The drums and music have been my passion ever since I picked up my sticks at the age of 8 and I have never looked back. As my skills progressed as a musician I have joined bands with friends playing small gigs all around the London area.
My interest in music led me to join orchestras and wind bands at the Bromley Youth Music Trust (BYMT) which taught me how to play percussion in a whole new way and broadened my musical taste to new levels.
While studying Music Technology BSc at Coventry University I became an active member of the student un ion wind band both as a percussionist and as the band`s musical director. I gradutaed with Honours First Class and was awarded with the Course Tutors Prize for overall academic acheivement.

Whether you are looking to one day become a seasoned professional or you are just wanting to learn an instrument on the side, with my tailored tuition you`ll pick up the basics in no time.

Availability: I am available weekdays from 3pm till 7pm.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: While studying Music Technology BSc at Coventry University I became an active member of the student un ion wind band both as a percussionist and as the band`s musical director. Being the musical director gave me the chance to develop the band even further rehearsing them to the best of their ability and allowing me to stretch my teaching and leadership skills.

I work for `The Rock Project` in Sevenoaks as their principle drum tutor. The Rock Project tutors children 8 - 18 individually in their respective instruments and then brings them together at the end of the hour tutoring session to play as a band and gives them real live playing experience. A new song is learnt every 2 weeks and provides an ecclectic mix of music tailoring to everyones music taste.
