Classical Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drum and Percussion, Ukulele, and Music Theory lessons in Leighton Buzzard, UK.
I am excited to teach anybody looking for beginner to grade 5/6 lessons in flute, piano or music theory. I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I started learning the flute as I believe its important to give people the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. The most important thing is that the student finds the lessons enjoyable and that they also feel like they are progressing with whatever goals they set for themselves, whether it be gcse or just learning for fun!
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.
I am a qualified music teacher. My PGCE is from Canterbury Christ Church University. I have a Diploma in Music from Berklee College of Music , and a BA in Music from Dartington College of Arts. I have worked as a professional performer in a variety of groups, including appearances at major European festivals, on TV and radio.
I teach guitar, piano (or electric keyboard), and bass to advanced standard. I teach the use of music technology for composition and production. Software I have used include ProTools, Studio One, Reason, Logic, GarageBand, Sibelius, MuLab and Audacity. I teach music theory and harmony to degree level. I have taught curriculum music in schools since 2003, so can help pupils prepare for GCSE, A Level and scholarship preparation.
My approach to music education, whether it be in performance or composition, is patient and methodical. Music can have a magical effect on us, but it is not magic. It is actually very formulaic, and the learning and understanding of it is best done in a patient and methodical manner.
