About Leo
- What kind of experience do you have?
I am a fun and enthusiastic teacher with over 10 years of private teaching experience, from beginner level to grade 8 standard and beyond. I have experience with all ages and musical abilities and have always had fantastic results. In this time I have prepared students for Jazz and classical graded exams, prepared students for music conservatoire auditions, taught jazz improvisation and theory, worked on aural training and have taught general theory and harmony.
In addition to private tuition, I have worked for Barnet music service, teaching in 5 schools as a visiting woodwind teacher providing lessons from 1:1, small group, large group and whole class tuition. I currently teach woodwind lessons at a school in Hampstead.
