Teaching at Music Ape Studios

It’s been really cool this last few months getting into doing regular lessons with some new students at Music Ape Studios.

Freelance Drumming in Bristol UK

I’ve fallen in Love with Drums. With Rhythm and music and dancing and social activity….

and that’s why I love doing this!
