My Mission

Passionate Teacher

I am a passionate and enthusiastic musician, who thrives in learning new skills and meeting new people. This extends to my love of teaching piano, saxophone and music theory, as I am able to share in the new experiences a beginner or experienced player discovers during their lessons.

I like to make sure my lessons are always enjoyable. As well as learning theory and musical understanding, I like to make sure my students learn the music they enjoy and learn songs that you find interesting. I think that learning familiar music is the key to making substantial progress in your playing. My lessons are always taken at a speed that you can feel comfortable with and I will adapt my teaching style to fit your learning and playing level.

My Lessons

Experienced Songwriter

Alongside jazz, I started my musical career playing classical piano and saxophone. Since I have played in a Wind Orchestra at University in which we played styles from classical to musicals: I have also played in the pit for various musicals. This can help me provide you with tuition in different styles or help you gain confidence towards performing yourself.

I am an avid composer and songwriter too, having written songs for myself to sing and play at a piano, or to perform with my bands. I am more than happy to teach composition or music theory.

Prices:


£15 per 1/2 hour
£25 per 3/4 hour
£30 per hour

Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.

My Experience as a Teacher

After achieving a degree in music, I went onto teaching students privately from age 4-60 and whole-class and group lessons in schools in my local area. I am very confident in teaching any ability on saxophone and up to grade 6 piano, and ensure that my lessons are fun, engaging and informative. Each lesson is tailored to each individual student, and I include music theory along the way.

I have been gigging regularly for around 9 years, playing in ensembles covering many genres such as Jazz fusion, electronic funk fusion, Afrobeat, Indie, Jazz Big Band, Classical Wind Orchestra, pit bands for musicals and many other ensembles influenced by indie, pop, hip-hop, rock and others.

I am also an avid composer and songwriter, and love involving creative activities in lessons. Due to this, my playing is eclectic and it allows me to be able to teach a wide range of styles.
