Meet your tutors
Gareth Tyler
Owner / Drum Tutor
From as young as I can remember, I found myself hitting pots and pans creating rhythms wherever and whenever I could. At age 9 I finally sat down in front of my first drum kit. I was always looking for inspiration and trying to imitate my favourite drummers, from Buddy Rich to Travis Barker. By age 12, I was gigging up and down the country.

Jon first started playing guitar at the age of 10, studying both classical and electric throughout his formative years and in 1998 was a finalist in Guitarist magazine’s “Young Guitarist of the Year”.

Roxy Parkins
Vocals Tutor
From the age of 3 my parents knew I was going to be a singer. I was that child that would serenade the waiting room at the doctors with my version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. As soon as I was old enough I went to music school to learn the basics of music theory and to explore the different types of instruments I could play, but when I heard the choir singing I knew I wanted to join.
James Cook

James started playing drums at the age of ten having been bought up on a steady diet of live music thanks to his parents.

Kyle Lowen
Drum Tutor
From playing around the city of London in underground club gigs with punk rock bands, to dressing head to toe in sequinned outfits playing for private events around the word, Kyle has been performing live since the day he picked up a pair of drum sticks.
George Moorhouse
Piano Tutor
My upbringing was surrounded by musical talent; my nan and aunt were Opera singers and my uncle was a professional pianist. This was the perfect situation for any young musician.
