Music Theory and Analysis classes for A-Level and GCSE students
course price icon
From 49 C$ /h
arrow icon
These classes are designed to help students currently studying for their A-Level music examinations. I have experience across a number of exam boards, from AQA to Northern Ireland's CCEA. These classes focus on a number of key areas, such as set work analysis, unseen listening analysis, and written essay exam preparation. These classes use a discussion-led approach to learning, ensuring students can improve in their vocal and written understanding of music analysis.

Homework is generally given in the form of extra listening examples to immerse students further in the musical vocabulary of the set works they are required to study depending on their given exam board.

About Me
Originally from Derry, Northern Ireland, I am a recent Musical Theatre graduate from the Royal Academy of Music. Now living in London, I provide music tuition for students preparing for a broad range of exams.

I have a wide range of music knowledge, combining my musical theatre expertise with more classical teaching from the University of Oxford, where a graduated with a 2:1 in BA (hons) Music. This makes me well suited to teaching exam syllabi as the scope of study has become broader in recent years, including areas of study which are moving away from the standard classical canon of Western music.
Education
Royal Academy of Music, MA (Musical Theatre), Result Pending, 2022-2023
University of Oxford, BA (hons) Music, 2:1, 2019-2022
Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, Music Foundation Year, Distinction, 2018-2019
Experience / Qualifications
I have been tutoring music since graduation from the University of Oxford in 2022 with a 2:1 in Music. I have experience in working with A-Level, GCSE, and KS3 students, teaching areas of musical aural and written analysis, as well as written essay preparation as part of their exam curriculum.

Classical and Musical Theatre Singing Lessons for all ages
80 C$ /h
The main aim of these lessons is to help singers from a wide range of prior experience and ability to further their passion for singing.

I am a recent MA Musical Theatre graduate from the Royal Academy of Music and have a wealth of performance experience in the genre. I am also classically trained and have achieved distinctions in classical voice grades as well as a BA (hons) Music degree from the University of Oxford where I achieved the cohort's highest grade for my performance recital in 2022. I have experience performing in operatic productions, another genre which keen students can gain tuition.

I believe everyone should, at some point in their life, be exposed to a degree of music education. As a guitar player, I have spent 15 years playing and over 6 years teaching, and sharing this belief with audiences and pupils alike.

All of my guitar lessons are tailored entirely to the individual student.

Graded and non-graded pathways are both considered, and I work with each pupil to decide which course is right for them.

We can consider on any aspect of guitar and music making you like:

Chords / harmony
Solos / improvising
Strumming / rhythm
Technique / L/R Hand
Aural
Theory
Equipment / maintenance

I have a 100% success rate from my exam entrants, and have taken pupils to Grade 8 and beyond.

I am fully DBS checked, and trained in child safeguarding

-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.

Music is such an amazing way of expressing yourself and once you learn the basics you'll realise you won't be able to do without it:) I always strive to create a fun and relaxed environment where each student can feel at ease to progress at their own pace. I have experience teaching younger and older kids and adults. I have done my A levels this year and I am grade 8 violin and have done my DipABRSM in piano.

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!).

Hey! My name is Seán, and I am an Irish singer-songwriter based in London with 2 years of teaching experience. I teach a range of disciplines, including piano, guitar, vocals, songwriting, and music theory. Having taught students of all ages and different levels of musicianship, I am pleased to say that I have built long-lasting relationships with many of my students. With an emphasis on creativity and student input; my lessons allow students to discover their own playing style and musical direction.

I strongly believe that people learn best when they enjoy what they’re doing, and I incorporate this into my teaching style. I strongly encourage my students to bring their own ideas and suggestions to the lessons; that way they can learn a piece of music that they really like. With a background in classical music, I underpin my lessons with useful technical exercises that encourage dexterity, time-keeping and fluency. Finally, I encourage all my students to learn at least the fundamentals of music theory and sight reading. Striking a healthy balance between diligent exercises, music theory and fun musical expression, my lessons allow students to explore their musicality on all fronts.

Whether you’re a complete beginner, or you’re building upon your existing skills, I am here to help you reach your musical goals. Lessons are available immediately, looking forward to hearing from you!

Qualifications:
- Grade 8 Classical Piano - Royal Irish Academy of Music
- Piano, Vocal, and Guitar Training
- MA in Music Production, LCCM
- Decade of Songwriting Experience
- Frontman for Seán and the Late Bloomers

Developing an understanding and knowledge of music theory helps musicians at all levels to perform confidently and interpret the music with ease. In preparing for a music theory exam you grasp the fundamentals of rhythm, harmony and melody which is essential for good musicianship.

If you're taking a Practical or Performance Grade 6, 7 or 8, you must pass Grade 5 or above in Music Theory before you book your exam to make sure that you have the understanding you need to interpret and perform music at these higher grades.

My classes are for the beginner to intermediate level musicians and I will cover everything you need for music theory exams up to Grade 5 theory.

Evie
Evie studied music at university in London and has been playing violin and viola for over 20 years. She is interested in a broad range of music, which she hopes to share with students of all ages and abilities in their lessons. As a performer, Evie plays in various settings - folk, jazz, in bands, as well as more typical orchestral and chamber ensembles. Her own musical interest currently lies in folk, baroque music and improvisation.

Evie has been teaching a broad range of students for the last eight years: those who wish to take graded exams, those looking to explore folk and improvisation, expand their repertoire, or brush up on technique. She also currently teaches group violin classes at a primary school in London.

She has found that encouraging a structured and regular practice at home, if possible with the help of a parent or guardian, is the best way to reach goals and feel confident while playing. Most of all, she encourages students to be open-minded, inquisitive, and ready to listen to a variety of music! Evie is always ready to cater specifically to the needs and interests of the student, and to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. In lessons, she will cover sight-reading, exam preparation, music theory, focused technique, improvisation, standard repertoire, and any music the student may wish to explore on their instrument.

I am a UK-trained violinist with a strong background in performance, orchestral playing, and teaching. What defines my teaching is precision, clarity, and care for healthy technique. I help students build a secure technical foundation while developing confidence, musical awareness, and expressive sound. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in guiding them patiently and responsibly. With young students, I focus on posture, coordination, listening skills, and confidence, creating a positive and motivating learning environment from the very beginning. I also work with teenagers and adults, including returners who feel tense or stuck. My lessons are structured, calm, and highly focused, helping students understand how to practise effectively and progress with purpose. I combine high standards with a supportive and respectful approach, adapting my teaching to each student’s age, level, and goals.
My violin lessons are carefully structured to develop strong technique, musical understanding, and long-term confidence. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s age, level, and physical comfort. I identify technical issues early and address them methodically, ensuring healthy posture and efficient movement.
We work in depth on:
• posture and body balance •
•bow control and sound production
• left-hand technique, intonation, and coordination
• musical phrasing and stylistic awareness
With children, lessons are patient, encouraging, and well-paced, building discipline and confidence step by step. With older students and adults, lessons are focused, analytical, and goal-oriented. My aim is not only improvement, but to give students reliable tools they can use independently in their practice.
