Over 10 years of experience playing both guitar and piano across a broad range of musical styles. My style of teaching is all about harnessing the point of interest for students, and using it as a jumping-off point to develop musical vocabulary and understanding. Music is meant to be enjoyed, and this goes for learning it too!
With a deep working knowledge of music theory and experience in blues, jazz, pop, funk and more, I am able to work well within any frame of musical reference in order to harness and develop a students interest in music.
I am a very patient, friendly and empathetic person, and I appreciate the importance of fostering a positive relationship in order to achieve the best outcomes for students.
The main aim of my lessons is to get the student enjoying what they are learning. Through teaching many students, I have found that the most enjoyable and engaging lessons are always the most productive for the student.
As an accordionist, I have toured the world in my indie-folk band, performing at Glastonbury and writing a Top 40 Album. Whilst studying at The University of Manchester for my MusB Music degree, I specialised in classical piano performance, folk and contemporary accordion performance and composition.
Although I am classically trained, I also have a passion for folk music from around the world. This mixture of interest gives my lessons a rounded approach to music learning. In December 2018 I was awarded the Yiddish New York Scholarship for performance; this allowed me to travel to New York to perform in an international Klezmer festival with some of the best Klezmer musicians in the world.
I have lots of experience tutoring children between the ages of 5-13; my lessons are based around enjoyment as I believe learning should always be fun.
I have been teaching privately for over 20 years. In that time I have had hundreds of students, many of whom have taken multiple ABRSM exams, diplomas, music GCSE, A level and gone on to study music at university/college. I’ve also been involved in many school workshops, delivering music education to primary and secondary school students.
Beginner students all start in the same place, learning the fundamentals of music and piano. There is a big focus on rhythm during the early lessons. Once students have developed I allow them to choose their own path, whether it be classical or jazz, taking exams or not taking exams. I guide students in the direction that THEY want to follow.
At the core of teaching is understanding the music on a deeper level, not simply playing the written music.
