TESTIMONIES

Hi everyone, I’ve known Brian for a three years now, in a professional capacity, and have met his wife and little boy. He has struck me as someone that cares deeply about having a positive impact on all those he meets, not to mention his excellent equipment for teaching all abilities. Not only will you learn with an incredible drummer with lots of experience but he will naturally improve your musicianship, too. You will be able to record your progress and play along in a live setting. The environment for learning is homely and his family have always been most welcoming. The coffee is second to none, too! :) Brian is qualified, to a high standard, and DBS approved. Highly recommend to all levels and ages.

Chris (ROOM11)

I cannot speak highly enough of Brian, my incredible singing teacher. His passion for music and dedication is truly inspiring. He created a warm, encouraging environment that made me feel confident to explore my voice. He has an extraordinary ability to break down techniques into clear, manageable steps, helping me improve my range, tone, and performance skills in ways I never thought possible. His enthusiasm for music is contagious. I’m so grateful to have such an amazing teacher guiding me on my musical journey!

All the best Barbara

I highly recommend Brian, we have collaborated on many musical projects since 2003 including tours, recording sessions and many live performances in the UK and abroad. He has been a dedicated drum teacher both privately and in schools for some two decades and has a history of success in delivering bespoke instruction for graded exams, GCSE music and extra curricular ensembles. In addition he has maintained an impressive career as a session musician, solo artist and composer. Brian is a very reliable and trustworthy addition to Superprof with his ability to engage and inspire students with a novel and creative teaching style.
