Learn something new today!
Which subject(s) do you teach?
Violin, Drum Kit, Viola and Percussion.
Tell me about your qualifications.
Grade 8 on the violin and drums. I studied the violin at Junior Royal Academy of Music (Scholarship) and then Royal Northern College of Music (Scholarship) on a Bmus course. I am also currently studying Drum Kit in my final year at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance on a Bmus course.
What kind of experience do you have?
Playing experience- Royal Albert Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Hammersmith Apollo (w/ Amy MacDonald), Glastonbury Other Stage (w/ Elbow), Secret Garden Party, La Scala, London Underworld, Henley Festival, Holders Festival Barbados, Brisbane Festival, Purmerend Festival Norway, and I play regularly in Covent Garden.


Teaching experiece- I have taught the violin and the drums privately at my home in Crystal Palace for the last 3 years, and my pupils have had pupils ranging from 7 to 14 years old.

I studied the Suzuki method (violin) when I first started learning, so I use some of the techniques that this offers, including games and rhymes to make learning more fun. I also use clapping games and rhythmic exercises to help general musicianship and make learning the drums a less daunting task, since it can be a fairly scary instrument to start learning for a child!

For more advanced drummers, I specialize in teaching double-kick patterns and advanced hand techniques.

I have also occasionally taken chamber music groups for rehearsals when I was at high school and on summer music courses.
How much do you charge?
I charge £30 per hour for all instruments, and £20 half-hour lessons, which can be more suitable for younger children. Travelling may incur some small travel expenses depending on where I am going!
Where do you teach?
At my home in Crystal Palace, or at students' homes. Nearby towns are; Norwood, Penge, Anerly, Brockley, New Cross Gate, Sydenham, Forest Hill, Dulwich, Peckham, Central London, West London, South London, South East London, East Croydon, South Croydon
When are you available?
My lesson days/times are flexible. I teach during the week and on the weekends, particularly on Sundays. I also teach after school hours and in the evenings for more mature students that work 9-5 hours.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
Any age, any level, from 5 years old upwards!
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
All grades on all the instruments I play.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes
Where and with whom did you train?
Junior Royal Academy of Music- Ben Wragg (violin)
Royal Northern College of Music- Jan Repko and Eyal Kless (violin)
Privately with David Webster (drums)
Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (Darren Ashford, Justin Scott, Neil Martin)
Do you have a personal message for students?
I gig fairly regularly all year round, and I belong to 3 different original bands and groups. Please feel free to check these out to listen to the music or watch the videos.

My first group is called 'Bowjangles', and we are a string quartet with a difference! We all play, sing and dance at the same time. We have been invited to play at Glastonbury and Secret Garden Party for the last 3 years and have gigged all over the world. You can check us out on www.bowjangles.org

My second group is a metal band I formed 3 years ago called 'Karybdis'. Metal is my favourite genre of music to drum, and we have recently had a lot of very exciting things happening, as well as recording our first ever music video which you can check out on www.myspace.com/karybdisband

My third original group is a pop/rock group called 'Me and the Mountain'. I usually play drums, but also play violin at some of our accoustic gigs. We also have a music video, and the group is picking up speed very quickly and getting a lot of attention. Www.myspace.com/meandthemountain

I also play in a string quartet and string sextet, since chamber music has always been a passion of mine!
I am a working musician, so if you are looking to learn an instrument with the goal of gigging yourself or forming your own band or group, I am happy to help out in any way I can.
