Where do you teach?

I live in the Torrisholme area of Morecambe and you are welcome to have your drum kit or electric guitar lessons at my home, where there is a drum kit and guitar amplifier for you to use.
But if you would rather learn at home, that's fine! We can arrange a day and time to suit you perfectly.

 

How much are lessons?

For an individual quote just give me a call, but as a guideline, you can expect my fees to be a little lower than most instrumental teachers in the Lancaster, Morecambe and Preston area and MUCH lower than standard Musicians' Union rates!

 

You look very young on your photo - are you any good?

Yes I'm quite young - I'm studying for my Music Practice degree at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston. But you should also be aware that I've been drumming since the age of 6!
I am working beyond Grade VIII standard (which I passed a while ago) and hopefully anyone who has heard me drum will reassure you about my skills - why not check out some of my drumming clients?
With regard to my electric guitar skills, just talk to anyone who has been to a Lake Of Fire concert - I'm the guitarist, lead singer and composer for this Lancaster-based heavy metal band!

 

(I'll put some sound files up here shortly so that you can listen and put your mind at rest!)

 

How long will it take me to learn?

It is very difficult to give a general answer to this question. Some people are 'naturals' and learn very quickly, others take a little longer. Having said this, there are some important things you can do to learn more quickly:
1. Practise
2. Book a regular weekly lesson to review your progress
3. Practise
4. Listen regularly to the type of music you would like to play
5. Practise
6. Don't get frustrated when it doesn't come straight away. Take small steps.
7. Practise!

 

Any more questions?

If you have further questions or you are unsure about buying and setting up drum kits and electric guitars I'm happy to help.

 

Just give me a call and we'll talk.
