ABOUT ME:

My name is Christian.

I'm a professional musician, and have 10 years experience working as a music teacher. I teach Jazz, Classical, Rock and Pop, and Theory. Playing music just about the most fun thing a person can do and my goal is to bring that joy to my lessons.

I attended King's College London, where I studied music, majoring in composition, and achieved a 1st Class (Hons) Degree.

I have performed at some of London's most prestigious venues including The Royal Festival Hall, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club, Kansas Smitty's, Wilderness Festival, The Nightjar, The Ned London, and many more.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE:

I have been working as a private piano, singing teacher, and music tutor for 10 years, helping students achieve their personal goals, success with their ABRSM and Trinity instrumental exams, and their desired GCSE and A Level Results.

I also worked as a peripatetic teacher in a secondary school (Bishop Thomas Grant School) for three years before deciding to make my teaching practice entirely private. While at the school I taught piano, I also tutored GCSE and A Level students through their exams. I also ran the school's jazz band throughout my tenure where I taught jazz, ensemble, and improvisational skills to students on many different instruments.

ABOUT OUR LESSONS:

In our lessons, I will work with you to come up with a teaching plan that will best suit you. I am very open to all musical styles so will make sure that the material we are covering is always the music you want to be learning!

If you or your child would like to pursue grades with ABRSM or Trinity exam boards, you will be pleased to know that my students have had a 100% success rate, with many achieving merit or distinction.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch!

Mariam
Mariam offers classical piano lessons for ages 5 and above, from beginner to advanced. This piano teacher has a Master of Arts in Performance Practice, a Master of Philosophy in Music, and a wealth of experience both teaching and performing on piano. Mariam has been teaching piano lessons since 2000. Mariam made her Carnegie Hall debut at age 16 as the youngest pianist in Carnegie's history to have performed J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations. She has numerous accomplishments in piano, including recording a critically-noted CD of the Goldberg Variations, appearing live on radio and television, winning prizes at competitions, and receiving international press recognition. Mariam has performed as a recitalist, chamber musician, and soloist with orchestras including the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart, the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra, and the Boston Pops, in venues ranging from Symphony Hall in Boston, Lincoln Center in New York, the Grand Philharmonic Hall in Saint Petersburg, and the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. She has performed around the world, including in Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. As a result of a portfolio career in music, Mariam's teaching methodology reflects a holistic approach to piano performance and musicianship development. She aims to advance piano technique through music history, theory, and analysis. She also structures individualized programs to build on each student’s strengths to empower independent study through self-awareness, critical thinking, and listening comprehension.
