English
Music is a great way to enrich your life. Get involved!
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach the Cello at all levels, although the majority of my pupils were beginners when they came to me. I am also proficient in teaching all aspects of harmony and musicianship and can teach theory for grades.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a Bachelor of Music Honours degree from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and also a Masters in Music and Performance from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Whilst at Guildhall I studied with the Head of Strings Louise Hopkins.
- How much do you charge?
I charge £35 for a lesson (usually an hour but more if my schedule allows and the student has prepared well!)
I also teach theory and musicianship at £20 an hour. This can supplement a students learning and help the student to get over the Grade 5 theory barrier.
- Where do you teach?
I prefer to teach from home as I have a superb teaching space with marvellous accoustics, although I am happy to travel to pupils also.
- When are you available?
I am fairly flexible on scheduling lessons although generally I arrange lessons on a week to week basis.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach all ages and levels from beginner to advanced. I tend to teach mostly adults through the tutor pages although I teach at a Saturday morning academy at the William Ellis School in North London.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I prepare students for ABRSM and Guildhall/Trinity Grades, however normally I only use them as a loose structure, preferring to find pieces that will supplement the technical and musical abilities of each individual student.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Taking up an instrument is a great way to engage your mind. Whether you are young or old, the enjoyment and reward of being able to 'join in' and make music with others is immensely satisfying.
