I am an Oxford educated musician with experience both in the classical and pop world. My focus as a musician is as a recording artist and performer but I teach classical and pop piano from beginner to advanced level. I like to tailor my classes depending on what my students are looking to achieve, whether in building technical skills, learning pieces or songs, or developing improvisational and songwriting techniques.

I teach piano and keyboard skills with a friendly and encouraging approach. My students learn technical exercises and pieces/songs carefully chosen to suit each individual and I also incorporate relevant music theory. I teach on an upright acoustic piano at my place in Wedding and in some cases travel to the student for lessons.

ENGLISH-SPEAKING PIANO TUTOR

I teach adults of all levels!

I often mentor people who are just starting out, helping them develop their interest in the instrument and play the music they love.

A lot of students come in with anxiety about how good or fast they're going to be able to learn. I work to build a respectful, supportive environment where you feel comfortable developing and learning at your own pace.

For intermediate and advanced students, I teach with a particular focus on fundamental technique through études, and developing musicality.

Oftentimes, as hobbyists, we have holes from our early studies that prevent us from developing later in life. My aim is to help correct that. You should leave with renewed confidence to tackle pieces that have intimidated or eluded you in the past.

I hope to teach you soon!

Want to take learn piano but not keen on the classical music part? No worries! I offer piano lessons focusing on popular music styles that will help you build your confidence and have you performing in front of others in no time.

This is perfect for teenagers or adults who want to learn but aren't interested in learning classical pieces. I only offer 1 / 1,5 / 2-hour sessions to give us plenty of time to work on the techniques, and, ideally, play a whole song during a single session.

Jazz music is a highly appreciated music genre in today's era. As a jazz musician, our understanding of chord progressions and scales are essential for us to be able to improvise or even reharmonize songs. This class is specifically designed for beginners and intermediates. Through this class I will share you my experience with jazz, how to improvise,reharmonize, participate in a band and play jazz standards. In addition, if you are a total beginner, I will teach you the basic of your choice of instrument.

In this class you will be taught the basic of jazz music, including several jazz styles and theories.Jazz music is highly appreciated as of these days. As a jazz musician, it is important to know and understand the scales and chords, as they are the building blocks of music itself. Through this class I can share you my experience with jazz such as improvising, reharmonization playing in a band or even playing jazz standards.
Furthermore, if you are a complete beginner, i can teach you how to play the instrument, such as the fingering and the technique.

Hello, my name is Oscar and I am a Violin and Piano teacher from the UK, now living in Bristol, after several years of living abroad.

I've been teaching and performing on both instruments for 5 years, during, and after my studies at the Royal Northern College of Music. I have taught children from the age of four, up to adults in their late sixties, and I find all spectrums of age and ability rewarding and engaging to work with. Regarding Violin tuition, I am happy to teach up to any level. On the piano, I, however, currently prefer to teach up to an ABRSM grade 8 level, and not far above it.
My musical endeavors, whilst focused predominantly on the Classical style in my early childhood, have become quite varied and I am a great lover of many different styles. I play regularly in Klezmer bands, Celtic Folk groups and I run a Gypsy Jazz Collective, besides performing with Orchestra's, Small string ensembles, and as a Solo Violinist.
Whilst I wouldn't consider myself to be an expert, I thoroughly enjoy guiding people through the early stages of learning to improvise, and I am equally comfortable working with students in this way as I am teaching in a more traditional, classically-orientated manner.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I teach kids and young adults ages 7 to 16 who are still in the beginning stages of their piano learning journey. During the class, my students will be introduced to music theory, learn how to read notes, and improve their piano playing skills by learning a piano piece. The focus of the class is to build a solid musical foundation that will last. Nonetheless, I try my best to keep my classes exciting and adjust them based on individual needs.

Class includes:
- Music theory
- Piano exercises for technique
- Note-reading
- Learning a piece + tips
- Sheet music to take home

I have 13 years of experience playing classical piano and am currently studying music production here in Berlin.

I am happy to teach interested beginners of all ages or advanced students, depending on their needs, piano (classical/early music/new music) and improvisation.

I find it essential and important to integrate one's own emotions into the interpretation and to make the music authentic and un-mechanical.

I've been waiting for you, you've come to the right place! I understand that you want to learn all the secrets of playing the piano/keyboard. Music is a beautiful adventure, and I hope that with my guidance, it will become even more beautiful for you. Theory, practice, musical worldview, and everything you'd like to know—if it's within my power to teach you, you'll learn it in my lessons. You're welcome! :))

I am a teacher, composer, band member, and above all, a pianist. Teaching is my greatest passion. I have been teaching both children and adults for five years. I am a patient teacher with an open approach to learning, and I strive to impart knowledge in a pleasant atmosphere. I have been playing the piano since I was a child, and over my 17-year journey with the instrument, I have learned many methods that accelerate learning, and I am eager to share them with you! I gained my musical education over time at the Krakow School of Jazz, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Dominik Wania, Prof. Haruka Matsumoto, and Prof. Jan Kosiak. I started with classical music, performing my first concerts with pieces by Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy, and Mozart. Then came jazz and incredible experiences with Hancock, Chick Corea, and Bill Evans. Currently, I am trying to find my own musical path both as a solo artist and as part of a band. Music is a continuous journey into the unknown, along with discovering oneself and expressing one's emotions.
