" Simon is a very experienced tutor who loves teaching. Both my children have classes with him for guitar and drums and they love him and the lessons. Simon takes the time to connect meaningfully with his students. He is caring and compassionate, but also very professional and very well organized".

'I would highly recommend Simon.  He is a great teacher who is clearly dedicated to teaching music and sharing his expertise.  He is reliable, flexible and friendly.  He has taught my son from starting out playing drums to taking Grade 7 and 8 in the very near future.'

Simon has been my son’s drumming tutor for over five years and in that time he has always been reliable, flexible, encouraging and honest in his review and future direction of my son’s progress. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a music tutor - you won’t be disappointed!

"I have now had a number of lessons with Simon and my playing is really improving based on his input and introduction to some musical theory which is creating a great platform to work from. Simon is very knowledgeable about a number of musical genres and the fact that he plays multiple instruments helps to give context to the role of instruments like the bass guitar, which is my current instrument. He has rightly pushed me out of my comfort zone which was previously playing a few riffs. I would thoroughly recommend Simon".

Simon is easy going and gives us our boys confidence in what they are doing, both our boys have Aspergers and are very comfortable in his presence.

"Just had my first lesson with Simon and it was fantastic. I'm a total beginner and he made me feel very at ease despite me sounding terrible. He stressed the fundamentals and got my head in the right place to understand how I should be approaching the learning process and my daily practice. Can't recommend enough!"

"Thank you for unlocking so much joy in my son and for your amazing gift that you share. We are excited to see his love for music develop.

Simon has been teaching my son guitar for many years. He has been a great mentor to him and has a vast knowledge of music. Simon is supportive, approachable and always responds quickly to emails/texts. Thanks largely to Simon, my son is soon to take his grade 6 guitar exam and is going to study at the ACM college in Guildford. Simon is very professional and organised and I would recommend him without hesitation.

'Thank you from us for the time and inspiration that you have given to our son this year! His huge love for music has only grown since he has been with you and it is so wonderful to see how inspired he is every week! Every surface top in our home is a drum to him and his growing passion for music makes us smile everyday! You are clearly a very gifted teacher and we are extremely grateful that you inspire our son as much as you do! Thank You!'​

"Simon is an AMAZING music tutor. Over the last few years he has tutored both my daughter and son in guitar and drums. Over the recent period he has continued with online lessons meaning the situation did not affect my Sons progress. I would highly recommend him to anybody who is looking for a music tutor .. the lessons are of quality and are good value price wise. My daughter has now gone of to Uni but my son loves his lessons and finds them engaging!"

"Simon has endless patience with his students - he’s very adaptable and responsive when there is something particular they want to try, and his positive energy is infectious."

'Thank you so much for today, what a lovely performance. So was great to see how my daughter is doing, she absolutely loves her lessons.'

We decided to move my son from school group lessons to private tuition several years ago.  In that time my son has progressed massively and passed his grades.  Simon is patient but seems to know how far to push my son to get higher standards for himself.  

Simon is an excellent tutor!

"Simon makes guitar learning fun. A man who lives and breathes guitars and music, the perfect tutor to keep your child enthused about guitar playing."

​

My son has been coming to Simon for quite a few years, first for guitar lessons and now for drumming. Simon has a really good rapport with the students he works with and is highly knowledgeable on all aspects of music playing and teaching.

"Simon has been teaching my children electric guitar and bass for the past year. His musical knowledge and teaching ability is first class. He explains things very clearly and patiently and as a result his students make excellent progress. Highly recommended."

‘As a somewhat ‘older’ learner I was pleased to find Simon happy and willing to take me on. I have been learning drums with him for 18 months now and he has always been flexible, knowledgable and encouraging. With his help I have progressed further than I thought possible. He is always ready with a good tip on how to improve technique and makes lessons enjoyable and fun!’

Our now 7 year old son has been learning drums with Simon for just over 2 years. He loves his lessons with Simon - Simon is friendly, fun - especially important for a young learner! - and has found ways to motivate and engage him that are just right for his level and personality. 

Simon tutors my son and has done great job so far. William has picked up a lot of knowledge and techniques from Simon, in a short time.

"My son loves his guitar lessons with Simon, he started as a complete beginner and is now an accomplished player. Simon keeps him engaged and has really encouraged his love of playing and to always push a bit harder. I wholeheartedly recommend Simon if you are looking for a music teacher."

Simon teaches both of my sons, one on the drums and one guitar. They started with him when they were 7 and 9 and they instantly loved their lessons. He is extremely good at coaching them through the inevitable frustrations of learning an instrument and manages to inspire and challenge them. I thoroughly recommend him.
