I have been having lessons with Nigel for around 5 years and would definately recommend him. Nigel is an excellent teacher who has the ability to make learning to play the drums properly a fun thing to do whilst improving your playing with each lesson . My playing is million times better for having him teach me. He isn't too bad on the drums himself, as much as pains me to say it!! Keep up the good work Nigel.

I have been learning the drums with Nigel for around 18 months now. I had never played before but it had always been a dream for me to do. Now my dream is a reality! I felt nervous at the start as the drums seem to be 'male dominated' however Nigel really made me feel at ease with the kit and his teaching style is excellent. I would highly recommend Nigel to anyone that would like to learn to play the drums. Thank you Nigel for putting up with my randomness!!! :)

I have been taught by Nigel for about a year. I did not know anything about playing the drums (I used to reproduce what I was listening to). With him, I learn't everything: basic patterns, techniques, (para diddles, doubles), counting (really important!!!). With him, I tasted what double bass can be like - real FUN! I wish I had stayed in Leeds to continue lessons with a really good guy and professional teacher.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone who would like to learn how to play the drums!

My name is Adam lockwood. I am a 16 year old student and have been drumming for 6 years. Nigel has been teaching me since April 2007. Nigel's a nice guy who is easy to get on with, he never gets frustrated or loses his temper. He is a great teacher and drummer. His teaching got me a B in GCSE music and my drumming has improved tremendously.

Maisie my granddaughter who is now 16 has been having drum lessons from Nigel
since January 08 and until recently I sat in on most. I am very impressed with Nigel's teaching and Maisies progress and I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel to anyone wanting lessons.

I am 50 years old this year and decided 'now is the time!' to start drumming! I've had 4 lessons from Nigel so far and from cluelessness i've already graduated to (albeit in a basic way), playing along with some favourite tunes. Nigel has helped me, step by step to grasp the rudiments of playing and i am really starting to have some fun! lizzie

Nigel has been teaching our 8 year old son Harry for over a year now. We are all very impressed and would happily recommend Nigel to any young aspiring drummers and their parents.

As a girl drummer I was quite aprehensive having a teacher come into my home to teach me,but after a chat with Nigel I soon felt at ease, Since he has been teaching me my confidence has grown and my friends say my playing and time keeping is brill.

Thanks Nige
Look forward to my next lesson
