With over thirty years of teaching experience, guiding everyone from absolute beginners to touring professionals, I bring the same depth of insight and practical knowledge to every lesson, now delivered live via Zoom so you can study from wherever you are.
My approach is rooted in real world bandstand and classroom work; a Berklee degree gave me the foundation, but it is the years spent on stage and in the studio that shape how I tailor each session to the student’s goals, whether you are sharpening blues phrasing, expanding jazz vocabulary, or tightening funk grooves.
Studying online removes the logistical barriers of travel and scheduling while preserving the one‑on‑one focus that yields real progress; you receive custom PDF exercises and backing tracks ahead of time, enjoy high‑definition video, dual camera setup, and clear audio, and have the option to record the lesson for later review.
All you need is a computer, laptop or tablet equipped with a webcam and microphone (headphones are recommended), a stable internet broadband connection, and the free Zoom application I will send you a personal zoom link the day before your lesson.
To begin, tell me what you hope to achieve, outline your current experience, and suggest a few time windows that work for you (I try to keep lessons between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. UK time); I will reply with available slots, until we find a time that suits us both.
My standard rate is £35 per sixty‑minute lesson (approximately $45 USD or €40 EUR, with PayPal handling conversion automatically).
Should you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least twenty‑four hours notice; lessons cancelled with less than twenty‑four hours are forfeited, though I review emergency situations on a case‑by‑case basis.
