Testimonials and References

"We approached Harry when our son, Leo, was seven, he was a complete novice but liked bashing around on the drum kit. Harry is a patient and kind teacher, he brings the right amount of informality into his teaching style which elicits the best from his pupils.


He has the right amount of 'cool' factor too, Leo thinks Harry is amazing and he now has a passion for playing the drums!"
Leo, Vicky, Nick






"Harry has taught our 11 year son for some three and a half years. He is a fantastically inspirational teacher having taken our son through grades one to seven.


Now in lockdown and having to teach his final grade over the internet the lessons remain as productive as ever. Harry manages to maintain his high standards of inspirational teaching without any technical glitches, we would recommend him unreservedly."
Rick and Nic Scannell






"Harry has worked as drum tutor and band coach with the Rock Academy for over 7 years. He is an inspiring teacher who works hard with his students to get the very best of them.

​

He has worked in schools and the privately and consistently gains excellent feedback from students and parents."
The Rock Academy Foundation






Charlie has been having drumming lessons with Harry for a few years now. They have a great relationship – Harry is a patient and fun teacher – keeping it interesting and challenging for Charlie over the years.


The online lessons have worked really well, with Harry skyping Charlie every week for half an hour. Charlie has been fully prepared by Harry for any exams he has sat – as well as working with him on other drumming projects which have come along via theatre work.



As a mum I would highly recommend Harry to any parent whose child is looking to take up drumming! Harry is friendly, you can have a laugh we’re really glad we found him!
