Tuition
“Very good personal skills and communicates extremely well with his students, I would strongly endorse Dex as a teacher without any reservation.” -John Fahy- Minister of Eagles Nest Church
Dex offers one-to-one Tuition on both the Drums and Guitar.
Drum Kit Tuition
Drum wise Dex aims to keep lessons Informal, Flexible, Fun and Educational, and teaches with two fully equiped Drum kits, one for him to demonstrate from, and the other for the student, meaning the student spends the entire lesson at the drum kit. Dex has experience playing a huge variety of styles and has the knowledge, materials and resources to help students play the type of music they want.
Dex is at the forefront of technology using both Electronic and Acoustic drums and equipment in both his teaching and session work, giving the student a huge insight into how modern technology is used in the music industry today. Therefore along with learning how to play the drums, each student will get technical experience using modern technology. This includes being recorded in a studio environment and playing with a metronome, skills which equip the student readying them for wherever they want to take their drumming, be it playing for fun, playing with other musicians in bands, playing in front of an audience, and even taking their drumming on as a career. Dex also offers drum tuition specially designed to enter students for Rockschool graded exams.
Dex is dedicated to studying and improving himself as a Drummer, and loves sharing the things he has learned with every student, and can’t wait to help you on your own drumming journey. Feel free to get in touch via the Contact page.
Guitar and Bass Tuition
Before taking on a career as a session drummer, Dex played Guitar in a number of bands and still plays today on a number of his own projects and recordings, and spends a lot of time writing his own songs. Dex offers guitar and bass tuition to beginners and takes them through the basics of correct guitar technique, to playing their first chords, all the way to playing their favorite songs.
With a huge knowledge of what it means to be a working musician, Dex can help students by teaching them the key aspects of playing in a band, how they should relate to other members of the band, upkeep of their instrument (tuning, maintenance, etc) and even how to write their own songs (if that is of interest).
Whilst the main aim is to keep lessons Fun and Educational, Dex also aims to teach the student the kind of things they want to learn, as music is an art form, and every musician is different.
