Hello!

My name is Julia, I started playing the piano when I was 8 and I am a this year graduate with honours of a Polish 12-year music school with the specialisation in piano, therefore I got a Polish Professional Title- Musician.
Throughout the years I took part and won prizes in many piano competitions in Poland and abroad.

When I was 14 I started a band with my friends and discovered my great passion for composition; since then we've signed a contract with a label, released an album and played about 300 concerts in Europe and this autumn we also have a tour planned.

I grew up surrounded by music and gained the industry experience at a very young age. My mom introduced me to Opera music and folklore, I personally love Scandinavian folk and acoustic.

I am currently a student of Film Composition in London College of Music and I'd love to share my piano and music theory experience with others :)

I am an advanced level, grade 8 saxophonist with over ten years of experience playing in bands. I have a track record of providing excellent teaching over a range of subjects, including music theory and drumming. I have also taught in children's art groups. I am a recently graduated student in English Literature and I'm looking to teach in the future, so this would be an excellent opportunity for me to teach saxophone to beginners.

This class is for anyone interested in learning the guitar, from absolute beginners to more advanced players looking to further improve their playing.

I teach all styles of music from classical and jazz to pop and rock. I teach chords, lead guitar, songs, improvisation, music theory and much more. My lessons are tailored for my students. I teach whatever they want to learn, but will be able to prepare lessons for anyone not sure where they want to go. I also teach grades such as ABRSM and Rockschool. On top of this, I also teach bass guitar.

I have been playing for fifteen years andteaching and performing around the UK for ten years.

- Due to Covid-19, I am currently only teaching online.

As a pianist, musicologist and composer, I am passionate about music and I tend to cover the maximum amount of subjects inside music in my lessons. I don’t only teach how to play piano, but I explain, in the most suitable way for my students, how music works, the theory of music, how to create music and your own songs, where do concepts come from, the relationship between intervals and harmonies, etc.
I love asking my students which are their favourite activities and their favourite pieces of music so we can learn them together or arrange them together. I’m always open to teach other instruments to my students or to sing. My music lessons are about having fun while learning.

I am a professional violinist with over 15 years in the industry. Graduated from Guildhall School of Music & Drama - this year rated the UK’s best music conservatoire and in the top 10 in the world. I will be teaching violin and everything related to it. Depending on your wishes, we will elaborate a strategy for your lessons in accordance with your goals. Contact me, even if it is only pure interest.

A firm grasp of the theory of musical harmony is essential for every musician, at every level. This is an important aspect of music education, regardless of specialisation (performer, composer, analyst). This course will not only give you a strong foundation in the construction and manipulation of harmony but also will help you apply this knowledge in various different scenarios.

Learn to play the violin or viola in your home (or online*). I'm very experienced violin and viola teacher happy to help you start your journey with the instrument, prepare for music exams or to play for the joy of making music.

*Only for intermediate or advanced students.

To improve your confidence in singing and performance, or to greatly improve technique and skill level, these singing lessons are for you!

An hour class starts with technique exercises, including body awareness, and then moves into repertoire for the last half an hour. Repertoire is provided, and backing tracks are given for practise.

Above all, individualised support and encouragement means that lessons are always fun and inspiring!

l'm an Italian professional pianist holding a diploma in Piano Performance and Teaching from the N. Paganini Conservatory of Advanced Music Specialization in Genoa, one of Italy's most prestigious conservatories. My professional life since obtaining my higher diploma from the conservatory has been full filled as pianist soloist, accompanist (lyrical singers, instrumental, ballet) and teacher. Settled for many years on the French Riviera (l'm bilingual) and moved in London during 2015, l weekly perform and l teach to any level. My repertoire is obviously classical but also my daily job is playing for Corporate Event, Dinner Presentations, Cocktails Party and Art Galleries . Stoke Park Country Club Buckinghamshire (Wedding), Brunswick House,Cafe' Royal Regent Street, Westfield Stratford and White City are some of the frequent locations where l usually perform. With more than 25 years of experience in classical piano tutoring, my classes programs so combine both instrumental theory and lessons of music history, theory, literature, solfeggio and analisys. Many students of mine achieved DIplomas with distinction. l recently played at "La Roque d'Antheron" International Piano Festival 2018.
l don't take students you nger then 8 years old

I am a 17 year old student in sixth form, and I take part in singing lessons myself. I've been going to singing lessons for 5 years, and also regularly attend multiple choirs in my school. I have also done duets and performed live multiple times in school concerts (my most recent performance was as a backing singer for my friend who won a song writing competition and performed it live for the Mayor of Ealing in a celebration assembly - for anyone interested, the song is on Spotify: it is called You've Changed by Erin O'Sullivan).

ABOUT ME:
Art Dip, Opera Dip, BMus (all Honours). I am Canadian, living and teaching from home in West London. I taught voice at the University of Western Ontario and coached at Universities of Toronto, British Columbia and Montreal, and the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto), as well as at Tapestry New Opera, Soundstreams Canada and the Canadian Music Centre. Some of my students have gone on to perform at major opera houses, theatre festivals and professional choirs, while some have gained the confidence to sing a solo at their local church or community event. Some have completed their ABRSM or Trinity exams, or auditioned for conservatoire/university, which I help prepare them for. Seeing my students shine (both on stage and off) fills me with humble pride and fulfillment. We will strive to find the authentic version of your voice, which is important in ANY style of music we sing. You want to sound like YOU, right? This is how an audience connects with you, with music, and what you're trying to communicate. It's the secret behind successful singing and I know the way to get you there.

For any age and at any level - I will prepare piano lessons that are easy to understand, fun and engaging for the student! Whether you want to learn casually, or you're preparing for a big competition or exam, I am fully prepared to help you succeed.

I am happy to teach either classical or pop, and am happy to teach anywhere: the student's location, my location, or a webcam - whatever is easiest and comfortable. These classes will include exercises for technicality, as well as learning the context and history of pieces/songs, and creative interpretations.

I am an experienced guitar tutor teaching lessons face-to-face and online. I also cater to groups. I have been a musician for over 20 years and have been teaching guitar for over 10 years, giving me a vast range of knowledge, teaching methodologies, and learning resources.

This class is specific to children as it fosters a love of music and music creation via easy-to-learn and play tunes, notation reading and developing ear skills. Learning music and guitar at a young age is a wonderful way to learn a new skill which boosts confidence, teaches effort and rewards relationships, creates discipline, and helps children take pride in their achievements and performances.

We will learn the fundamentals of playing the guitar, focusing on developing good techniques across both the left and right hand enabling faster growth and easier self-directed study. We will learn a selection of short tunes/melodies, chords and some sight reading. Grades are an option for those interested but my main aim is to bring the joy of guitar to the lessons! Below are a number of recent testimonials from my young students:

"Ricardo has been teaching my son electric guitar for just over a year. Ricardo has not only taught my son how to play but has been an inspiring figure who has given my son a lot of confidence in himself too. The lessons are tailored to suit the child brilliantly and Ricardo has selected songs that my son wants to learn therefore keeping him very engaged and making learning the guitar so much fun! Ricardo is very encouraging and has an enthusiastic and passionate approach for music & teaching. I would highly recommend Ricardo as a great guitar teacher to anyone looking to start playing." Bryony, mother of Stan.

"He’s a very nice and funny teacher and he helps me when I struggle. He makes the lessons fun and will always help you learn a song that you want to be able to play. I always look forward to seeing him." Luisa, aged 12.

Music is a universal language!

Through Piano or Singing Lessons you get the joy to play or sing and express oneself!

You can learn for pleasure or aim to prepare for an exam or performance!

For whatever reason I am here to help you achieve your goals!
