TEACHING RECOMMENDATIONS

“My 12 year old son started drum lessons with Joe just over a year ago and really looks forward to his weekly lessons. Joe is an extremely dedicated and committed teacher and, being a professional drummer himself, is a real inspiration to Oliver. Throughout the last few very difficult months of lockdown, Joe’s online drum lessons have been a real focus for Oliver, giving him much-needed structure and a valuable sense of achievement. It’s wonderful to see Oliver so passionate about his drumming and, most importantly, so keen to practice! Huge thanks to Joe for continuing to motivate and inspire him.”

“Joe has been teaching my son for just over a year and he loves to go and jam with his drumming partner! Joe is very patient and encourages him to play and be passionate and creative. I would recommend him every time!”

Christina Hoyle – Holmfirth

“Joe is a great drummer and a wonderful teacher. My son really enjoyed his lessons with him and Joe got him through his Trinity Guildhall grades pretty quickly. Having done them himself, Joe knew exactly what was needed to pass them. Highly Recommended!”

Cris James – Meltham

”Joe is proving to be an excellent tutor for my son, Henry, ensuring his strong progression with this new skill”
