Sean Bethune - Drum tutor
Days teaching: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday
When Sean started playing drums in 1996 he was unaware of how quickly he would become hooked and how big a part of his life playing drum set would become. He learned at Stage 2000 for five years and picked up lots of tips and enthusiasm; now he is a tutor he hoped to pass those things on.

Lindsay Duncan - Guitar Tutor
Days teaching: Wednesday
Lindsay Duncan has been playing for 20 and teaching for 15 years. Early access to his aunts’ record collections led to (some may say wholly unhealthy) obsessions with Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Alice Cooper and The Carpenters! Which led to early Queen, which led to Deep Purple, which led to very annoyed/deafened parents. He THOUGHT he liked music, until he discovered the Black Crowes at which point he became EVANGELICAL about music. Don’t even THINK about getting him started.
