We highly recommend White Dog Music! Simon is knowledgeable, professional and great with his clients, young and old! Our son looks forward to his lesson every week. Not only is this because he loves playing the instrument but mainly due to Simon’s relaxed, friendly and enthusiastic teaching! Thank you Simon!"
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 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!
‘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

Online Tuition
Would you like online tuition? Are you an early bird? I offer online lessons before school from 6am.
Online tuition can be tremendously beneficial in that it gives the student the option to work with tutors regardless of location, I have taught group and individual lessons extensively online since March 2020. Online lessons are delivered through Zoom which I have found to be a very usable platform that offers great sound options especially for musical applications.
​
I pride myself on delivering the the same high levels of tuition online as I do when when teaching face to face and as such my students have continued to improve and develop, with many progressing through multiple grades.
I have a custom fitted studio featuring green screen and including numerous cameras and angles for all instruments. If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to CONTACT ME. You can also find out more about ONLINE LESSONS HERE.
Student Performances
Student performance is a really important part of the process when learning to play a musical instrument. With this in mind I have created White Dog TV to give students an outlet to showcase achievements by playing along to backing tracks. All audio is recorded professionally in my customised studio which includes video editing and green screen technology. Performances are posted to the White Dog Music youtube channel where friends and family are able to see the students performance in full.

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.
Simon is super with children, he makes lessons fun, informative and friendly.
My son has learnt so much and this is due to Simon's patience and calm style guitar lessons. He bigs my son up so no question is seemed to be daft and it grows his confidence.
My son says: He is kind, funny and super cool. I get to learn so much and I love my lessons with him.
Highly recommend.
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!
@2018 White Dog Music - With love, with passion and for my boy and girls always.
