Irish traditional music lessons on tin whistle and flute (In person or online)

From 36 £ /h

I am a second-generation Irish traditional flute and tin whistle player from North West London. Having graduated from Newcastle University's Folk and Traditional music degree with a first class honours, I specialise in Irish traditional flute and tin whistle playing, equipped with rich knowledge, understanding and repertoire from traditions of the British Isles, Scandinavia and Brittany.

I teach students of all ages and abilities, from absolute beginners, who will be taught basic music theory and how to get to grips with their instrument, to advanced players who are looking to nurture their technique and expand their repertory.

Tailoring lesson plans to each individual student, I teach techniques and tunes that are carefully sourced and suited to differing levels of ability. Lessons can be taught either by ear or by notation, or a mixture of both to suit the student. With patience and encouragement, lessons will always be taken at the pace of the student to ensure that the learning experience is as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible.

I specialise in teaching guitar for all levels. Beginners are very welcome. My main aim is to get the students to enjoy playing and from there we can start to get deeper into theory, composition, improvisation and song writing. I also specialise in Brazilian guitar if that is anyone's passion.

I offer piano lessons for all levels.

7 years of teaching experience in conservatories, music schools and in business.

I have a very good contact with children. I am demanding but gentle and very patient. I believe that one learns by listening, I am present to allow this listening to be at the center of the course and thus accompany the student on the path of music.

I adapt to the need, the desire and the receptivity of each one.
The well-being of the student is essential for progress in confidence and joy.
The development of listening to the inner song is at the heart of my teaching.

For beginners: songs, games, improvisation, creation. The links with song and rhythm are very important to have a healthy foundation. The musical notions are approached gradually by experience then by recognition. Reading and writing are brought about by creation and musical composition.

For the more experienced, polyphony and difficult passages can be approached with different tools, by awareness of harmony and melodic modes and polyrhythm. Sometimes it is enough to be aware of simplicity to overcome difficult passages.

I push to go further in the quality of the interpretation with simple means to better understand the music and thus allow more expressiveness and freedom.

I also offer improvisation, harmony,
lessons in musical ensembles, especially vocal polyphony for children, and lessons for specific needs, for example just intonation for singers or other instruments.

Guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer with 20 years of experience.

I started to study guitar in 2002. After 6 months I started playing live music.
I began to teach guitar in 2018, in London.

I am specialized in beginners and children.
You can choose online lessons (Skype, Zoom, FaceTime), or lessons at your home, in London. I can teach in Italian and in English.

In the lessons the main lines of study are:
- technique exercises to make your hands stronger;
- songs suggested by me and songs that you like;
- music theory.

I try to communicate my passion for music, especially to the children, without forgetting to have fun.

Either, if you want to become a really good guitarist or if you just want to play guitar for fun and relaxation, don’t hesitate to contact me.
I thrive on seeing my students grow and develop as they discover what they can achieve.

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.

Since the age of 8, I have been exploring the world of music, particularly the flute. I took flute lessons at the Niedermeyer Conservatory in Issy Les Moulineaux for 10 years and was a flautist in the junior symphony orchestra for 5 years.

Fascinated by the flute, I participated in music competitions, such as "Prodiges" in Paris, obtaining a distinction (18/20) in 2018. I also participated in a music Masterclass at UDELM (Lions Summer University of Music) in Embrun (Hautes-Alpes - 05 France) in 2016.

I offer flute lessons for all ages and skill levels:
• Beginners: You will learn to control your breathing. I will guide you step by step to produce a sound on the flute and gradually begin playing pieces.
• Intermediate: You will work on pieces adapted to your level. The goal is to refine your technique and reach a more advanced level.
• Advanced: You will develop precision and technique in each piece of music. Explore tempo variations and deepen musical interpretation through nuances.

I organize lessons according to the student's musical desires; with me, there is no doubt, I make sure that learning is fun and exciting.
