Marc makes music magic to learn.
Tracy Candy
I have been a gigging musician for 8 years, but have learnt so much from marc, he is easily the nicest guy in the world to get on with, and has a way of showing you what to play, or how to play which is so uplifting it really is an honour to call him easily the nicest and best drum tutor around.
Nick Player
Marc is the best drummer I have ever seen. He is a very good teacher as well. He is also very helpful. Marc has been the most helpful guy I have ever met. he has helped me with my pieces from my boom and has helped me to learn some tunes and songs that I want to try to learn. Marc is an amazing drummer. He is always in a good mood and is always ready to do some drumming. His drumming is the most amazing drumming in the history of drumming that I have ever heard. Marc is such a cheerful, kind and helpful guy that I have ever met. When I started drumming I could barely play a simple rock beat, but now after about a year and a half he has helped me get to grade 3. I really could not of done that without the great help from marc. He has also helped me a lot by teaching me to learn all those different drumming techniques. Iv loved my lessons with marc so much because marc is a great guy. Thanks marc for being so kind and helpful and helping me with all those techniques. Thanks :):):):):):):)

Annette Todd
Marc is an amazing drummer to watch and learn from, and i thought... if he is good enough to get a scholarship from the best music school in the world, then he is good enough to teach me!
Lewis Dyer
Marc has just recorded on my album and was so easy to work with, so professional and a really lovely guy. If I ever decide to learn the drums I know where to go!
Kerrie Angel
Marc is a fantastic drum teacher, he is very positive and up beat and makes the kid feel "cool."
Vanessa Jackson
Marc is the best drum tutor I have had in the ten years I have been playing drums. He is always smiling and creates a warm environment for which to learn in. What is also evident is his love and passion for music which is reflected in not only how he talks about music but also in the time and dedication that he has clearly given his own playing. If only all music teachers were like him!
Chris Ballard
Marc is an incredible drummer and a fantastic and down to earth teacher, who always has lots of time and patience for his pupils. I have recommended Marc to a number of young drummers as a tutor and bands who require a reliable drummer.

Marc is a great teacher. One of the best I've ever had!!
Josh Blair
I had never picked up a drum before so was a complete novice, Marc made things simple and easy to understand, was very fun to learn from and is a great teacher. His methods worked really well for me and now I am to play with confidence.
M Calkin
If i could have Mark play for me everytime I do a gig/session...I would. Unfortunately for me everyone wants him and he is literally at the top of his game. He is one of the baddest cats around and hands down has NO peers. His grooves are super deep. He is very easy to get along with. I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a drum tutor because he has the patience and the drive to instil excellence and pride among those lucky enough to be under his guidance.
Jondi Mac
Marc is an excellent drum teacher and my kids really look forward to his lesson on sunday mornings. They have achieved a lot since they started lesssons with Marc, iinfact my youngest daughter who is only 3 is another very active student of Marc's and will never miss a lesson . we are so glad that he can come to us.
Ami Metha
I started learning the drums quite late in life, but wanted a drum teacher who i
could connect with as i am not the sharpest tool in the box.
I touched lucky with
Marc, he's a great bloke who is patient and explains techniques in a way that you
can understand. He takes into account any thing you are particularly interested in
and builds a lesson around it.
My drumming has really come along in leaps and bounds,
as has my confidence around the kit.
He is a brilliant teacher, brilliant drummer,
and an all round good guy.
I would be happy to recommend him to any one who is interested
in learning the drums.
Barry Moore
As a complete novice, and someone of "older" years I was a bit concerned about going
along to my first lesson with this young lad!
I needn't have worried. Marc's relaxed
style set me at ease immediately and the lesson was so interesting I couldn't believe
it had ended and couldn't wait to go back for my next one.
Thank you Marc, not only
have you giving me something to look forward to, you have restored my faith that
there are still truly great teachers out there.
Steve Calkin
Marc Wotherspoon was a great teacher, he taught me so much in such a short space of time, as he kept everything so much fun, I went from a novice to a quite good (even if i do say so myself) drummer, able to understand some complex rhythms & phrases, I thank him so much as I'm now in a band & we're doing o.k...
Allan Clarke
Marc has taught my son for a few years now and is a very good teacher. I feel Marcs
friendly and cheery attitude towards his young pupils is a great confidence booster
for them, it certainly works with my boy!
James looks forward to his lessons with
Marc and likes him very much, which is half the battle for any teacher!
There is
no doubt in my mind that James' drumming has greatly improved since Marc took him
on as a pupil.
Marc, according to James, is an excellent drummer and a real "cool"
guy -
Marc is always cheerful at the lessons and
always willing to chat and report on progress or what needs to be worked on afterwards.
Alex Kerr
Marc is an excellent drum teacher.He is very inspiring and my 2 boys enjoy their lessons immensely as he makes them great fun, often teaching them how to drum to their favourite tunes. Thanks Marc!
Sarita Chopra
Mr Wotherspoon's energy and enthusiasm has helped move my son forward. He is always positive and praises efforts made.
