Charlotte Rowbotham
Parent
"Billy's lessons are both structured and fun. He explains things really well for my child and has built both his confidence and his skills on the drums."
Nicole Maddock
Intermediate Student
"Billy is great at suggesting appropriate practice for me to improve my technique and also suggesting songs to learn which are based on music that I like. I would recommend him to students of all ages."
Jonathan Carr
Beginner Student
"I decided to pick up the drums with no prior experience at all. Within just a few months Billy has helped me go from complete beginner to feeling confident on the drums, playing along to songs and improvising with drum beats and drum fills."
