Piano classes which focus on the more free-spirited, creative side of music making (as opposed to grades etc.)...We can cover whatever style of music you want to cover in a relaxed setting. (jazz? classical? composing pieces? how to improvise over chords? You name it, or I can suggest possible music to try....) (I am a professional musician / music producer with 10 years' experience playing live with a band around the world).

Graduate of Oxford University, Royal College of Music and San Francisco Conservatory, I am dedicated teacher with over 22 years experience: working with students of all ages, at all levels. I enjoy finding the right approach to help you learn best, fulfill your potential, and achieve what you'd like out of the lessons - be that exams, auditions or enjoyment and relaxation.
- 100% pass rate for ABRSM exams
- DBS checked.
- NSPCC Child Protection Awareness training.
- Oxfordshire County Council Safeguarding training.
As a teacher I have worked for 3 different music services; San Francisco Conservatory junior college; state and private schools; independent academies. I have taught A level, GCSE and music theory; written a viola exam syllabus; adjudicated competitions; and coached chamber music and orchestras.

I am active as a performing professional musician, playing with top London/UK orchestras such as Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Opera House, English Chamber Orchestra; BBCNOW, BBCPhil and others; as well as playing solo and chamber music. This has taken me to the top concert halls, recording studios and arenas around the UK, Europe and further afield.

I can teach cello, piano and music theory /reading. I am a patient and adaptable teacher - I love teaching both adults and children alike, and focus on particular needs of each individual.

I generally use Cello Time series of books for cello lessons, Music Theory in Practice for music theory, and Piano Time series for piano. But I'm open to others if you already have books that you've started on. I don't follow these books precisely, but more use them as a useful structure - adapting and moving at the student's pace.

Nothing can get the blood pumping more than listening to a high octane, heavy metal riff, lick or solo.

However there is more to this style of music than what meets the eye and needs a bit more care attention than you may first think.
If you are looking to learn what makes a shred solo, what makes a riff catchy and what keeps the neighbours up at night this is the class for you.

Covering techniques from String Skipping, Hybrid Picking, Sweep Picking, Pinch Harmonics, Legato.

Wigs and leather not required.

An individualized approach to learning, my lessons are for students who want support and inspiration for their compositions at IBDP, A-Level or GCSE level, as well as students of all ages completing their ABRSM or Trinity theory examinations.

With over 14 years experience teaching music in international schools in Switzerland, China and Bermuda, as well as teaching in London and Australia, I haveAn excellent understanding of what examiners are looking for from the candidates.

Having a Bachelors in Music Composition and Post-Grad in Music Education, feel confident that my love for theory and composition will not only offer you results success, but an inspired and energized approach to creating and understanding music theory.

Come September, I hope that I will be able to offer some lessons in person, but for now, teaching will be online. If you are a student looking for feedback on your compositions for your coursework, please do get in touch to discuss how best to structure to your needs.

I think one of the most important things when teaching anyone the craft of Music is to keep them interested and engaged. I have been through many different schools, tutors and teachers to come up with my own means of teaching which make sure students WANT to practice, learn and not smash their guitar into the wall when they get frustrated.

I have played electric guitar for 10 years, bass for 6 years, I have been producing and recording (on Logic Pro) for 6 years, studied theory for 5 years and I am a recording artist with music on Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube.

I am in my last year of completing my music degree, which I am a high ranking student scoring 1st's (almost) all round.

What separates me from other teachers is my relationship with my students, my two main priorities are:
1.Making sure my student understands
2. Making sure they are interested and enthusiastic.
(I believe you can't have one without the other...)

I am very patient and thorough with my work and i always ensure every lesson is nothing but fun, productive and enjoyable.

Any young person who wants to learn to play the piano/ singing lessons can get in touch.

I currently have a digital piano but can travel within the Oxford area.

Previously sang on a regular basis and also taught basic music lessons on the piano prior to moving to Oxford.
