After 20+ years teaching and playing, I have come to believe that drumming is for everyone. That it is an instinctual part of human life and accessible to all. In my teaching practice I focus on the student building a natural and positive approach, that will continue to grow with them.

I teach core skills and methodologies that draw on the fundamentals of drum-set playing and traditional Tabla theory and repertoire.

Some areas I like to focus on include:

• Sound and touch

• Timekeeping and feel

• Rudimental sticking exercises

• Interdependence and polyrhythms

• Analytical listening

• Tabla basics and theory

• Integrating diverse percussive approches

These areas of focus are not just for drummers and percussionists but for anyone wishing to develop rhythmic awareness or new approaches on their chosen instrument.

I also offer workshops, Masterclasses, Talks and Lectures. I have given Masterclasses and Talks at several institutions including; Eastman School of music NY, Barcelona Conservatoire, Leeds Conservatoire and University of East Anglia.

Local work with Schools:

I have worked in many Schools across East Anglia both in peripatetic capacity and as a visiting artist offering drumming classes, workshops and group sessions introducing students to the tabla. If you are Interested in booking me please head to the contact page.
