With a nearly a decade's worth of experience in the music industry, three years teaching experience and an infectious passion for music, you can be sure that you'll always leave lessons feeling inspired with new knowledge you'll be eager to get stuck into!
Whoever you are, whatever you want to work on or whichever level you are at, each lesson will be tailored to you and your goals with the fundamental objective remaining the same: nurturing your curiosity and passion for music!
If you're a beginner, the goal is simply to get you playing whatever interests you and get you playing along to your favourite songs. I'm not the sort of teacher to start you off on technique and gruelling exercises, I want to show you how amazing the drums are and get you playing music and having fun right from the get-go, because that's what it's all about!
For the more experienced players, I can gear you towards whatever your goals are and can show you what you need to know, be it a style you haven't explored, practice methods, advanced techniques and concepts, improvisation, groove and fill builders, coordination challenges, you name it!
As well as all the fun stuff, I can also gear you towards any graded performances and auditions you might have coming up, help you address any aches/ pains or discomfort you may feel at the instrument or help you overcome any mental barriers you may be facing at the moment.
“Very talented teacher - I had been playing guitar but hadn’t sat behind a kit once. Despite this, in the first lesson I was already getting my head round different time signatures and Radiohead songs thanks to the way he explained things.”
“Henry helped me out with so much as a beginner drummer. Ranging from technical problems and how to fix them, to learning songs that I had trouble with. ”
“Henry is a fantastic tutor. He understands how to get our 9 year old to be excited about learning. It’s great to hear them talking about beats and how they work and how to make them.”
