- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

- Do you have a personal message for students?
As a professional musician living and working in London the key to success is diversity. I have thus spent my time working on the three main areas that interest me; academia, performance and composition. As a result I have a wide knowledge of rock, pop, latin, jazz, balkan, middle eastern african and orchestral music and can teach students whatever they want to learn in these areas. Whether it's how to play 'that drum groove in the new daft punk tune' or how to play traditional ghanian kpanlogo music; how to write a rag in the style of Scott Joplin or wanting to learn how to do a Schenkerian analysis of a Chopin piano sonata. The advantage of having knowledge in all of these areas is that it allows me to enrich the students experience of the discipline they choose to study by providing them with deeper understanding and context.
