About ADRIAN
I have been teaching for over 20 years both privately and as a music teacher for various music authorities and universities ( Wolverhampton and Leeds College of Music). Over those years many of my students have got into top music colleges and universities and some are working as professional musicians and teachers. Aside from teaching I am also a professional musician and have travelled the country working with theatre shows and national and international artists. I find as a player it keeps my enthusiasm high which feeds into my lessons.
- What kind of experience do you have?
I work for Entrust music hub in Staffordshire and teach in various local private schools. I also taught as a peripatetic brass teacher in Dudley for 12 years. In the past have taught at Wolverhampton University and Leeds College of Music and also have 2 years experience as a classroom music teacher and many years experience as a professional musician.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes I'm on the update service
- Where and with whom did you train?
I started lessons with Frank Waddington in Lancashire before moving onto Ian Hamilton (ex greandier guards), Roy Curran (ex C.B.S.O.)and then at Leeds College of music I was taught by Fred Kelly (ex Northern Radio Big Band) and Bob Taylor (ex Drifters). Since graduating I have had some lessons from Bobby Shew (USA) an internationally respected trumpet player.

My pupils range in age from 8-65 with around half being adults and half being school pupils. One of my ex-pupils is currently earning a living in London as a professional musician, playing with the likes of Gloria Gaynor, Lily Allen and more recently Noel Gallagher. In exams from last term all my pupils passed with either merits or distinctions. Some pupils have gone on to university and music colleges around the country.

Perfect! Adrian was a great tutor and
my son Liam learned so much about playing jazz during lessons with Adrian. He's got real expertise and was incredibly supportive and encouraging in taking Liam, step by step, through all the concepts he had know for his audition. I highly recommend Adrian as a tutor.
Liam's now in year 2 Jazz and loving every minute of it!
Many thanks Adrian!- Liam was a delight to teach and I hope he's doing well!ADRIAN's response :A
