Bio
Hi There! My name is Jeremy and I am a full time musician/teacher based in Auckland NZ. I have been playing music ever since I remember. I was brought up in a musical family starting on the trumpet/cornet. I played in a brass band from the age of 4 where I learnt how to read music. However I was always drawn hugely to the drums and self taught myself from 9 years old until the age of 13 when I started getting drum lessons.
I completed my 3 year Bachelor of Music at Victoria University in 2017, studying drums and percussion under Lance Philip. This was a great experience and taught me a lot about playing with other musicians, and going into depth on both the technical and musical sides of playing the drums. I also completed my honours degree gaining first class in 2021.
I am currently the only drummer for the Royal New Zealand Navy Band, playing a whole plethora of instruments.
I am apart of many other musical groups ranging in all kinds of styles of music and play at various venues around Auckland. I love all aspects of music and love to inspire others to play/practice/write/and enjoy music.
Teaching Info
When I teach I aim to make a comfortable, supportive and educational environment for my students to learn in. My lessons are customised to suit the goals, abilities and tastes of each student focusing on what the student wants to achieve. It’s also very important for me to teach the students how to teach themselves. This allows the student to feel more encouraged to practice, and to make better progress.
I have good knowledge in technique, reading, writing and musicianship. I aim to give my students a well rounded education so they have the ability to play in many different groups/styles to open many opportunities in their musical journey.
Mobile lessons are available at your own house for an extra $10.
