Hello! I am a highly experienced Keyboard Player, Composer, Teacher, and Computer Wizz...
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I am able to teach Piano (Classical, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues), Theory (Jazz and Classical), Composition (especially Pop and TV Music), and Music Technology (Logic, Cubase, Sibelius + more).

We can work towards grades or learn for fun.
Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a 1st Class BA Hons in Music from the University of Durham, and have completed a summer Jazz programme with the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. I have also studied privately with tutors from the Guildhall and the Royal Academy.
What kind of experience do you have?
I have over 5 years of teaching experience and am also an active Musician / Composer...

Playing the Keyboard, I have had the opportunity to perform with some of the best session musicians in the business - this has included the band members of Stevie Wonder, Prince, Amy Winehouse and more. I have taken to the stage all over the UK and also in Jazz Bars, Clubs, and Restaurants as far afield as Japan, Korea, and Australia.

As a Composer I have had my work used on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and at Theatres across London.
How much do you charge?
I am able to offer a free 30minute consultation lesson - this allows me to find out what you are looking to get from the lessons and for you to ask any questions.

After the consultation my lessons are:
£25 p/h at my house
£32 p/h if I travel to you
Where do you teach?
I teach at my house in Stoke Newington (N16) and am also able to travel to anywhere within a few miles. That includes: Dalston / Hackney / London Fields (E8), Clapton (E5), Highbury (N5), Islington / Barnsbury / Canonbury / Hoxton (N1), Finsbury Park / Harringay (N4), Crouch End / Hornsey (N8), Tottenham (N15)
When are you available?
Flexible - Available both daytime and evenings depending when is convenient for you.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
I currently teach both Kids and Adults. Some are complete beginners, some are talented classical musicians who are looking to start playing jazz. I also teach a lot of 'traditionally' taught musicians who are looking to get to grips with music technology to help them compose and record.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes
Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
The more theoretical aspects of music tuition can be taught online via Skype.

Why Does My Music Sound So Bad in Sibelius?

Sibelius is a fantastic tool for composers - an orchestra literally at your fingertips! But even the greatest symphony in the world is going to sound terrible when played through the notational software. A problem for many composers who use Sibelius is that the horrible instrument sounds that come with the program can lead them to believe that...
