Music Craft! (Instrumental Lessons, Song Writing, Music Theory...)

From 46 £ /h

Whether we're learning an instrument, writing a song, or developing our understand of musical ideas, letting music into our lives brings a unique and unmatched level of joy and fulfilment. As an award winning songwriter and professionally teaching musician myself, I love sharing my knowledge with those looking to learn a new skill, develop their craft, or simply take up a new hobby!

These lessons are open to absolutely anybody who want to try something new. Each lesson is specifically catered to the students needs and requirements, as we strive to develop whichever aspect of music craft you may be looking for! Want to sing and play your favourite songs? Want to write and produce your own music? Want to learn about what makes music "sound good"? We can cover any and all of these, and more!

Having taught 2 - 50+ year olds for 10+ years, my instrument specialties include guitar, electric guitar, piano, bass guitar, double bass, ukulele, trombone, voice and some other odd and wacky things! Additionally, I have been working as a professional song-writer for 10+ years, having studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and winning awards such as Best Song Written for Film and TV at the APRA Awards in Australia.

I look forward to hearing from you and getting started on our musical journey together :)

I am an orchestra performer with more than 15 years of experience. I offer instrumental tutoring both on violin and on viola, as well as music theory lessons.

I currently have a nice group of private students and most of them have decided to continuing their lessons going through skype and zoom in these challenging times.

You'll learn how to play confidently and with enjoyment, supported by a strong technique. The lessons will be held weekly, I'll give you directions on what books to use and when needed provide for learning material.

I believe music lessons can be a real joy and it is very important to me that my lessons inspire students to develop a passion for it!

I approach all my students individually and build up lessons in compliance with their goals and needs. If your goal is to take exams (ABRSM, Trinity) or if you want to learn how to play your favourite song on piano I will make the piano transcriptions considering your level and technical ability.

Preparing for ABRSM and Trinity exams

Classical, pop, jazz

I am a graduated music teacher and professional orchestra musician, have an experience over fifteen years playing in symphony orchestra and opera theatre, teaching children privately and in schools to play on several classical instruments including double bass, piano, singing, classical acoustic and bass guitars. I am a very dedicated and extremely passionate about music and possess the ability to inspire children and adults.

My lessons are heavily tailored to the needs and interests of my students, whether that be learning to write/edit/improve lyrics and melodies, a crash course in music theory, putting chord progressions together, finishing songs and developing productive routines, or adding some accountability and objective feedback to your process.

Working as a professional songwriter and studying MA Songwriting has equipped me with a wealth of tools to sharpen the technical craft of a song and to harness the creative process to bring the best out of other songwriters. In lessons, I draw from this to help new writers develop their own unique voices.

I'm a big believer in constantly writing and sharing so I like to set weekly briefs to encourage you to write in new ways and then give detailed and constructive feedback that will help you grow. I know from experience that sharing new songs can be unnerving so I take a lot of care helping people overcome this hurdle.

Outside of classes, I'm open to discuss songs, technique, career goals, co-writing, learning resources, and other topics that will help you develop as a songwriter.

I'm a professional songwriter with over nine years writing experience and countless co-writes in the tank. I regularly write with artists in the UK, around Europe, and in the US and have recently started taking my first production clients. As a writer, I'm primarily concerned by the lyric, form and structure side of writing but, with guitar as my main instrument, also usually write the majority of the musical elements.

My specialities are in alt-pop, indie-rock, acoustic pop, and folk but also have experience in RnB and country.

Performance coaching covers many areas, from being in a band to public speaking and simply developing confidence in daily life.

I teach guitar and other instruments, singing, songwriting, song arranging, stage presence techniques ( yes it can be learned!) and many more aspects to bring out the best of each individual, tailoring each class to the specific needs and goals of the student.

Whatever you wish to achieve, whether it be learning a new instrument or skill to performing on stage or preparing for auditions, this unique approach to custom designed classes has been successful and it would be my honour to share my knowledge with you!

I offer beginner to advanced tuition on Violin and Trumpet and additional classes on Jazz Piano.
I am a passionate and committed teacher and take great pride to see a student grow from nervous self-consciousness, through stumbling experimentation and discovery, towards overcoming challenges and growing in self-belief in order to find great reward in the concerted effort of musical endeavour.

Nothing is more important for making music that understanding how music works.
From the basics of tempo to sheet music analisys, we will open up the nature of music composition and it's effect on people, as well as learning basic guitar or piano if that is your wish.
I believe it is important to learn music from someone that has true passion for it, someone that would pass it's personal knowledge onto it's student.

I offer classes for beginners of guitar, bass, piano, drums, music theory, and music production.
My aim with these classes is to give the freedom of expression through the instrument and the knowledge of music to the student as soon as possible enough to be able to jam comfortably with friends at first and add the most complicated subjects once established confidence and passion, I often use music and philosophy to explain each other during lessons cause I'm really passionate about both and I personally often used music rules to compared to real-life to understand the way they both works.
I have a studio where I can give my lessons, especially for drummers and a piano at home if you don't have one.
If the student has the instrument and a place where to have lessons I'm also up to come to that place to let the student be in its comfortable environment.

Teach students fundamental techniques, skills, music theories and professional music background of Chinese music. Help students to achieve in recognised music exams and prepare students for performances.

Research has shown that singing can be good for you on many levels. It may help lower stress, boost immunity and lung function, enhance memory, improve mental health, and help you cope with physical and emotional pain. One of the best things about singing is that you don't have to be good at it to reap the rewards.
Regular piano playing offers different physical and physiological advantages to players. It sharpens fine motor skills, improves dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Music has also been shown to reduce heart and respiratory rates, cardiac complications, and to lower blood pressure and increase immune response.

Music is a rewarding and special way to gain a specific skill set, whether it's as a hobby or a budding profession. Learning the guitar is a brilliant way to open your mind to new movements, sounds and thought patterns. Most importantly, it is a fun adventure to embark on, no matter your age or musical background!
Whether you want to be a rockstar, the next great songwriter or looking for a new activity to challenge yourself with, we can start here!

My name is Lawrence. I'm currently offering limited teaching slots to new online and face-to-face students from my studio in Hackney Wick and home studio in Leyton.

As a tutor, I aim to build a solid technique and theoretical understanding relevant to students’ interests. This allows the student a foundation of tools to further their creative and technical studies and harness their own sound and voice through music. I teach electric bass and music theory from beginner to advanced students within soul, pop, funk, hip-hop, jazz fusion, metal prog, and more.

I have over 8 years of private and instituional teaching experience. I have taught juniors at The British Institute of Modern Music in Brighton and degree-level students at The Waterbrear College of Music in Brighton. I also possess a BA(Hons) in music performance, and I'm certified with an enhanced CRB/DBS, Child Safeguarding & First Aid at Work.

If you’d like to work towards gaining accreditation, I have experience working with both Trinty & MTB Exams curriculum.
