About Me
Jack is a composer based in London, UK who composes concert music and music for the screen.

Jack has composed music for numerous short films including Past Life Whispers (2023) by Christ Heart. In 2022, he also composed music for A Candle by the same director, which won 'Best Super Short Film' at SWIFF USA. Has also scored animations such as Star Trek-inspired Celestia (2023 - Christoph Diekneite) and worked on music for adverts such as Namsu (dir. Hardik Parikh) and music for the podcast Where is Cinema?. In his role as co-president of the Royal College of Music Film Scoring Society, Jack interviewed Howard Shore (composer on The Lord of the Rings) and has helped organise talks and Q+A sessions with composers such as Mychael Danna and Pinar Toprak.

In 2023, Jack composed the a fanfare for the Royal College of Music's graduation ceremonies. Titled Prince Consort Calling, the work now features in the RCM's library collection. Jack’s choral work Ave Maria was selected by Paul Melalor as part of a masterclass series with JAM to be workshopped by VOCES8. It was performed in October 2022, having been previously premiered by Portsmouth Cathedral Choir in 2021. Jack’s work for Marimba Duet Sylvan Fantasy, written for category finalists of BBC Young Musician 2020 Isaac Harari and Toril Azzalini-Machecler, was premiered online as part of the World Percussion Group Virtual Tour 2021. It was later premiered in-concert at the Cuckfield Music Festival in June 2022. The RCM Chamber Music Series World has hosted world premieres of The Spring (Vocal Quartet) and Folk Suite for Three Winds.

Jack has been a scholar of the Royal College of Music since 2020, studying Composition and Composition for Screen since 2020.

He is also a committed educator, having delivering children's music classes with M:Tech, and maintaining his own private practice. Jack is also an avid Minecraft player, a bad but committed chess player, and a dubiously inexperienced gym enthusiast. He is an active composer in both the media and concert world and welcomes collaborations with creators, artists and performers.

Elena
I am a classically trained pianist with a versatile approach to teaching. I share my passion and experience of music, sparking imagination and inspiring creativity of my students.
Throughout my teaching career (over 10 years) I have always strived to help students of different ages and abilities to achieve their best. I am proficient in various teaching methodologies and able to chose what is appropriate for certain students, relying on their background, capacity, skills, way of thinking, personal qualities, age, and preferences in music taste.
I prepare students for ABRSM, Trinity and Rockschool exams. Using individual approach, I am experienced in teaching not only classical music, but also contemporary music, neoclassical music, jazz music and others. I am convinced that excellent results can be reached by encouraging students to share my love of music by introducing them history, theory, harmony, broaden their musical perspective.
I am fully qualified, having graduated from The Odessa National A.V.Nezhdanova Music Academy (Bachelor Degree in Performance and Teaching) and The Royal Academy of Music in London, where I have obtained a Master Degree in Performance with distinction.
I completed a course of composition with Edmund Finnis (two albums of neoclassical music released (Ellen F - Monologue and Ellen F - Hug The Sadness), participated as a piano accompanist at the masterclass with Helmut Deutsch at the Royal Academy of Music, attended coaching sessions under the supervision of Lada Valešová, Richard Stokes, Marek Ruszczynski, Ingrid Surgenor and others.

Hugh
Hi, I’m Hugh – a qualified and experienced musician with a Bachelor’s Degree and Honours in Music Performance and Production from The London Centre of Contemporary Music. With over ten years of experience as a guitarist and vocalist, I’ve had the privilege of performing across the UK in several touring bands. My musical journey has seen me perform in genres ranging from funk, indie, to rock.

As an enthusiastic and passionate teacher, I enjoy working with both children and adults to help them reach their musical goals. I understand that every musician is unique, so I always tailor my lessons to suit the individual needs of my students, ensuring that learning is both engaging and fun.

What I Offer:

Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I can help with the following:

Songwriting: Struggling with that elusive bridge for your next band anthem? Let's work together to craft that perfect section and bring your songwriting ideas to life.

Vocal Training: I offer lessons to help you develop your vocal range, pitch, projection, control, tone, diction, runs, and vibrato in chest, head, and combined voice.

Music Theory: Want to conquer the theory side of things? I’ll break down complex concepts so you can understand and apply them in your playing and writing.

Accelerated Learning: Learn faster and easier with tailored methodologies that boost your ability to improvise and master the guitar and vocals.

Ear Training: Hone your ability to replicate melodies, intervals, chords, and songs by ear, so you can hear and play anything you want.

Jam Sessions: We can jam together, covering songs of your choice, to gain a deeper understanding of guitar, vocals, and songwriting.

Fretboard Mastery: Learn how to break down and master the fretboard. Understand triads, seventh chords, and scales in all positions for better improvisation and composition.

My Teaching Style:

I believe that every student has their own way of learning and discovering music. I adapt my lessons to meet your needs and interests, keeping things enjoyable while ensuring progress. Whether you're into playing your favourite covers, writing your own songs, or just want to improve your technique, I’m here to help you grow as a musician.
