Audio recording
if done in right manner and with right mic-ing techniques will not depend merely on post production for it's enhancement. This consists of closed mic-ing and open mic-ing, where to use different aspects and how to apply them. For example using small diaphragm microphones for snare and larger ones for vocals.

Piano
It is the best tuned instrument that there is in the whole library. So, learning piano not only helps you to just play piano better but you can also do better in vocals, guitar, flute and other instruments. It's a go for anyone who is fond of music and wants to learn a instrument.

Music composition
This module aims to develop the students’ compositional ability using a combination of key musical understanding and the practical use of music creation software. Students will have the opportunity to investigate technical and stylistic conventions across a range of contemporary western popular music genres and to study key elements such as chord progressions, structure, harmony and melody, to develop their confidence and own abilities in composition.

These sessions will explore musical composition techniques used in popular and contemporary music. The focus will be on deconstructing different works, exploring what their musical elements are and investigating what commonality these have across the boundaries of genre or instrumentation. Students will have experience of composing original musical elements and arranging these elements into complete compositions.

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.

My name's Luca and I've been a full-time professional musician for the past 10 years. I mainly work as a session musician and recording artist/producer, and also as a private guitar tutor.
My goal when it comes to teaching is to share my knowledge and passion for music and to help you improving and having as much enjoyment from it as I have for it.

I base my lessons on my student’s ambitions and on their weaknesses, so they can improve quickly and efficiently, without loosing interest on the instrument, and so they can reach their goals, giving them a personalised lesson plan, having fun and playing different styles and techniques. Everyone is welcome to join my teaching plan if they want to spice up their playing or simply start from scratch.

I specialise in all popular musical styles, such as Pop, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Rock and more, on both electric and acoustic guitar. I'm extremely passionate in music theory, composition, arranging, and also music production. If you're interested in developing your skills in any of these areas, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

I am a professional musician and educator, with international experience as a Violin/Viola/
Chamber Music/Theory teacher, soloist, orchestra leader, chamber musician, and jury
member.
I have graduated in Violin at the Conservatory of Music "G.P. da Palestrina" of Cagliari-
Italy and in Viola at the Conservatory of Music "G. Verdi" of Milan-Italy.
My professional activity led me to work in several orchestras as performer, and in various
music schools as upper- string and chamber music teacher.
I lived and worked in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and since 2012 I made
London my home, where I developed further teaching experience within the British
system.
I have also founded "The Geminiani Project" of which I am
the director and the leader of the Camerata Geminiani, ensemble that has been invited to
perform in England, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark, and Sweden.
At the same time I have established my ensemble, I have also launched the Geminiani
Youth Orchestra (formed by young musicians aged 6 to 17 years old) as I believe in the
importance of giving an opportunity to young players to perform together, and the
amateur ensemble Hampton Chamber Orchestra; we performed with both orchestras at
various venues in London.
Regarding my teaching technique, I believe that each student is different and unique, so
the first thing I try to do is to establish a connection, then I try to understand the major
skills and major difficulties of the student in order to develop a personalised system; I pay
much importance also to the emotional aspect the student is dealing with in order to build
passion and love for music.
I strongly believe that, once achieved a technical skill, the student must have the chance to
play with the teacher and with other students, and feel the excitement of making music
together.
I have experience in preparing students for auditions, competitions, or ABRSM/Trinity
exams with excellent results; I love what I do and I love to see my pupils achieving high
level results.
Some of my students have been awarded at international competitions, some other former
students are covering leading roles in international orchestras or in chamber ensembles.

Using jazz music as my specialism, I am able to teach even the most technically challenging concepts in their most basic forms and transfer them to the guitar in their most simple terms. I have taught the guitar, music theory and GCSE and A-Level Music syllabuses for six years to students of all ages and abilities and across every imaginable genre.

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!).

Whether you are taking your very first steps at the keyboard, returning to the piano after years away, or looking to refine your technique, these tailored lessons are designed to help you thrive.

While my teaching is rooted in the rich traditions of classical music—focusing on healthy technique, expressive playing, understanding the language of music—every lesson is customized to the student's unique goals, pace, and interests. From Bach, Mozart, through Chopin to modern fundamentals, we will build a beautiful musical foundation together.

What We Will Focus On:

• Refining Technique & Articulation: Working on hand physiology, finger independence, and a relaxed posture to overcome technical hurdles and play with greater ease.

• Musical Interpretation: Moving beyond the notes on the page to explore phrasing, dynamics, and historical style, helping you bring true character to your repertoire.

• Analytical Reading & Efficiency: Deepening your understanding of scores and harmonic structure so you can practice more effectively and learn new pieces faster.

• Repertoire Expansion: Building a rewarding selection of music—focused on the rich classical tradition—tailored to your current level and musical aspirations.
