Laura Hubbard, UK

 "I have been seeing Mike for lessons for a couple of years. 
Mike is such a brilliant teacher, this is because he adapts his teaching to help his students understand and progress. He offers a bespoke approach to teaching, whether it be wanting to do grades, learning your favourite songs or learning different techniques, he provides it all in such an accessible way. 
My confidence and playing  has improved immensely thanks to lessons with Mike"

Helen Collis, UK

“When I first started learning drums with Mike, I was nervous that I would never get the hang of it and make an absolute tit out of myself in the process. However, from my first lesson it was apparent that Mike’s patience and natural ability to teach was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. He ignited my passion to learn and progress. When I say that Mike was patient, I cannot emphasise that point enough! I have very little patience with myself when I am learning something new and expect immediate perfection. He knew exactly how to combat my self-deprecation, and if I was struggling he would break things down or reshape lessons to match my unusual learning style. Mike ALWAYS made the lessons fun and different. I’ve never laughed and learnt so much at the same time! I cannot recommend him enough!”

Clare Donovan, UK

“L looks forward to each week’s lesson immensely. Mike is a superb tutor, he is incredibly encouraging with a friendly manner that brings out the best in L. We really enjoy watching L’s lessons on Youtube, and this serves to highlight how pleased we are that Mike’s his tutor. Whatever skill he’s demonstrating is communicated at just the right level to get the best from L. We couldn’t be happier with L’s progress over the last year. “A genuinely great guy”, as L describes him.”

Jen Terris, UK

"A massive thank you for the help, encouragement and support you have given me since starting my vocal journey with you. 
You continue to guide me in setting new goals and objectives I never thought I'd reach, from finding my feet, overcoming my own nerves in our very early sessions and helping me to recognise my own ability you have been there for me every step of the way.
You and your studio offer a safe and secure environment where it doesn't matter if I'm pitch perfect or spend my time laughing at myself when things don't go to plan, you make this time valuable for my vocal development and it has also truly benefited my mental health and wellbeing.  
Thank you so much for not only seeing but encouraging me in my continued vocal journey, I doubt I'll ever have a hit No.1 but I'm having fun! "

Martin Holmes, UK

"I hadn't played drums in my life, but Mike got me playing some great patterns and rhythm in only a few lessons. Very encouraging and can explain a technique in multiple ways to help you understand."

Jane Moorby, UK

"We came across Mike as a potential drum teacher for our daughter and decided to book a lesson for her. She was quite apprehensive but as soon as we met Mike she never looked back. He was kind, funny and the most amazing teacher. He always has various ways of explaining techniques and has a knack of building confidence. Most importantly E really enjoyed learning with Mike.
If you are considering learning music Mike would be a fabulous choice."
