I can offer online lessons for brass instruments, piano, and music theory. I have over ten years of experience teaching all ages from 5-50 years old. I consistently get great results from entering students through the exam process and have many kids on scholarships at their schools.
I believe in a positive and fun experience for all students no matter their ability.

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.

Piano and theory lessons up to grade 8
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.

Violin lessons with me are individual and catered to the needs of each student. Beginner violinists will discover the violin through a variety of engaging theory, aural and practical exercises. More experienced violinists will be able to unlock new technique as well as discover new and exciting repertoire.

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.

Whether you want to sing for fun, be coached through the ABRSM graded singing exams, or brush up your understanding of music through theory lessons, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Singing Ethos:
My belief is that everyone can learn to sing when taught properly and holistically and can experience the joy of discovering the unique qualities of their individual voice. This is a joy which I share with my students and why I find teaching so rewarding. My experience is predominantly (but not exclusively) with children and I love to watch as their love for their voice grows.

What you can expect:
I believe it is important to teach with an emphasis on technique and vocal health, so from the first few lessons students learn about the body and the way the voice works. I address this through exercises and breathing techniques as well as songs appropriate to age and stage; (usually based around the appropriate ABRSM Grades). I strive to create a fun, nurturing environment where learning and confidence can be optimised.
I currently study with Sophie Grimmer, a highly respected and accomplished vocal teacher based in London who has performed at venues across Europe and London such as ENO. Therefore everything I teach my own students is informed by the world class tuition I am lucky enough to receive, (but of course adjusted so that it is age appropriate). This ensures that the tuition I give is always current and reflects the ever evolving industry standards for vocal tuition.

I look forward to hearing from you!

*** Music Theory lessons with Dr Jonathan ***

I am a composer and educator based in South-East London who has recently obtained a PhD in composition from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, having previously studied at Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Music. My passion for music feeds directly into my passion for teaching, and I hope that I can inspire as many people as possible to deepen their love of music by learning to understand it from the inside out.

I have been teaching music for over 10 years both in schools and as a private tutor, ranging from interactive workshops with primary students to university-level one-to-one composition. I have previously been the resident composition teacher at Eton College (2015-17) and City of London School for Girls (2017-20), as well as delivering workshops at schools around the country in a visiting capacity. I am as comfortable working with students taking their very first steps in theory and composition as I am with those who are more advanced, and can teach across a variety of styles and genres including classical, jazz, rock and musical theatre.

As a tutor, I always seek a student-led approach, adapting content and delivery to individual tutees’ needs. Above all, whether in theory or composition, I always try to enthuse students by conveying my own love of music and encouraging theirs. No element of music or musical development can be considered in isolation, and so I seek to link up whatever a student is working on with their wider musicianship and listening – classical or otherwise – to put things into context. Another important part of my teaching practice is preparing tailor-made resources for students which are theirs to keep, ensuring that any material covered can be revised and consolidated.

Time is split between teaching key concepts (including providing tailor-made resources) and looking through student work, always balancing the discussion between aspects of the work which are more or less successful. While most of my theory students take ABRSM theory grades, I also teach theory and musicianship more broadly without focusing on specific exams and boards.

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.

Students will be able to play songs within a short period of time and understand more about the beauty of Chinese Music.

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'm a jazz student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire going into my 3rd year- with extensive teaching experience ranging from preschool to pension, I have helped people to ace grades 1-8 and pushed long-time musicians to take fresh strides in understanding the bass.
