About Simon

- What kind of experience do you have? On the performing side I've recorded for BBC Radio, BBC Television, Channel 4, Toured China with the Amadeus Orchestra, recorded sessions at Pinewood Studios, and played at the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall and Cadogan Hall. I've also done lots of theatre productions and pit work. I currently teach percussion in Hampshire, Surrey and London, privately and in schools. I have been a percussion tutor for over 10 years, teaching every level of music from beginners to diploma level. I coach and write for percussion ensembles and orchestras, and have coached on the English Brass Academy with Paul Archibald, and at the Dartington summer school, as well as the county youth ensembles in Sussex and Croydon. I have been an assistant tutor at the Trinity Jazz Summer School in London. - Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate? Yes. - Where and with whom did you train? I have studied across the UK, Europe and Africa with a diversity of incredible musicians including master djembe drummers in Guinea, West Africa. My teachers at music college were... Kevin Nutty - BBC Symphony Orchestra Mick Doran - English National Opera Gary Kettel - **Legendary Session Percussionist** Dawson Miller - World Percussion Roger Beaujolais - Jazz Vibes Gillian Mcdonagh - Marimba Dave Wickens - Jazz Drums Charles Fullbrook - Timpani Barak Schmool - Samba Batucada - Do you belong to any professional organisations? Musicians Union - Tell me about some of your current students. In addition to percussion students at Bedales and KES Witley, I have a 12-year-old currently about to sit grade 2, I'm working with an elderly percussionist with the dream of playing some Scott Joplin on the xylophone, and I'm working with an accomplished violinist, showing him some jazz drum patterns and techniques.

Simon has the knack of relating the repetitive exercises that every drummer must learn to the young drummer's thirst to play pieces. In the first year studying with Simon, my son has won a music scholarship to a prestigious secondary school, and achieved a distinction in the T/G Grade 5 exam. He is now also learning marimba/vibes, and recently performed his first piece on marimba at school. I cannot recommend Simon highly enough.

My son has only been learning the drums for a very short time and I am amazed at the pace of work he has covered, Simon has also helped with Thomas' confidence. I love listening to him play. Thank you Simon.
