“Dan has captivated my son in his drumming lessons. He is so encouraging and positive, always taking time to explain things clearly and ensuring understanding. Dan keeps it fun and my son looks forward to every week. Having the lessons has also made him listen to music in a different way with a greater appreciation of the skills of the musicians. He now wants to learn guitar with Dan too! My son feels he has found ‘his thing’. Thanks Dan! “

“Dan has taught my 10yr old daughter drums for the past year. She has thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and has come along amazingly. I cannot recommend Dan highly enough for his patience and excellent teaching ability. After sitting in on some of my daughter’s lessons I reckon he could even teach a double left handed person like myself.”

“I came to Dan’s practice as a self taught guitarist but qualified percussionist. My focus was to consolidate my music theory in order to progress in my songwriting. Dan very quickly surpassed all my expectations & what I felt I could achieve. He is a very creative person, his approaches have not only helped me in my musical learning but I’ve also gained inspiration through his creativity. You will gain so much more from him than the qualifications, I cannot recommend him more highly.”

“I can’t recommend Dan highly enough. From starting lessons as an enthusiastic beginner he was kind and encouraging, making learning exciting but supportive.
Dan’s ability to explain techniques clearly helped me improve faster than I expected, culminating in me taking (and passing) my Grade 3 classical guitar exam having not done grades before! Dan identified and tailored lessons to my goals and musical interests. Instead of following a generic plan, Dan took the time to understand what I wanted to play and built lessons around that, which kept me motivated and engaged. He balanced technique with creativity, encouraging me not just to play songs, but to truly understand the theory as well.
I can highly recommend Dan as a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate guitar teacher.”

“I have known Dan for years. He is someone who cares a lot about seeing his students succeed. He was one of the first people to put a guitar in my hand when I was a kid”
Jake, 25, Nashville, TN
“I had also wanted to play but left it until I retired to really get stuck in. Working with Dan got me further in a month than I’d progressed in a decade. Now I can play the songs I always wanted to play when I want to play them.”
Campbell, 71, Surrey
“My two boys (starting from when they were 7 and 9), have been progressing through rockschool grades for 2 years in drums and guitar – they have made massive improvements and Dan always motivates them to do more. They still won’t practice together but they play all the time!”
Jane, West Sussex
“My 9 years started with Dan in 2024 and is now preparing for his Grade 5 drums. We’re all amazed by how quickly he has achieved so much! Dan is patient and clear but most of all, he makes it fun”.
