Teaching

I am a multi-instrumentalist with 15+ years of teaching experience, both privately and in schools. I began learning classical instruments (clarinet and piano) at an early age, then added rock instruments (drums, guitar, bass) and electronic music production skills as a teenager.

 

I have a first class degree in Music from King's College London and a Distinction in my Masters from Goldsmiths. I have performed at venues including Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall, and my music projects have amassed millions of streams.

​

I am passionate about teaching, particularly to young people. I am extremely proud to have taken my students from scratch to serious proficiency with many Trinity/Rockschool exam successes along the way, plus alumni progressing to further education and careers in music of their own.

​

Visit me at my professional studio space in Woodford, London, or connect over Zoom if you would like drum, guitar, or bass lessons. I can also teach you clarinet, beginner piano or pop keyboard. I can tutor music theory/music production to help prepare for ABRSM/Rockschool exams, or GCSE/A Level Music.

​

I have an enhanced DBS Certificate and full Public Liability Insurance through the Musicians Union.

​

My rates are £50/hr (30, 45 mins also available). This includes detailed lesson feedback, plus practice assistance during the week via WhatsApp.

He guided me through all 8 Grades, got me into music college, and now I find myself drumming as my profession!'
