Jim's outstanding teaching quality and impeccable attention to detail has helped me go from Grade 1 Drumming to Grade 6 in three years. His constant cheery attitude and ability to explain things in many different ways makes our lessons interesting, exciting, enjoyable and entertaining. Each week I learn at least one new skill and Jim ensures I'm well equipped with all the knowledge I need before taking an exam. I can't thank him enough for all his hard work and dedication so far.

Jim has been both an incredible teacher and role model for me the years he taught me. He has enabled me to express myself through music and as a young student, provided support and structure to every week. On lesson Jim is always professional and prepared to tackle the hardest levels of practical drumming. He is a fantastic drummer and after countless lessons I have never had a negative experience.

Jim has been teaching our son drumming since he was seven years old. He's now thirteen and about to take his grade 4 drum exam. Jim has helped him to achieve a distinction at every grade so far. Jim's approach is tailored to our son, flexible to his needs and carried out with a sense of humour. Jim has always given us great advice about drumming equipment too. We are very pleased that we found Jim to teach our son, long may it continue.

We could not be more complimentary of the tuition received by our son from Jim! Jim has taught our son from the age of 7, he is now 15 and worked through Rockschool Drum grades from Debut recently taking Grade 7. Reliable, consistent, warm and approachable whether with a young child or a grumpy teenager Jim is able to provide support guidance and encouragement to maximise potential and engage learning! His passion for drumming and teaching is infectious and his humour and approach to teaching has kept our son enthused and on track! Thank you Jim for a fantastic service!

My 11 year old son has autistic spectrum disorder and struggles to communicate with adults outside of his immediate family unit. We wanted him to learn to drum as an outlet for his frustrations but we didn't know whether he'd take to having lessons or not. I'm so glad we found Jim! Through patience, perseverance and sometimes just being quiet and waiting he has gained my son's trust. After 12 months Ru chats away to Jim like a member of the family and as for drumming... He's flying!! He did 3 small public performances earlier this year (I cried every time!) and he's even considering sitting some grade exams, none of which I ever thought possible. I can't recommend Jim highly enough, he has been - and will continue to be - an amazing mentor and teacher for my boy.
