From 136.47 C$ /h

I would love to share with you my passion for improvising and creating new music. Shake off those inhibitions and sign up for a lesson! Discussions about and techniques to help musicians with improvising. Teaching from either violin or keyboard.

A basic or advanced level of instrumental skills is suitable for this class. We will discuss ideas, processes and techniques to assist with improvising.....we’ll explore the use of harmony, rhythmic patterns and how we can train the ear to create patterns in sound.

I am a member of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with years of experience as a Violinist and am passionate about improvisatory music.

Personal description:
I am a professional classical musician, with a master’s degree in flute playing and years of experience playing solo, chamber music and with orchestras internationally.
I offer Flute and Music Theory lessons to children and adults of all ages, skill levels (grades 1 through 8 and beyond). Also I offer Piano lessons for beginners (grades 1 and 2).
Tutoring experience:
I have worked in the National School of Arts “Prof. L. Pipkoff” Sofia, Bulgaria. My class had children of different ages and mastery of the subject. I prepared them for national exams and concert appearances. I’ve also given privet lessons.
Tutoring approach:
Since every pupil is different, I believe that a good teacher always adjusts his methods to the needs and personality of his student. I strive to provide a structured and clear lesson, while focusing on music as something to be enjoyed. I work with the requirements of the grade system (from grade 1 to grade 8). In the process the child will learn: Instrumental techniques, music literacy, correct breathing and ear training.

I am a piano teacher and also an accompanist. I have been teaching children and adults for 10 years. I like my work, music is an art to be enjoyed, and I'm happy to share my studies and years of music.
I have a degree and I have a master's degree in piano, in Italy.

With over fifteen years experience, I specialise in teaching flute, piano and theory to students of all ages and levels. I enjoy getting to know each student personally and honing in on what makes them excited about learning music.

I am also a freelance flutist, playing regularly with orchestras, and chamber ensembles in London, Europe and Australia.

I have vast experience teaching in schools and universities, regularly preparing students for performances, Trinity College of Music examinations and music college auditions. I hold my BMusPerf Hons degree with First Class Honours in Flute Performance and my AMusA, LMusA and LTCL diplomas.

Learn to play the piano with a professionally trained musician with 10 years of instrumental teaching experience. I teach pupils of all levels and ages and have experience in teaching both adults and children. Every pupil is different and learn in different ways and I believe that it is important to identify what each student responds to in order to get the best results. A solid technique is crucial but instead of repeating various technical exercises which can be a bit tedious, I try to identify these techniques within pieces of music, helping them understand how good technique affects and supports their everyday learning, practicing and performing.

These lessons will cover a range of musical learning to fit your needs and aspirations.
From contemporary and pop music to classical music, sight reading to lead sheets. You will be able to uncover the patterns that will make learning and understanding music so easier than one might expect.
Become the piano player you've always wanted to be by playing some of you favourite songs and pieces while learning how to play new pieces of music that you have only heard and only ever dreamed of being able to play.

For some fun, educational and challenging lessons put your best foot forward and have some lessons with me.

-5 years tutoring experience
-10 years experience of piano-playing and live performance - both as a solo performer and with improvisational groups
-100% pass rate for my students who have taken ABRSM and Trinity Piano exams
-ABRSM Grade 8 Piano
-ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory
-Attended Dulwich College on a Music Exhibition
-Advanced DBS checked

I have been playing piano all my life and performing for about 10 years around the UK. I have been teaching beginner and advanced students for around 5 years. I have ABRSM Grade 8 Piano, ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory, and I am currently awaiting the result of a Dip(ABRSM) in Teaching Piano. I have taught preparation for Grade exams in both the Trinity and ABRSM syllabuses, with 100% pass rate for my students.

I enjoy finding ways to teach piano-playing techniques and music theory in an accessible way. My methodology usually involves the use of improvisational techniques to get confident with scales and arpeggios, and to understand music theory better. I encourage my students to listen further to music related to what we're playing, and enjoy guiding them in what to listen to next. As a performer myself, I understand the importance of feeling relaxed and confident with what you're playing.

I believe lessons should be first and foremost enjoyable, but also serve as a means to break new ground and inspire as much practice as possible at home! So we'll start by establishing an objective of the student's choice that reflects their ambitions, and then work through the appropriate techniques, exercises, and repertoire that allows us to get there in as enjoyable a way as possible!

Lessons will be supplemented with listening/aural exercises, music theory training, and performance/contextual discussions (if necessary!).
