I’m a professional musician who studied on the highly regarded jazz course at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance; whilst at Trinity I also studied Flute with members of some of London’s prestigious orchestras. I've performed all over London at well known venues like Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and The South Bank Centre but also played around in the city in jazz clubs like Kansas Smitty’s and Olivers. As well as performing in London I’ve played all around the UK and abroad at festivals such as the New Generations Festival in Florence (playing with American jazz artists such as Dominic Farinacci and Dan Tepfer). I’m also a highly experienced and regard teacher having taught all the way from university level to primary school. My teaching adapts to the pupil after we identify the areas we want to and wish to work on but also aspects of playing i think you need to improve or will be good to work on. I can also provide theory lessons

I have taught the guitar, music theory and GCSE and A-Level Music syllabuses for six years to students of all ages and abilities and across every imaginable genre.

I have a Doctorate in Music, Christ's Cambridge. I am able to teach piano, guitar, double bass, bass guitar, ukulele, banjo and mandolin, some to advanced level and others to conservatoire level.

This class offers a comprehensive musical education designed to help students of all ages and skill levels unlock their musical potential. The teaching categories include beginner-level piano, ukulele, and violin playing, as well as music theory and composition for students from beginner to advanced levels. Our aim is to build a solid musical foundation while fostering creativity and a deeper understanding of music. In addition to instrumental skills, students will learn how to read and write musical notation, understand harmonic structures, and create their own compositions.

For students interested in language acquisition, I also offer Portuguese and English language instruction tailored for non-native speakers. These classes focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, helping students to build confidence and fluency. Whether you're looking to learn a new language from scratch or improve your existing skills, my approach integrates language learning with cultural insights, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging educational experience.

I'm an internationally award-winning composer, creative director and producer, lecturer and researcher, teaching GCSE (all exam boards), A-level (all exam boards), piano, composition, theory, aural, history, orchestration, and undergraduate/postgraduate degree courses/modules.

I have taught children from the age of 4+ up to adults (70+). I teach mainly online.

I teach and guide each student differently, depending on their experience, commitment and what they wish to achieve - from relaxed music making, casual lessons, or rigorous work for exams, GCSE, A-level, degrees, entry exams, concerts or competitions. I currently teach online.

Music Theory can be daunting, or even boring. With over a decade of professional experience as a teacher, copyist/arranger, performer & composer, I can teach you or your child Music Theory in a bitesize, friendly way.

This class would be ideal for those who are:
- studying for any theory exams with ABRSM or Rockschool/Trinity, from Grade 1 all the way up to Grade 8.
- applying to a college/university degree programme where they might need to brush up on their theory knowledge or qualification
- an enthusiastic or gifted musician in practice, who wants to contextualise and bolster their general understanding with the 'whys'/'hows' of music, and not just the 'whats'.

I offer 1-to-1 tuition for piano, saxophone and music theory.
Experienced tutor teaching all ages, from young children to adults.
You can learn classical, pop, jazz, or theatrical genres.
We can work towards grades and exams with ABRSM.
I am an Associate of the Royal Schools of Music.

In my lessons, I adopt a personalised approach tailored to each student's unique musical tastes and aspirations. My objective is to establish a strong foundation while fostering a deep connection between the student and the music they love, ensuring that lessons are both comfortable and enjoyable.

Drawing inspiration from my own mentors, I strive to instil a lifelong passion for music by focusing on technical proficiency, developing individual sound, and promoting self-expression and creativity.

I cultivate an environment where making mistakes is part of the learning process, providing a supportive and effective educational experience.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills, I'm here to help you grow as a musician. Together, we’ll work towards your musical goals and enjoy the process of making music.

I am a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where I attained two Masters degrees (MMus and MPerf) with distinction. I work with students of all ages and abilities, from teaching students their very first notes to preparing them for auditions at UK conservatories.
