Personal Description:

Hi,my name is Dave, I`ve fairly recently moved to the area and would like to start teaching again.I`ve played drum kits and percussion all my life for a long time professionally and latterly semi-pro. I`m currently playing in a couple of local bands one of which is quite popular on the local circuits.I have a practice/recording studio at my home where I keep my drums.I still find it a pleasure to show others what was shown to me together with working on any problems they have.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been taught professionally myself and can read drum music.At my previous address the students were referred to me from The Academy of Music, Guildford.and Weybridge College.Though most came from word of mouth as I was fairly well known on the music scene in Surrey

Tutoring Approach:

I am a great believer in the rudiments as most of what you play starts from there,but feel and imagination is everything in music as well as lots of practice and that`s where I come in.I have experience in teaching Beginners, Intermediate and mentoring advanced.

Total Positive Feedback:	3 Av. 5.00/5.00

From Maxine (5/5): Couldn’t be happier. Very patient and clearly exceptionally talented and experienced.

From Jean (5/5): I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Dave.
He is patient and enthusiastic.

From Stephen (5/5): Dave is a great teacher. He always prepares well for the lesson and is constantly looking for ways to stretch me, whilst keeping it enjoyable. Dave is an experienced drummer (he regularly gigs) and is able and happy to teach me many different styles of drumming. He has a purpose-built drum studio in which he sets up two of his own kits so we face each other, which is a really good way to copy and quickly learn new strokes and rhythms. Although Dave (rightly) expects me to practise regularly at home between lessons, he is delighted when he can see the improvements this dedication brings. I would thoroughly recommend Dave to anyone interested in starting or developing their drum kit skills.

Reply from: Dave: Hi Stephen, Thanks for those kind words. I can only add that the joy of tutoring with someone is exactly your kind of response,to have someone walk out of the studio at the end of the session with something that they didn`t have when they came in is what it`s all about.
