Information About Mark

Personal Description: I have been playing Drums for thirty years. Drum kit for twenty four years and rudimental Pipe Band Snare drumming for thirty years. I have recorded and performed with many different bands and artists over the years and have performed on radio and national TV several times. I studied drum kit with Paul Francis who is one of the UK's top drum teachers for over ten years.
I have been playing the bagpipes for twenty five years and have played in Pipe bands and solo at many different events throughout the years.

Tutoring Experience: I have been teaching Drum kit for over fifteen years and rudimental Pipe band Snare drumming for twenty years. I have be teaching Drum kit for the past three years at a local Technology college in my area and performed workshops for a local arts group. I am also a Tutor for a music service based in London. I have recently started work on a drum tuition DVD and I am due to perform a series of drum masterclasses in spring 2010
I have been teaching bagpipes on a one to one private basis for over ten years.

Tutoring Approach: I teach private lessons from my fully equipped teaching studio with two accoustic drum Kits. I teach all aspects of theory and practical drumming and Trinity Guildhall ( Drum Kit and Snare Drum ) and Rockschool Grades for students who would like to take graded examinations. I have a 100% pass rate for all students who have taken exams. Lessons can also be structured to suit the specific needs of the student. I also offer tuition in Pipe Band snare drumming and Drum corps tuition. I teach the R.S.P.B.A snare drumming syllabus, but again lessons can be structured to help the student work on specific areas that need improving. I have a very enthusiastic approach to music tuition and my lessons are conducted in a relaxed, friendly environment. In 2005 I received an award from the Vic Firth Company for my contribution to Drum education.
