I am a highly experienced teacher, performer, composer and arranger, living and working in beautiful East Devon. I love and play music of all kinds. Clarinet, Saxophone and Flute are my favourites, as nothing feels closer to the human voice.
After a first class BA in music and a PGCE that specialised in instrumental teaching, I have taught continuously in Devon schools and privately at home for over thirty years.
I offer relaxed lessons to all ages, primary to adult. I believe in an individual approach, following your interests, providing materials to suit, and sharing your love of music. As a performer, I have experience of classical, jazz, folk, pop, soul and rock, and I teach improvisation and ear skills alongside reading. I am fully familiar with the music curriculum and often support it in my lessons. I also offer a full external exam service where appropriate, using the Trinity College syllabus.
So If you're thinking about learning an instrument, or starting again after a break, don't delay.
I am a composer, multimedia artist, sound and acoustic engineer, currently pursuing a PhD in immersive audio. My expertise ranges from electronic music production with DAWs like Ableton, Logic Pro, Reaper, to real-time sonification using Max/MSP and Pure Data. I also work with Unreal Engine to create VR installations, and Touchdesigner for generative art. I have a range of hardware synthesizers from the 70s to the modern modular synth. I can teach synthesis, music production, music coding, mixing, and anything related to music and sound.
Happy to teach 11-18 year olds anything to do with music: composition, history, analysis, theory and listening skills. I have a holistic approach and believe good music teaching should involve playing, listening, analysing and creating (composition). Many years of experience in preparing pupils for EDEXCEL GCSE and A level with excellent results. Happy to deliver via ZOOM as a platform.
Hey, My name is Jack, I have played guitar for over 5 years and have studied at all levels in music from GCSE-University. I have performed at various venues such as the Globe theatre in Cardiff, I look forward to teaching anyone guitar lessons.
I am a professional bassist living in East Sussex, England. I've been playing music for as long as I can remember but professionally for the last 5-8 years.
I do all kinds of work from: Studio recording, live shows, composing, and teaching.
It's my goal to help you get a better understanding of the bass and the techniques needed to play. I like to help you learn the songs you want to learn and get you to were you want to be. I'll show you all the tips and tricks and theory how I see it but most importantly I want to taylor the lessons to be around what your own goals with the instrument are.
I'm happy to teach in person or online.

Margarita knows that music theory could be an exciting subject for everyone. She works with beginners and more advanced students and has experience teaching people with special educational needs. In Margarita's lessons, you would find a supportive atmosphere, structured presentation of topics and constructive feedback allowing tracking progress and maintaining motivation. For young beginner students, Margarita uses colourful educational materials, games and applications to make studying music theory fun and catching. She explains the basics of music literacy in a clear and detailed manner. In teaching, she combines the best of the Russian music educational approach and the British ABRSM system. Margarita specialises primarily in classical music, and in the lessons, you will be able to understand the most complex areas of music theory, harmony, and musical analysis.
If the student is interested in Music Composition, Margarita also offers an exciting journey into the musical worlds of composers from different epochs, inspiring students to discover their creative universe. She is the author of a successful Music College course in Composition. In these lessons, you can find guidance on finding and developing your style in music.
The first lesson begins with an introduction and informal conversation with the student to determine their level of knowledge and skills. An individual development track should outline by the end of this lesson.
Margarita is an academic composer known for her chamber and symphonic music. She is a laureate in composer competitions. Additionally, she has composed music for theatre performances and audiobooks. Margarita has also performed as a pianist in concert venues in Moscow and other Russian cities as a soloist and in ensembles.
Hi! My name is Louis. I am a musician and bass teacher living in Birmingham. I believe you don't professional aspirations to enjoy learning music. I wish to give back to my students all the great things that music has given to me!
Hi - I'm Nic S. and I've dedicated most of my life to music. If you're passionate about music, I'd really love to help you improve your skills, and develop your creativity. My first instrument (Which I've studied to degree level) is guitar, and I consider this instrument my 'Home base'. Music is more than just 'playing guitar' though, so I'm also open to teaching music theory, composition, songwriting, production, engineering as well as mixing and mastering. I don't work to a curriculum, and I don't teach grades (Unless it's what a student wants). Whatever you're struggling with is what we'll focus on, and the music that excites you is the music we'll be learning about! I'm here to teach you, for you. Despite having an academic background, I really feel like music is for everyone, and whatever helps you achieve your goals matters more to me than if you know 'standard theory' or things like that. Feel free to get in touch and we can set up a call where I can get to know your musical interests and needs, and you can decide if you'd think I'd be a good tutor for you! :)
Saxophone, Music Theory, Arrangement and Composition, and Composition (music) lessons in Dudley, UK.
A qualified music teacher with experience teaching Btec (level 2 and 3), GCSE (Edexcel and AQA) and A level (Edexcel). 5 years of classroom teaching experience, preceded by 4 years of tutoring. Amongst the highest KS4 music results in Merseyside in 2024.
I studied at The Birmingham School of Music and the Guildhall, London where I graduated in vocal studies and Music Therapy respectively. I am a qualified teacher and have worked in various schools across the East Midlands both as a teacher and a Music Therapist. I work as an arranger for a number of acapella groups both in the folk and gospel industry. I perform regularly both in churches and small venues as a multi-instrumentalist, conductor and singer.
Tutoring Experience:
I have taught music up to 'A' level and as well as all over the UK I have worked in Romania and West Africa. I regularly teach the compositional element of ABRSM exams to grade 8, where I have a 100% pass rate and have over 25 years experience in special and state schools. I am available to teach online over Skype or Zoom.
Tutoring Approach:
I am passionate about music and endeavour to pass this on to my students. I enjoy and can play a wide variety of music from classical, pop, jazz and gospel. Each of my students is precious and I strive to help them achieve their potential at what ever level.
I'm a professional Music lecturer and tutor, Guitar teacher and Bass tutor based in the West Midlands. As a Music tutor/instrumental tutor I have 1000+ hours of teaching experience, I hold a Popular Music Degree and in a College employment setting I have 14+ years experience of teaching college students from ages 16+ to adults in a range of levels (1-5).
I know every student’s journey is different, and my aim is to meet each student where they’re at, learning through Music we discuss their aims and develop the curriculum to develop their understanding.
As a musician I play in a variety of bands and performance situations as well as session work for bands and for artists up and down the UK.
I’m a Bass player for a Midlands based punk band who have released three albums and with this I have played festivals around the UK.
I play Guitar for a folk/rock band, a high end function band and also for a Queen tribute band.
As a teacher I work closely with pupils to develop personal goals, and work together on a simple plan on how to reach them. I believe understanding the reason the student is taking lessons and playing guitar/bass or embarking on other musical developments is fundamental to providing quality tuition, so I strive to create plans with the pupil to support their aims. Each lesson always keeps the pupil’s individual goals at its centre, and is created to develop musical fluency.
Ultimately I teach the student to teach themselves by understanding core musical concepts and developing a base of fundamental skills, these include; Ear Training - learning how to recognise the chords in any given song by ear; Strumming and Picking/Fingerpicking Technique - fluency with all standard right hand techniques is a must, and I teach these prioritising what is commonly used in their favourite styles; Reading TAB as well as Staff notation.
Creative Playing, Song Writing, and Improvising is my favourite area of playing and teaching as it helps learners find their own voice! I help to build knowledge of music theory in a practical and applicable way, exploring new concepts that will enable students to discover new sounds.
Again, this is catered to their aims - if they wish to write songs we'll look at some of their favourite artists/genres, see what they're doing, and set some aims for targets to write using some of their techniques.
If learners want to improvise, we'll explore some of our favourite improvisers - what scales to they use, how do they shape their phrases, and what articulation techniques are employed.
If learners have experience playing but need to improve techniques I can show drills and exercises that will make them a better player.
We explore a lot of aspects - from how to move economically; where to have tension and where to avoid it; tonal possibilities as well as how to structure your practice so you get the most for your time, whether you have a little or a lot.

My wide experience teaching children and teenagers ensures that students will enjoy learning their instrument while making real progress.

I also teach adults, from complete beginners to university students, to other guitar teachers who want to widen their knowledge. Also for adult classical guitarists, I run a regular guitar group. This is great for sight-reading, learning new repertoire and musicianship. It's also good fun and it's a friendly and relaxed group.

Hi! I'm Iona www.*** I teach online (Zoom) and in South East London. I offer lessons in: - Folk/Pop/Rock Violin - Logic/Ableton Music Production - Songwriting, Composition, and Film Scoring I also offer support with: - Music Theory and Music Reading - GCSE, A Level and BTEC music/music technology exam VIOLIN LESSONS: My violin lessons are for anyone, no matter how young or old, who wants to learn to play the violin within the context of folk, pop, or rock. We will look at classical violin technique to ensure safety whilst playing, as well as how to read music and music theory. We will look at folk, pop, or rock repertoire, and at the techniques that can be used to make these genres come alive on the violin. MUSIC PRODUCTION LESSONS: At its simplest, music production is the careful creative process of capturing and showcasing the raw recordings of a track, arranging them in the sonic sphere in such a way that a listener can truly connect with the artist's intention. More complexly, it can build an intriguing world of sound around the core songwriting/compositional elements. I teach my students how to use music production software and how to put sounds together, leading through to creating fully recorded, produced, mixed and mastered music projects. COMPOSITION/SONGWRITING/FILM SCORING LESSONS: Have you ever wanted to write your own pieces of music? Are you looking for feedback on your work? My lessons are for anyone who wants to study the art of songwriting, composition, or film scoring. Sessions will be presented in a supportive way through constructive discussion, practical tasks, worksheets, and writing sessions.

REVIEWS:
"Exceptional and very patient teacher. I was a "mature student" who had never touched a violin before but was immediately put at ease with a tailored training programme that focused on the type of music I enjoy. Most recommended!!!"
"Iona was lovely and made me feel really comfortable as a complete beginner (at songwriting). She obviously really knows her stuff and is great at explaining and coaching. Would recommend her!"
"Iona is a passionate, dedicated and highly intelligent individual who has the ability to make what seems impossible, possible. Her (composition) lessons are fun and tailored perfectly to the needs of the student. If you want to learn music, then learn here!"
"Iona is a very patient and fantastic violin teacher! My 6 year old son loves her lessons and looks forward to them every week. He has learnt violin so quickly and I am grateful for all Iona’s help."
"My 12 year old daughter wanted to learn music production. Being Windows based we went down the Ableton live route (Industry standard). I had no idea about the software at all. We came across Iona whom was "local". Her in depth knowledge of Ableton and her strong music background have been a perfect fit for tuition. My daughter has a weekly 1 hour lesson via zoom and has progressed with basic setup to compiling beats and working towards songs. She has covered midi, instrument selection and use of microphone. Ableton is far more complex than I realised and having 1:1 with Iona I have seen great progress. My daughter looks forward to lessons and most importantly has fun with Iona making music!"
"My experience of learning music production with Iona has been overwhelmingly positive. She has excellent knowledge which she teaches in an accessible easy to understand way for a complete novice like myself. Also, she is a brilliant facilitative teacher, encouraging you to put things into practice. I was totally intimidated by the parameters of Ableton but now I’m beginning to get my head round it and have fun with it thanks to Iona."
