Information about Jack
Hi! Im Jack, an experienced and enthusiastic music tutor based in the Twickenham/Hampton area.
I believe every student is unique, and tailor my lessons to make sure you get what you want out of playing an instrument; for some people this is technical excellence, for others its pure enjoyment. Ideally I like to aim for a balance of both!
This may come in the form of working through grades, specific exercises & techniques, working on songs or styles, or simply opening your eyes to new possibilities.
As well as 10 years` experience teaching both privately and in schools, I am an active professional musician, drawing my teaching from over 25 years of performing live & in the studio in a variety of styles and settings. Ive played up and down the UK, across Europe, from audiences of tens to thousands, as well as been featured on a number of well received albums, EPs & singles.
I am also an experienced audio engineer with extensive experience in recording and producing bands, producing electronica, sound design and mixing for TV/film. My years of practical experience are supported by a BA (Hons.) in Creative Music Technology, so I can offer advice and lessons on production, audio technology (live & studio), as well as tuning/tonal considerations.
But dont just take it from me! Heres what some of my students have kindly fed back over the years:
"Have been taking drum lessons with Jack for a year. He is an expert drummer and excellent teacher. Really patient and helped me to improve my skills. Couldn`t have continued drumming without him! Highly recommended."
-Lei
"We are so glad you were recommended to us! Jaden has progressed so much since he joined the school. The part that I like the most is that you start off focusing on the fundamentals of drumming and how that enables you to come up with your own style later on. I truly look forward to the next stage of Jaden`s progress and I have no doubt you will turn him into a great drummer!"
-Corienne
"Professional,passionate and very friendly.
Had drum lessons with Jack and he was most motivating and patient.
Also very flexible in terms of booking lessons that fits around your schedule. "
-Alessandro
"Jack is an incredible drum teacher! Every lesson is inspiring, I cannot recommend him enough!"
-Ferdia
"It was a great year learning under Mr Jack . Professional, with a great deal of patience especially since I`m a beginner... and has such a passion for music. If somebody wants to learn drums, sign up now!"
-Kathleen
"I`ve been taking drum lessons with Jack for a few months now and it`s always a lot of fun. Jack is a patient teacher and expert drummer. "
-Fanny
"Have been taking classes with Jack. He is super nice and patient. I had large progress on my drum skills after his lessons!"
-Ariel
"I am a budding 64 year old drummer who had a desire to become a proper musician and have the ability to read drum music. Jack has the skill, flexibility and patience to encourage and build confidence to help me achieve my ambition, I just literally need to play my part!"
- Lionel
"It has been a pleasure to learn from both Gary and Jack their professionalism and patience combined with a relaxed environment make for a great experience. I think their passion for drumming and music in general is very important as well."

It was the first time I had ever picked up drumsticks at the ripe young age of 55. Jack was great. He was patient, explained things clearly and was prepared with a tracklist of songs bands that I had said I liked so that I could play along (and reduced tempo!). He answered all my questions and gave me great advice on going about purchasing a kit should I decide to continue with the drums. Highly recommended.
