TUITION
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.

This work has included developing and leading a jazz summer school for Jazzpac (Lincolnshire's Jazz Development Agency) since 2013, visiting schools to introduce improvisation and conducting workshop rehearsals with youth ensembles including: Jazz Vehicle and Boston Youth Jazz Orchestra. Andrew has most recently undertaken the role of joint Artistic DIrector for Jazz Machine (Lincolnshire Youth Jaz Orctesra).
