Damian is a fantastic flute teacher! I look forward to my lessons each time. Damian teaches with good humour, lots of patience and draws on his extensive experience in performance, teaching and music production to deliver really well-rounded and enjoyable lessons. I thoroughly recommend him!

I have two children with Damian, one plays the flute and one saxophone. They both really enjoy attending lessons with him. Both have shown massive improvement and love for music since being with him. His also helped achieve music grades at a high level Been very happy with all that his done within both children over the years.

Damian has been an absolute winner for my daughter. She absolutely loves her lessons and is already reading music a couple of months in. I would highly recommend Damian, he has really helped her with her confidence and made learning music a pleasure.

Damian continues to be a fantastic flute instructor for my daughter. Right from the beginning, he made it clear that playing the flute did not have to be 'boring.' He continues to enhance her breathing and playing techniques, guiding her in shaping pieces in a more musical fashion. Damian's guidance was also much appreciated in helping us select a new flute. Recently, my daughter prepared for her ABRSM Grade 5 under Damian's tutelage, and she passed with Distinction; so I am more than happy to recommend him as a tutor!

I have studied with Damian for seven months now and thoroughly enjoy my lessons even though I find learning to play sax quite difficult and frustrating at times. Throughout Damian has consistently focused on the positives and encouraged me with his excellent interpersonal and teaching skills which has given me the confidence to go for it. As a mature student I really appreciate Damian’s patient approach when I struggle to read music, play the right notes, count and get the timing right all at the same time. On track to go from zero to Grade 3 within a year and Damian is making this ambition a reality. I have no hesitation in recommending Damian as a music teacher.

Damian is so patient and really encouraging. I am loving learning the sax just for my own pleasure. I am so glad I found him. He really is an exceptional teacher. Susan

I started Sax lessons with Damian in January having only played the flute previously some 40 years ago. Damian always makes the lessons enjoyable with a mix of technical focus and recording of songs of my choice. He ensures that I maintain a focus on my sound quality as well as my accuracy in playing of pieces and guides me through corrections that I need to make. He has already helped me through grade 3 and I would thoroughly recommend him.

Damian is a Wonderful music teacher who lives and breaths the art. I have enjoyed every session and gotten a huge amount of learning through even just the few sessions we have had together. I find that Damian noticed my learning styles and tailors his teaching to challenge me in a way that feels fun and exciting. I would recommended Damian over and over again!

I started lessons with Damian last year after over 8 years of not playing. Damian eased me back in and built up my confidence back to when I was a regular performer. I highly recommend Damian no matter where your skill level is at. I thoroughly enjoyed every single one of my lessons and appreciated the hour that took me away from my busy day to day where I could forget the world and just jam together for an hour. Thank you for making my transition back into music so fun, enjoyable and therapeutic!

Amazing teacher, extremely patient with my 7 yr old who still can barely hold the weight of an Alto sax! Clearly not just a highly professional musician but an exceptional teacher - after just 10 half hour lessons, the little man has been making rapid progress. Couldn't recommend Damian any higher!

Damian is a WONDERFUL saxophone teacher! In only a few lessons my technique, tone, fluency and especially my confidence on the saxophone has improved immensely. Damian has such an extensive knowledge of music and his patience and methodology is outstanding. Thanks to his guidance I've found a new love for the instrument and can't recommend him enough!

Quickly picked up on the challenges I had in getting back up to speed after a long break - provided solutions that allowed me to completely transform my sound over the course of just our first session. Very good teacher!

Damian has been an excellent teacher to me. I never imagined that I can learn to play flute at this age. Those alien looking symbols are so simplified by Damian while explaining. Great Knowledge, great patience and great teaching skills. Thank you Damian. For me still long way to go.

Damian has been teaching my 10 year old the saxophone for the last 6 weeks. He has been playing for 3 years but had lost his passion for the instrument. Since taking it up with Damian he is re-Inspired; loving that he’s able to record to backing tracks, having a say in the music he plays, really enjoying the focus on improvisation and now practices willingly several days a week! He loves his after school sessions and Damian makes him feel very comfortable and unpressurised. His playing has come on massively in a few short weeks; very impressive.

Damien is a great teacher and really gets what I want to achieve. He is patient…needs to be…and very enthusiastic about the style and genre of music I like, which then encourages me to practice!!

Damian is a great teacher and a gifted musician. He’s been able to tailor my lessons to suit my individual needs which has been brilliant, as other teachers I’ve been to in the past have wanted me to work to their set lesson plans. I’ve never developed as quickly in just a short few lessons as I have with the ones I’ve had in the last month with Damian. Highly recommend

Damian is really good at this! I'm an old, not that good, flautist just taken up the tenor saxophone and he has been able to take me from beginning without making me use beginner books. Great on technique, sound improvement and throws in lots of little helpful tips all the time. I highly recommend Damian (just don't steal my slot!).

Having started as an adult beginner who can already read music, thanks to Damian I can now play some advanced melodies on the tenor sax after just a few short weeks. Damian helps you experiment with different reeds, mouthpieces and even instruments to create the perfect sound. His infectious enthusiasm for all things related to the saxophone makes every lesson informative and enjoyable.

Damian is very good at getting concepts across. He does a lot of pre and post lesson preparation and tailors the lessons to your requirements. He has helped me improve my sax tone, time feel, reading, music theory and improv. An excellent teacher

Damian’s a first class music teacher who carefully guides, teaches and encourages. My daughter really enjoys her flute lessons and is looking forward to learning the saxophone with him. His vast experience is felt and you feel lucky to have him as a teacher- I can’t recommend him highly enough.
