About Philip
- What kind of experience do you have?
I am a successful freelance session player in London. Having performed and taught the horn and other brass instruments for 25 years. I have taught beginners aged 7yrs up to music students preparing for examinations & music college.
Several of my ex-pupils are now playing professionally and have never had a student fail an exam or entrance exam.
That said I am just as adapt not teaching to any guidelines apart from a love of music and the intrument without the need to follow an exam program.
I will design my lessons to your needs and interests while retaining a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I have held CRB certificate's from 07-09 while working for music service's but do not hold one at present.
I encourage parents to take part in my lesson's. I find it useful on many levels including, being able to support their child to study during the week & in developing a safe and trusting relationship with both pupil and parent.
