"I've been taking drum lessons with Matt for a couple of months now and I'm loving it! Matt is a genuinely warm, positive person who makes every session feel encouraging rather than pressured. He is also really supportive of different learning styles, which as a neurodivergent person I really appreciate. Most importantly the lessons are loads of fun and I look forward to every single one. If you're thinking about picking up the drums, don't hesitate!"

"My kid absolutely loves drum lessons with Matt, they're certainly a highlight each week. He's very patient and personable and holds space for my childs improvisational and inquisitive nature, not to mention being a brilliant musician and teacher. I have been recommending his services and will continue to do so. We think you're the bees knees!"

"We chose Matt because he showed a good understanding of ADHD. And it was a good choice! Our boy has had fun and learnt stuff. Compared to a previous teacher who knocked his confidence because he was unable to do things the same way or pace as other kids, Matt has allowed our boy to go with his own flow whilst also instructing him."

"Matt has created such a relaxed and fun learning environment that our daughter loves going every week. It’s the thing she looks forward to most in her busy week and this is because Matt is such a kind and empathetic teacher!"

"Finally persuaded my son to try the drums as I had a feeling he’d like it. After one lesson with Matt he was hooked and now goes every week. He loves it and Matt’s just the best teacher, so friendly and patient - so much so that I decided to take lessons as well so he teaches both of us now! Can’t recommend him highly enough."

- Matt E

"I came in as a total beginner just looking to try something new, and now I’m completely hooked and look forward to every lesson. From day one, Matt asked what I wanted from the lessons and has tailored everything to fit around that. Every session is so fun, never pressured, and he's super encouraging. Being able to see my progress each lesson makes it so addictive. If you’re thinking of giving drums a go, it’s well worth booking with Matt!"

"As an older student who has played drums in the past, I was looking for someone to take me out of my rock comfort zone and push me in different directions and to learn things I couldn't do. Matt has done exactly that and the little videos I record at the end of each lesson are a godsend for at home practice.
He listened to what I wanted to achieve and our lessons flow into one another quite easily, without any firm plans as we feed off each other when talking about a particular technique or pattern. I've had an enforced break and am looking forward to restarting lessons in a few weeks time.
Matt offers lessons for all ages, level of ability and style of music. I'd highly recommend him."

"I stumbled across Matt’s advert when my son was insistent he needed to learn the drums. What a gem Matt has been! Free taster session, which further fuelled my little dudes want to learn. Followed by session after session of bespoke 1-2-1 lessons. Matt is super patient and understanding, and teaches in a way that suits the individual rather than being an instruction manual type of teacher. I can not recommend him enough."

​​"Matt has been a wonderful teacher. I am an adult learner with some degree of experience already and he managed to immediately tailor the lessons for me to make them fun and productive!"

​"Booked in with Matt for drum lessons for my 8yr old after seeing an advert in the park. Matt instantly made Phoenix feel at ease and quickly picked up on how best to teach him in the most upbeat fun way. It’s great to see how conscious he is of not over complicating or over explaining and tailoring each lesson as necessary. Phoenix is loving the lessons, we’re all boosted by how much improvement there is week on week. It’s also awesome to see how much enjoyment Matt gets from seeing the joy the kids are getting!
Would definitely recommend Matt if you’re looking to make drumming fun!"

Would 100% recommend!!!"

​"Matt is patient, passionate and talented. His approach is warm, encouraging and tailored to individual needs, but most importantly, fun!
I had never been anywhere near drums before but feel I’m progressing at a pace that keeps things interesting without becoming overwhelming. Thanks Matt, I couldn’t have wished for a better teacher!"
