I really enjoy learning drums with Matt. He suggests great songs that are a challenge but are fun to learn. I’m always improving my skills as a drummer, with Matt’s help. He’s a brilliant tutor. Tyler, age 13, July 2021

 

Matt is an excellent drum tutor. He has all the music knowledge and dedication you could ask for in a tutor and he really connects with young people. My son has been learning drums with Matt since 2017 and loves it. He ‘just wanted to give drums a go’ and is now a passionate drummer, through Matt’s encouragement and expert teaching. Matt is easy going and makes it all simple - even in the most challenging song, he breaks it down, even slows it down, into manageable chunks, so his pupils build the song up in stages, with a big sense of achievement. I’m so happy we found Matt and would not hesitate to recommend him to any young musician. You won’t regret it. Ruth, Tyler's Mum, July 2021

Matt is a brilliant drum teacher.  Our 10-year-old loves his weekly drum lessons, and he has made fantastic progress.  Matt explains things really well, he has a great manner with kids and he is endlessly encouraging, patient and enthusiastic.  We couldn’t wish for a better drum teacher for our son than Matt.

Matt taught Sky drums for 8 years.

He’s reliable and takes great care in his teaching. He has great attention to detail and is patient and kind. He is an inspiring teacher and makes learning fun for Sky.

Sky has learnt a great deal and enjoyed his lessons.  Although he isn’t playing drums at the moment he is doing lots of Drum & Bass mixing and DJing which he really loves.  I think the discipline and timing Matt taught him is very useful for mixing, and Sky now has an amazing sense of the music and rhythms.

I bought some drum lessons for my daughter's 15th birthday. She had wanted to learn for a while. When it came to the first lesson she became very nervous and I had to persuade her to go. Matt was so calm and encouraging that I did not have to persuade her to go to the 2nd lesson. Three years later when she was playing to a performance standard, I actually had tears in my eyes listening to her play. She had grown in herself by learning this new skill, she was comfortable and confident playing some of her favourite songs to an excellent standard. This was down to Matt's comfortable relaxed teaching style, he would adapt to help her with the bits she found difficult, he praised where praise was due but was never critical. His high level of encouragement meant Amy never wanted to miss a lesson. I would happily recommend him as a drum tutor. ( Christine, May 2018)
