About Me

Teaching is a great responsibility and honour. The idea is to create a relaxed and inspirational learning environment. I have over 20 years teaching experience as well as 25 years in the music business as a writer, producer and instrumentalist. Apart from learning to play the guitar, I also encourage the student to be creative with what they are learning and write their own ideas and come up with original compositions. Learning an instrument is about allowing your inner creativity to flow. It is all about enjoyment, meditation, focus, therapy and creativity.

Whether it is songs you want to learn or music grades to prepare for, my lessons are tailor made for your enjoyment and progress.
I like to set goals for progress whilst encouraging my pupils to have fun as that is what music is all about!

The following topics are an example of what can be covered in you lesson:

- Songs you would like to learn
- Technique (finger style, pick playing, positioning)
- Playing different styles of music
- Soloing
- Ear training
- Scales
- Sight reading
- Theory
- Grades or exam tuition

I teach violin and all brass instruments from beginner right through to grade 8. I also have experience teaching music theory and GCSE and A Level Music. I believe everyone is able to make music, and I always try to share my enjoyment and passion for music with my students, no matter what they want to learn and achieve.

Hello there, I am Jools, London based session musician and music tutor.
I have classical training on piano, having studied for 11 years. I was lucky enough to work for FunKeys For Kids: that gave the chance to do peripatetic teaching and work with kids. And definitely there is nothing better than trying to show the passion for music.
My classes are generally for beginners and whoever wants to step into learning piano.
I do as well one to one tuitions where I am focusing more on right and left hand technique, sight reading, harmony.

And of course if there is a song you would like to learn I will be happy to show you how.
If this is for you do not hesitate to get in touch.

I am looking forward to teaching you

Beat the Coronovirus Blues by actually playing the Blues :)

With the Virus threat and self-isolating now is the perfect time to learn guitar. I will help you at whatever stage you're at, if you are just starting out to Intermediate-advanced players with fun and friendly lessons.

With over 20 years of teaching experience and my unique approach to learning, you will not only make the quickest progress possible but have a lot of fun on the way.

• Are you an absolute beginner no idea where to start?
• Are you finding that the books and DVDs don’t seem to help you progress?
• Want to play that song you’ve had in your head?
• Always wanted to play that Jimi Solo?
• Got a guitar gathering dust but never got around to playing?
• Stuck in a rut - Can’t stop playing the same old riffs?
• Want to be able to play over the entire fretboard?
• Want to know what scales fit with what chords and vice versa?
• Music Theory - the hows and whys.

With your first steps into guitar playing, it is very important that you develop good technique - from holding the guitar in the correct position to exercises to help improve your strength and timing. With good technique, everything becomes easier, and once learned you’ll never forget it!

You’ll find that one-to-one lessons tailored to your pace of learning and the style you want to play will get quicker results than books and instruction video alone.

With my style of teaching, I focus on getting you playing the things you really want as quickly as possible. So whether you just want to strum a few singalongs or write your own, play some blues or get the funk out one to one lessons is the best way to achieve your goals and keep motivated.

It is a steep learning curve at the beginning but I have tried and tested methods to get you playing without difficulty Learn how to strum and change chords quickly and easily. Learn to play songs you really want to learn. I can transcribe any song and show you how to play it.

I have maintained a professional teaching schedule with over 1000 students taught in one-to-one private lessons. With over 20 years of teaching experience and my unique approach to learning will not only make the quickest progress possible but have a lot of fun on the way.

I have two locations: Angel, Islington (Upper Street N1 2BH)
or at my Recording studio in Finsbury Park. N4 Fully soundproofed (We can crank up the volume)
I have 11 guitars to choose from and full recording facilities available. so if you want to record a song you have written we can do that too :)

Thanks

I am a university student currently working towards my DipABRSM in classical guitar. I have been teaching students now for over a year, and provide a good quality service for students learning ABRSM grades1-5. Above this grade, I would be happy to consider teaching depending on the individual. I am also happy to teach pop/acoustic songs, which are more based on chords.
The classes would be for as long as you wish, but the average of lessons I hold are about an hour. I will be working in London until July. Then, I will be working in Paris. I am also doing Zoom classes due to COVID, so this is also an option.

I am a 20 year-old undergraduate student with a highly musical background and a passion for the guitar. I've been playing the guitar for 15 years and the bass for 6. I specialise in the rock and funk genres but have expertise in others such as Jazz and Metal. In the classes, I aim to teach students a wide range of musical concepts covering music theory, technique, and rhythm while progressing at a comfortable pace.

I strive to provide the most comprehensive music lessons for students of all level. I balance my lessons between fun and progress, using various teaching methods, activities and technologies. With over 15 years experience, I have taught some 10,000 hours of one-to-one instrumental lessons. I have taught over 100 individual students ranging in age from four to 75+; from beginners to diploma-level, both amateurs and professionals.
Whether you have a child at the start of their musical journey, are an adult beginner or returning to music after a break, I can guide each student in the most effective and efficient way to reach the full potential.

I attended the Purcell School before moving to Germany where I studied for my Diploma. I gained a Bachelor of Music degree from City of Basel Music Academy in Switzerland and Master of Music degree from the University of Music & Performing Arts Stuttgart in Germany, graduating with the highest honours for both degrees. I successfully finished my Postgraduate Artist Diploma studies at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.

I'm Dzvenyslava and I will teach your kids to play the violin.
I always knew I would become a professional musician. My love for music carried me through a children's music school, a music college and an academy.

From personal experience, I understand the emotions and difficulties children can go through while learning to play the violin.
I believe that everyone can play the violin and do it quite well. Sharing my skills with young violinists brings me inspiration and satisfaction.

My teaching experience includes:
● 30 years of teaching in a music school and music college;
● about 50 graduates;
● private lessons in class and online;
● heading the violin ensemble;
● my students regularly perform in the Philharmonic with a chamber orchestra;
● my students have won local and national violin competitions many times.

My name is Aoibheann, I am originally from Ireland but have been living in London almost 2 years. I am a piano teacher who has studied piano for over 12 years. I have studied Grade 8 Piano and Music Theory. I have also studied at an undergraduate level in Music. I have a patient, fun, and enthusiastic approach to teaching, having taught adults and children it is vital to create a safe environment built on mutual respect.
My main interests in teaching is helping students create a love for playing and nurturing that through playing pieces they will love. My background is in mainly classical music, however, I can tutor in pop, musical theatre, and various other genres. I have taught both first-time players and people wishing to return to the keys. I have a piano at home and can teach from home, I am also happy to travel in West London to teach.

Learning to play guitar is a life-long journey, one that is fulfilling and absorbing.

At The Hap'ning Place we offer Guitar Lessons to all ages and levels of ability with our enthusiastic, professional teachers.
Our students enjoy learning in our spacious, welcoming rooms.
Lessons can be for your own pleasure or we can prepare you for the graded examinations or auditions. We are rather proud of our 100% success rate with our students in the exams. ☺️
Our students also have the opportunity to perform in solo and ensemble recitals throughout the year as well as workshops and master classes.
For more information and available times for your next one to one lesson, please get in touch.

I approach each student differently, it really depends on what they need or what they want to learn. I always incorporate technique and theory at the same time in every lesson trying to teach as much knowledge as I can.

I studied a lot of different styles and I am open to every kind of music and I enjoy teaching any of them. For every genre that I teach, I can focus the lessons on

Technique
Theory
Analysis of the song or the genre
Rhythm improvement
Melodic improvement
Improvisation
Composition
etc.....

I can travel to student homes but I am available online as well but i would recommend my place for a few of things which could benefits every person involved in the lesson. I have a degree in Contemporary Music and I studied guitar for 8 years, I like to keep myself updated on everything about music. I am CRB/DBS checked for your/your children's safety and I can send a copy of it upon request

As an educator, Fiachra is focused always on finding the way of making music which suits each of his students best, with a confident and comfortable way of working with the instrument (which then transfers into the rest of life). He has been praised for his patient and compassionate approach, and an openness and freedom which he shares in his performance.

When teaching young children, he makes use of imaginative imagery and games to help explain concepts in a way that children can understand. He has also been praised for his ability to listen and understand the needs of his students, helping them make progress in a rewarding way.

His methodology is tailored to each individual student, with a focus on providing enjoyment of the individual lessons as much as possible. He is understanding in giving constructive feedback and understandsi how important it is to foster a healthy self-image and self-story in all of his students.

Fiachra teaches at every level, and is always supportive of different learning approaches for each persons unique needs, and shows great awareness and understanding in particular of students with SpLDs.

I have a Doctorate in Music, Christ's Cambridge. I am able to teach piano, guitar, double bass, bass guitar, ukulele, banjo and mandolin, some to advanced level and others to conservatoire level. I have played in over 30 W End shows and with many famous orchestras and artists. I have a current [4 months old] Enhanced DBS and my own transport. I am vastly experienced.

Lessons are usually 3/4hr or one hour. Please see my profile for more information on my approach.

I have very limited availability at the moment but if it's online lessons I have more than the calendar shows.

The class is tailored to the individual but in general technique and musicality go hand in hand. I am strong on the reading of music as this gives the student all the necessary tools to read so many different genres of music... and to then be free of music if that is the goal.

Whether it is songs you want to learn or music grades to prepare for, my lessons are tailor made for your enjoyment and progress.
