About Me

I am a Swiss-born recent music graduate.

My main objective is to help the student to reach his / her goals, whether be it learning songs, working on hand or foot technique, working on styles (Pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Fusion, etc.), or prepping for an entry exam in a music school or university. I will strive to keep the student challenged and stimulated by the content I will be delivering, while maintaining a supportive and positive environment throughout the lesson. I am not looking to overwhelm the student with content, but rather to break down objectives in smaller goals, delivering physical resources for each lesson, to help the student's practice and reach the main objectives.

I do believe that good listening skills, patience and Kindness are required for every teacher to deliver the best content in the best way possible.

I offer guidance through the accredited Trinity (Classical and Rock & Pop) and Rock School graded syllabuses.

I have prepped students for exams across the grades and I also work from a deep library of resources covering different repertoire, styles, concepts and techniques. I also provide a collection of online video resources that supplement the lessons, to assist in practice.

Hi there, my name's James. I've been playing since the age of 10 (12 years), during which I have played with a number of bands and taught many students, both privately and in schools.

I'm currently the touring drummer for London Calling UK, The Meatloaf Story, and Emma Stevens, and have partaken in festivals and shows around the UK and Europe.

I am able to teach whatever it is you're wanting to learn. Whether we're starting at the beginning, or learning a certain song, each lesson will be tailored specifically to you and your needs.

I can provide in-person 1 to 1 lesson either at my home studio or at a place of the student's choice (within reason), or via video chats like Zoom and Skype. I am DBS checked.

My goal is to help you understand what you want to achieve with the instrument, and help you to do it in the best way.

We will customize the lesson plan according to your personal needs and goals. The method I follow allows you to play immediately without neglecting the fundamental aspects of the study of drums. We will approach the topics gradually, to allow you to develop the tools to improve and develop your expressive freedom progressively.

I think that the lessons should be a relaxing and fun moment but also a learning experience.
I use imagination and evaluate situations from different angles and points of view to achieve great efficiency, good coexistence, and mutual respect; that's why my lessons are tailored to students individually, to make sure you'll get the most out of our time together.

Experienced drummer and teacher, looking for enthusiastic students. Classes are tailored specifically to a student's learning style, with a real impetus on blending drum theory with practical playing.

Whether it be online (live-streamed from a professional studio) or in-person, a student can expect to have a fantastic learning experience in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Got your own drum kit? Wanting to have the lessons in the comfort of your own home? I am willing to travel to you also!

DBS certified. Grade 8 standard drummer with a BA (Hons) in Professional Musicianship.

Music is a wonderful thing to learn, it is a universal language. Over the years I have developed specific programs to suit the needs of every students. I offer support with specific ongoing programs such as help with preparing for the graded exams and schools assessments as well as working on specific topics: Reading, Transcribing, Grooves, Styles, Technique, Soloing, Rudiments and Creative Composition.

I am a fully qualified teacher with full QTS and a master's in Global Creative and Cultural Industries. I take an inquiry-based approach to my teaching and specialize in observational drawing, critical thinking, relief printing, oil painting, and both analog and digital photography. I have taught in mainstream schools, academies, FE centres, pupil referral units, galleries, theatres and youth justice settings. I was commissioned as the first-ever Artist in Residence at the UK Houses of Parliament and now work out of my own Arts council funded studio in SE1.

I'm an international actor that graduated from Rose Bruford College. My sessions will provide the training that's best adapted to your needs. Whether you want to apply to a specific course, prepare an audition, shoot a self-tape or quite simply want to know more about acting.
Do not hesitate to message me in order to know more.

For the last 20 years I have taught hundreds of drummers both privately and in formal institutions such as BiMM London (formerly Drumtech), ICMP and LMA colleges. I have developed a strong reputation, helping musicians to sound great behind the drums.
My priorities as a player are always to be able to make the band sound great.
I work on fundamentals that are directly applicable in musical situations.
Whether I help someone taking their first steps on the instrument, or professional players who want to fine tune their technique, I have a very similar approach:
It starts with a dialogue, understanding the person I work with, a diagnostic then a plan to reach our goals.

I am a tenacious, fun loving and laid back mathematics teacher among members of staff. When I teach students I display high levels of intellect, a conscientious manner, a good sense of humour and give rewards not only sanctions. I enjoy using a diverse range of methods when I teach such as game based teaching, collaborative lessons, investigative approaches, connectionist teaching and topic based teaching whereby I relate maths to the everyday lives of students‘.

In addition, my teaching style encourages student participation and discussion. It is a mixture of facilitative teaching and instructor led lessons. It aims to ensure that each student is stretched to their limits and hence incorporates differentiation. To diversify my teaching, I encourage peer learning whereby students who have understood an idea in maths, teach their understanding of maths to those who are struggling to understand. When it comes to marking work, I get students to mark their own work as well as regularly marking their work myself and giving written feedback.

This is my belief about mathematics: “mathematics is the most beautiful subject in education and life: it is artistic, scientific and the language of the sciences. It is discovered, adapted and open to invention. Mathematics is profitable to the person who understands it well. It is a waterfall of knowledge: one never tires of washing themselves with mathematics“ (Timothy, 2018).

Creating lessons based around your taste in music, your goals as a drummer and your way of learning. For some people this is visual and for others, theoretical. We will set short term targets in lessons as well as long term targets to stay motivated and make sure we hit our goals. I am also able to host lessons and travel to lessons.
