Teaching
I have taught drum kit and percussion for over 25 years and in that time have helped students through university auditions, graded exams, competitions, and gaining places in national youth orchestras.
I teach all levels of student on drum kit, tuned and orchestral percussion, and focus on understanding and implementing correct technique while exploring music and styles. I aim to show each student a way to find their own musical identity as well as how to achieve the most from learning a musical instrument. Above all I want to share the joy of music making and inspire students to find a passion for music.
​
Currently I am a Visiting Music Teacher at Ardingly College and Lingfield College.
​
Currently I have a waiting list for private lessons my home studio in New Malden, South-West London. Contact me HERE for all enquiries

Rudimental Rundown
Learning and Applying the Standard Rudiments for Drum Kit
I am proud to announce the release of my first book!
​
Inspired by over 20 years of teaching, this is a must-have collection of technique builders and rudimental applications for every drummer. The book provides a step by step progression through all the major rudiments - providing basic exercises to help master each rudiment and then a set of practical applications on the drum kit.
Sections in ‘Rudimental Rundown’ include Single Strokes, Double Strokes, Paradiddles, Flams, Drags, and all combination rudiments. There is a detailed look at buzz stroke and double stroke technique, as well as a set of essential warm up exercises to use every day.
​
This book is also designed to be the perfect partner for students undertaking graded drum kit exams that include a technical component. Students learn how to prepare each rudiment and then apply them on the drums in the manner and difficulty required for each grade.
