I am an italian piano teacher with many years of experience. I encourage music study not only for performance success, but also for personal development. I can teach both classical piano or modern (jazz/rock/pop) piano. I really enjoy sharing music knowledge with my students, I love working with very young children and with old beginners as well. I am a very patient and approachable piano teacher and always study music pedagogy to be a better teacher.

Private piano lessons for all levels and grades. Adapted to the students needs and preferences. So whether you are keen to learn classical repertoire and take ABRSM grades or simply want to improve your skills and enjoy a stimulating hobby, I can help you.
Homework will focus on the achievement of specific goals set for each lesson so that the students progress.

I offer a holistic method of teaching – believing that music matters and learning it leads to a greater appreciation of our world well beyond the realm of clefs and scales. I am happy to help students complete their ABRSM Graded Examinations as well as teach those interested in more casual study of the flute.

Hi, my name is Dave. I'm a Musician, Composer, Guitar, Piano & Bass tutor with over 15 years experience. After receiving a degree in Jazz and Contemporary music, I was privileged to enjoy a fruitful career not only as a music teacher but also as a full time composer and performer, both live and in the studio.

Music which I composed, performed and recorded was screened in over 25 film festivals worldwide. One of my films, called “Crumble”, is starring Amanda Hale and was selected for BAFTA, won the Silver Remi Award at the 50th Worldfest Houston Film Festival (USA) and was the Official Selection of the 17th East End Film Festival (London).

The learning plan is custom tailored for each and every student, while taking into account the student's current level and musical taste. We'll be working with official sheet music directly from the artist and original studio tracks from the songs you love.

A professional guitarist with over ten years experience, Brydon graduated from the Ara Institute in New Zealand in 2011 with a Bachelor of Performance Music, majoring on guitar.

Since then he has worked as a session musician and touring artist, from his home of New Zealand, to Asia, USA, and now London. He has over ten years tutoring experience, teaching both in schools and privately. Lessons are practical, with skills and music theory being built around popular music that the student is familiar with, and as they advance, focuses increasingly on the music the student is passionate about. He is comfortable teaching guitar to any age, and can teach beginners right through to advanced level.

Brydon is available for one on one online lessons.

I have been playing the violin and piano for over 20 years now, graduating in 2015 from the Royal College of Music with a first-class bachelor's degree in violin performance, and have recently started an Advanced Diploma in Performance at the Royal Academy of Music. I have performed extensively all over the UK as a soloist, most notably as a strings finalist on BBC young musician of the year, and at the Battle Proms concert series to audiences of up to 12,000.
I've also delved into the Folk world a little and was on tv for the BBC Radio 2 folk awards as part of Jim Moray's band!

I started officially teaching at 17, coaching local teachers more advanced students. From there I became Professor Berent Korfker's private assistant at 18, teaching his younger students from the Purcell School and alike. Being able to work with such talented students was extremely inspiring and excited me to start my own class with complete beginners on both violin and piano. I now have a hugely mixed class in both ability and age (4 to over 50!) with a 100% pass rate in their exams.

My approach has always depended on the student's age, ability, and character. For younger students, I incorporate games, with them often wondering how the lessons finished so quickly! I like to create a fun environment for musical development where questions are encouraged, and all students are taught how to teach themselves and apply techniques learned in the lesson to the practice room.

Learning how to play the piano is a relaxing activity that can be taught from the age of 6. They can learn their favourite disney songs or even start doing formal exams if they are up for the commitment. Whilst learning how to play the piano, they can also learn a valuable skill of reading written music.

French concert pianist, graduate from Royal College of Music of London.

I have multiple recordings on streaming platforms, now totalling more than 20 000 streams.

I've always loved sharing my knowledge and experience, as much as sharing my music on stage with the audience.

I am very careful of always put the student's wishes and thoughts in priority, while finding the right balance between work and enjoyment.

Even though I focus on performing, I have been teaching privately for 8 years now, as I always had a passion of teaching and sharing my passion and everything I've learned with Piano Masters for 20+ Years !

I am very patient, comprehensive, I always try my best to adapt find the right approach and technical tools to help the student in the best way possible.
I take extra care in making sure the musician likes what he is playing, wants to work on it, really understand his strong and weak points, his objectives, and organise my work around it.

I'm also really open in alternative repertoire, and non-conventional pieces, because I'm convinced that you can make a lot of progress working on any type of music, not just the exam or "traditional" classical repertoire.

If you have a music in mind that you dream of playing, don't hesitate to let me know and I will find a score suitable for your abilities, or if it doesn't exist, I will create one !

I'm looking forward to help you achieve your goals and make good music together !

Hello guitar lovers!

I have my own method (Jam Now! Guitar Method) for beginners and intermediate players who are looking for a well-structured plan that guarantees improvement, tracking the student's progress weekly. These are some of the things I can help you with:

-Prepare an audition to access a music degree
-Improve one or more aspects of the student's technique
-Improve knowledge of theory/harmony
-Learn improvisation
-Learn different styles or focus on a particular style
-Learn to play songs from your favorite artists
-Practice with different effects pedals
-How to create your own demos (drum programming, midi and vocals, and guitar recording using Pro Tools and Logic Pro X)
-Songwriting

Depending on your goal and your level I prepare a plan with small deadlines that can vary depending on the student's progress. Independently of the goal I always try to make sure the student have fun during the process, I'm a friendly person who loves music and teaching.

Feel free to contact me to discuss anything.

Using jazz music as my specialism, I am able to teach even the most technically challenging concepts in their most basic forms and transfer them to the guitar in their most simple terms. 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.
