Deive M. One to One Tuition Piano - Keyboard - Guitar - Bass - Drums - Theory £36 for a one hour lesson, reduced to £33 if paid in advance, and the first one is also only £33.
Length and frequency of lessons are flexible. All ages welcome. I am able to teach students to play any songs or pieces they like and not make them learn any they don’t like. I teach them to play by ear and by notation. I also teach them how to improvise, and speak their mind musically. I have 18 years experience in this line of work, and for 17 years now it has been my full-time occupation. I have studied music at Los Angeles Musicians Institute and Cambridge Anglia Ruskin University. My name is pronounced ‘Dave Montaig’. ‘Deive’ is short for Deiven. Students can choose to learn any or all of the instruments I teach. They do not have to own an instrument to spend part of their lesson learning it. Students do not have to learn to read conventional sheet music. Furthermore, I do not teach it to beginners. I do teach it to those who want to learn it, but only after they have learnt my own ‘RSMR’ notation system. I don’t want to give them an overcomplicated, incorrect view of music that may make them give up. RSMR is the Rational System of Musical Reference, and is not just a notation system; it incorporates a new nomenclature system also. The conventional theory, nomenclature and notation of music contain some serious mistakes. The notation system is overcomplicated, presenting us with a number of things that do not exist in music itself, much of the nomenclature is naming elements of a notation system rather than elements of music itself, and the theory of pitch and the theory of rhythm presented to us do not acknowledge this. Furthermore, much of the notation and nomenclature is imprecise, impractical, inappropriate or misleading, and many of the terms used are given two or more conflicting meanings. Students do unfortunately have to learn much of the conventional nomenclature - because it is so widely used. Many musicians cannot read the notation and do not use it – including many of the world’s most popular musicians – but all musicians use the nomenclature to some extent. All students of pitch-playing instruments should be taught the conventional names of the twelve absolute pitch-tones and all students of chord-playing instruments should be taught the conventional names of the chords, but they should also be taught that these names are bad ones. There is now an enormous library of song notations that are available for free on the web which simply present the lyrics and chord-changes in the song, with the chords indicated simply by name, and every guitarist and keyboardist should learn how to read these; however, they should also learn how those chord-names are far from good ones. I have no problem with beginner guitar and bass students being taught conventional ‘tablature’ notation, and I often give them tabs that have been published on the web. The only difference with my own tablature is that it includes timing details; conventional rhythmic-timing notation is not compatible with guitar tab, but my rhythmic-timing notation is compatible with any system of pitch notation. I do teach ‘grade’ exam courses if requested, and have taught those from the Trinity, ABRSM and Rockschool awarding bodies, but I don’t teach these to an absolute beginner. They present rudimentary music theory as little more than the rules of a bad system of musical reference stated as if it is a good one. I teach the real rudiments of music, and this does not involve introducing such things as the sharp, the flat or the time signature. The sharps, flats and time signatures we are presented with in the notation are elements of notation, not music, and they are in the notation because the notation system is overcomplicated. The sharp and the flat came from the use of a pitch-staff which makes room for only seven of the twelve musical pitch-tones, and the time signature came from using different single note and rest symbols to indicate different rhythmic durations and then allowing them to change which durations they represent. The twelve absolute pitch-tones of the Western musical pitch-tone system should have been given permanent identities, not temporary identities which are dependent on which key or chord they temporarily belong to. And note duration should have been measured in beat-value, not semibreve-value. Semibreves do not exist in music. I came to realise and understand the main mistakes in the theory, nomenclature and notation of music before I ever started teaching, and this was one of the reasons I went into teaching. It caused me to confront these mistakes head on and find the solutions. Some of these solutions had already been proposed by others, and some had not. The staff design I use for keyboard and general-purpose pitch notation has been around for almost two centuries, although I have presented it in a particular way that is unique and improved, but the rhythmic-timing notation system I use with all my students, no matter what the instrument, is entirely of my own invention. I also have invented numerous other music learning aids that translate what we hear into something we can see.

My name is Panos, a professional musician hailing from Greece and currently based in the UK. I earned my Jazz Guitar degree from the esteemed Philippos Nakas Conservatory in 2014, studying alongside some of the most renowned musicians in the country.
In 2018, I decided to broaden my horizons and moved to the UK to pursue my passion for music. I graduated with a BMus in Music Performance and Production from the University of West London (UWL), where I gained valuable experience and expertise.
Through my involvement with a variety of bands, such as "NOT ENOUGH," "OUTBRAVE," "B.L.E.N.D," and "DAN THEO PROJECT," I was able to refine my craft, develop my own unique style, and gain a wealth of performance experience.
With over a decade of experience teaching electric/acoustic guitar and bass to students of all ages, I have honed my skills as a patient and effective instructor. I am passionate about helping my students learn the essential principles of their instruments and develop a comprehensive understanding of music, all while having fun along the way.
Beyond my teaching work, I'm also keenly interested in music production and sound design. I've had the pleasure of collaborating on a diverse range of projects, including short films, video games, music albums, and theatre productions. These opportunities have allowed me to further develop my skills in audio engineering, mixing, and mastering, as well as to experiment with a variety of music genres and creative styles.
Let's work together to achieve your musical goals and develop your skills in a fun and engaging way. I look forward to meet you and embark on this musical journey together!!

One of the great joys of playing an instrument is to become able to capture the emotive force that the artistes you so admire can evoke.
Discover how they do it. What scales they use, how they create their sublime musical phrases, what their vibrato is like, what ornamentation they favour...
No doubt you want to get a foot in the door fast.
Learn some power chords and play along with your favourite records in the first lesson.
Don't feel abashed about lacking any previous experience. It's not neccessary. I've taken many adult total beginners up to public performance level.
Music theory, Rock, Pop, Acoustic Guitar and Bass Grades.
You don't have to do them but it's nice to be able to guage your progress and if you're hoping to do a GCSE in music or go to a music college being able to show your credentials can be essential to getting an audition.
My students have a 100% pass rate across 30 years.

My musical life has crossed many continents on my quest for knowledge. Prior to winning a Scholarship to study at the prestigious Grove School of Music in Los Angeles California, I worked extensively in the UK withwell - known artists and shows. But my desire was always to learn from the best. I got my opportunity in 1991 when I won my scholarship.
Studying at Grove was a life changing experience. Not only did it present the chance to study with such bass luminaries at Joel Di Bartolo (Buddy Rich, The Tonight Show, Ernie Watts,) Tom Warrington (Buddy Rich, Randy Brecker) and Jeff Berlin (Alan Holdsworth), it also gave me opportunity to study advanced Theory, Arranging & Composition with the legendary Dick Grove.
After four years of study and performance in the US, I relocated to Oslo in Norway where I became in demand as an instructor along with numerous performances and sessions. My next move was back to the UK after being asked to teach at several music schools. Being back in the UK opened up many opportunities to perform in multiple situations with the likes of Kenny Jones (The Who), Mike Rutherford (Genesis), Paul Young (Sad Café) and countless Jazz and commercial gigs as well as shows and TV performances.
The Study Never Stops
My lust for knowledge continued unabated, and I continued my study of advanced Improvisation with the legendary Charlie Banacos. As of late, and with the passing of the great man, I am now studying with New York arranger and Pianist Garry Dial. For me, the point of music is always to strive, to improve my knowledge and ability. There is no greater journey then the journey to gain knowledge, whatever your field may be.

I am a professional bassist from the UK, living in Polegate, East Sussex. I have had a vast amount of experience in playing live and in the studio. This experience has helped me develop the skills to feel comfortable playing the bass, and be able to pick up on songs very quickly. I love to share my knowledge and advice with new players to help them get a head start with their playing. Throughout my time as a bass player, I have had many hard times figuring stuff out by myself, which is why I want to help out the new players and save them the trouble.

I've had a multifaceted life since birth - my parents moved me immediately from Russia to the United States, then ten years later to Geneva in Switzerland. Finally at 20 I made my own decision and moved to the UK to pursue music and most of all, witness the comedic and cultural clout of the British Isles I had so long admired. Here, I have managed pubs, reviewed live gigs, finished a degree and several diplomas, worked as a financial journalist, done a brief stint as a court reporter, played rock/jazz/pop shows, and much more. I am now ready to impart the knowledge I gathered in my twenties to whomever may wish to listen!
I take any job I do extremely seriously and would make sure to plan the lesson in line with your needs.
