TEACHING

My teaching style is all about inclusivity and individualism. With every student I take on, I essentially hand craft a personalized course that attends to your specific learning requirements. This is based on a consultation where we arrange an initial meeting to see what it is you require help with and how I can help you achieve your goals.

I hold a PGCE in Learning and Teaching, am DBS Checked and have 4 years experience of being a lecturer at a music university. Furthermore, I have recently started working with Trinity College London facilitating their graded exams so can offer insight into the process if a prospective students would like to pursue completing their grades. Some topics I specialise in include, but aren’t limited to:

• Developing a personal practice plan and learning how to efficiently practice

• Refining grip and hand technique

• Improvisational skills

• Coordination

• Any specific genre you want to explore including the historic and cultural elements

• Snare Drum Solos

• Music Theory and Reading Notation

• Career Advice

• Compositional Skills, writing drum parts and fills

Lessons take place from my apartment in Bedminster, Bristol or online.
