Drum lessons with Andrew take place in the NG3 area, at a bespoke home studio with two acousitc drum kits. Instead of working to a set syllabus, Andrew tailors lessons to suit the individual need of the student - whether this be working towards a graded exam (Rockschool/Trinity/Trinity Rock & Pop), playing for fun or developing a professional skill set for live performance.
Previous students have gone on to study at Guildhall, Leeds College of Music, British & Irish Institue of Modern Music, Trinity College of Music & Dram and many other University & Music Colleges. Many of these ex-students have also progressed into professional music careers as performers, studio musicians and educators.
