Student Success
‐I was lucky enough to have Darren as a tutor when I first picked up a guitar, and without his guidance I probably wouldn’t be finishing a guitar‐based degree at BIMM right now! An unbelievable player and such a passionate, genuine and approachable tutor – if you get a chance to take lessons with Darren, don’t hesitate!‑
Daniel Keville
‐I had the pleasure of taking many lessons with Darren over the years, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. As a third‐level graduate of a music college, I can honestly say I learned more in a few thirty‐minute sessions with him than I did in entire semesters.‑
