Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach Music Theory to pupils either wishing to sit an exam or just for pleasure.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I developed my love of music theory whilst studying towards my music GCSE and later my music A-Level. This inspired me to teach myself music theory and I entered myself for Grade 5, which I passed with distinction. I went on to pass Grade 7 with distinction and was awarded the Hedy-King Robinson prize, which recognizes high standards in the study of music theory. I later passed my grade 8 with merit and I also have completed a Masters in Music. As well as my private music theory tuition, I teach music and theory to pre-school children. I also like to compose music in my spare time.

What kind of experience do you have?
I have been teaching music to pre-school children for seven years. I have been teaching music theory for three years.

How much do you charge?
I charge £18 for 30mins and £35 for an hour.

Where do you teach?
I teach from home and am prepared to travel short distances to pupils homes to teach.

When are you available?
I am available to teach on weekdays up until 6pm during term-time and holidays.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach all ages from beginners to advanced.

Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
ABRSM music theory grades

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes.

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I am available on weekdays from 11am until 7pm

Do you have a personal message for students?
Many music students see music theory as a chore and don't enjoy it because they are not introduced to it straightaway, and are usually faced with it when wanting to progress in their practical grades. I firmly believe that it is crucial to learn both theory and practical side by side as they each enhance the others understanding of music. I have a real desire to pass on my love of music theory and want to make it an area of music that is enjoyable and knowledgeable rather than just a compulsory step in the practical music process
