About Me

I am a guitarist, singer/songwriter and tutor all at once! Music has always been my passion from Avery young age and teaching it to students and watching them progress is a very close second. I love sharing my knowledge and personal experience with other people. For me, it's a big part in how we all learn.

I teaching methods for guitar and other music related topics revolves around three things:

1. learning primary through doing.
2. Apply musical knowledge & concept practically instead of just reading about them.
3. Learning collaboratively with others.

I think learning to play an instrument is a wonderfully and deeply rewarding pursuit. I am more than happy to help you, your friend, your child or other family member with this incredible journey. All you have to do is get in touch!

I have been writing songs now for 30 years, including being asked to write lyrics for local charities and for special occasions. Songwriting theory and musical theory and compositions can often take the fun out of lifting and playing music - whether its a guitar, microphone, drum kit!

These 1 hour sessions give the customer an opportunity to explore musical styles, rhythms, while personalising a song for their own use. Every song created will be supplied in an electronic copy, with the lyrics displayed in a certificate explaining the background to the song/ lyrics/ tune etc.

Option1 : Tutor and customer discuss the scope of the song - whwether the song is to be personal - about someone, somewhere, a particular event - whether the song is to be uplifting or melancholy, with distortion, or smooth? These personalised songs can be so well received; especially with a copy of a certificate explaining why it was written, when it was written and for whom.

Option 2: The Random Song - pick some random words and create a masterpiece; see the story come to life as the song verses merge into a meaningful chorus.... or let the fun begin, and let the children ( small and grown up) have loads of ideas which randomly converge into YOUR song! Can be done in person as part of a 'party' or online over Teams etc.

No two sessions are ever the same; and multiple members can dial in if you want them to share in the Songwriting process!

Please feel free to ask questions, I have sample certificates available, and would love to hear from you!
Every session comes with an e version of the recorded song, and an electronic copy of the certificate, showing the lyrics and details of the songwriter, date created/recorded.

The possibilities open to a guitar player are as varied and vibrant as all of music itself. From campfire strumming to bebop improvisation, classical interpretation to amped-up rock, guitarists have access to a wide range of ways to express themselves, expand their physical and mental capabilities and simply have fun. This course will help you along your guitar journey.

I can teach from the ABRSM or Trinity classical or popular music syllabus for students seeking to pass exams, or create a personalised lesson plan for each student looking at various styles of classical, jazz, folk and popular music from outside of a formal syllabus. Building technical and theoretical skills as applied to the guitar will also form a core part of our lessons.

I specialise in advanced Classical and Jazz Piano, Composition and Arranging, as well as fundamentals of Theory of Music for students from ABRSM Grade 5 to Diploma level. I offer substantial discounts for families and for bundles of 5 or 10 lessons.

I have a well-equipped studio with a new grand piano as well as other keyboards and music tech gear, and teach both in-person for students living in Edinburgh, and online internationally. As many of my students are from Edinburgh university, where I also teach Orchestration and Screen Composition, daytime lessons can be flexible from week to week.

My classes are helpful to students seeking to pass the higher performance and theory grade examinations, as well as to university undergraduates seeking to fill knowledge gaps and to explore composition and orchestration in greater depth. Students I have taught invariably achieve excellent results, as high as 144/150 in recent ABRSM practical piano examinations, and as high as 100% in Theory of Music.

I also teach Music Technology, specialising in Cubase DAW as well as Sibelius and Dorico scorewriter applications.
