Teaching feedback from students
“Highly recommend Jamie for his teaching, our son enjoys his lessons each week. Jamie is very patient and easy to talk to. Definitely 5 stars from us!”
"I have really enjoyed learning the drums with Jamie. He knows how to encourage and praise-just enough- while challenging you with a wide variety of rhythms and drumming techniques. Nothing is too difficult, yet, and the practice room itself is well-appointed and carefully sanitised.”
“Jamie is a Great Teacher”
I'm so pleased that I decided to take lessons with Jamie at his drum academy! What's great about his teaching is that he makes it fun, and instantly found my weakness so that we could have a focus for the session. His lessons are packed with vital tools to overcome what you are struggling with. I am already feeling the benefits of having lessons with him! He also gave me some of the best practice exercises to take home which I am still working on. Thanks Jamie !

“Jamie is a professional teacher with so much to bring to each lesson, I have learnt music theory and lots of concepts within drumming. I would highly recommend him for both in-person lessons and online lessons.”
“Jamie Woodford has been teaching my 11 year old daughter drums for the last 2 months. Absolutely first class 1:1 tuition. Very focused and engaging lessons delivered in an excellent environment of his Studio at Jamie Woodford Drum Academy. Jamie's lessons have been very progressive, as he explains the music theory in a very clear and concise fashion and encourages and allows his pupil to play to their full potential.”
My lessons with Jamie have blown my mind.
Jamie has outstanding interpersonal skills which quickly put me at ease and built a working relationship with him, which already I have started to see progress.
Furthermore, his ability to understand his student so easily allows him to break down his lesson to tailor fit the content and in turn getting the most from both.
I am so looking forward to spending future lessons with Jamie as I know not only will I enjoy it but the progress we make each time is inspiring

Jamie is a really talented artist but also a talented teacher which is a rare combination. My children have really enjoyed their lessons and have grown in skill and confidence. Thank you for always listening to them and encouraging them to do their best.
