Classical and Jazz Piano/Music Theory Lessons for All Abilities

I am currently offering online lessons from my fully-equipped home studio in South London. I believe in finding inspiration from music across all genres (whether you love classical, jazz, pop, or anything else!) and I would be excited to help you reach your musical goals, whether you're a complete beginner, or an advanced learner - diplomas and beyond! If you need help with music theory or composition, or looking for an accompanist, I have a wealth of experience in these fields as well.

About me: My specialist training has been as a pianist and composer of classical and contemporary music, and I have performed at the Barbican, Wigmore Hall, LSO St Lukes, Lyric Hammersmith, Bridgewater Hall, and many other world-class venues. I have been featured numerous times on BBC Radio 3, both as a soloist and accompanist. I have also worked extensively as a performer and arranger in jazz, pop, and musical theatre styles, including work for ‘The Choir’ TV show and Manchester School of Theatre. When not performing myself, I run composition workshops and accompany at City, University of London, Durham University, and Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where I am currently a Junior Fellow.

Recent Reviews:

Wendy: I came to Ben having previously learnt piano when I was younger, reaching about Grade 8. Ben was a really encouraging and supportive teacher, with an amazing amount of knowledge about his instrument. Together we covered repertoire from Baroque, Romantic, and even living composers. After working hard for just over a year I was ready to take a Performance Diploma and passed with flying colours. Thanks so much for all your help!

Paul: Ben has been an incredible teacher. I’ve always wanted to learn jazz piano, but I started as pretty much a beginner. Ben guided through the basics and beyond with wonderful patience. Since then, I’ve gone from strength to strength in my playing, discovering lots of new music along the way.

Trombone lessons for all levels, ages, and abilities.
Trombone lessons are focused on working at basic techniques along with carefully selected repertoire in accordance with students’ aims and preferences. In his teaching, Konstantin specializes mainly in classical trombone repertoire, and could also give a piece of advice about jazz and commercial playing. To get the most out of studying with Konstantin it is recommended not only to practice the instrument and to attend lessons consistently but also to be a real fan of trombone and orchestral music. It is a highly-rewarding process, and the more one invests in their education, the more joy they obtain from listening to music and playing the trombone.
