s musical development was significant. I would not hesitate to recommend him to other families or organisations looking for a dedicated and effective drum teacher.”

Kayleigh - Carbrook

“Jamie is a fantastic drum teacher, my son Oliver (aged 7) has loved his lessons with him and they were the highlight of the week. Jamie is extremely professional and very talented indeed. I would highly recommend him as a teacher to anyone wanting to learn how to play the drums.”
