Jake is a great teacher; I could always talk to him about drums and general things with ease. He helped with my confidence by giving me positive comments and developing my strengths.”

About me
A proficient drummer with 10+ years of experience, I strive to inspire students with my passion. I’ve played gigs in both original & function bands, recorded music and graduated uni with a first-class music degree.
I’ve taught pupils of many ages, abilities, and backgrounds. From teaching six-year-olds in primary schools, to teenagers from home or older adults at music shops. Now, I teach them all at Cheltenham's coolest music academy.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach; that’s why I’ve created a flexible programme which can be tailored to your goals. I've transcribed hundreds of songs and developed various challenges & exercises to suit you.
