I am a current music student at university. I have an immense love for music history and theory. I am to keep this love going and showing students there's more to music theory than it being the "boring" element!

Music Theory is the foundations for all pieces composed. This class is for anyone who wants to work towards the Music Theory exams, or anybody who simply wants to learn Music Theory!

Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question and you'll never be ridiculed for not knowing an answer or concept!

Jim has taught in Primary schools Secondary schools, A level colleges for over 20 years and has managed instore guitar lessons for the largest music retailer in the UK for the same time Period.

He personally prepares at least two full exam days, with his school and private students, for either LCM or RSL yearly. With candidates entering exams from grade 1 to grade 8ups and 1-1

I have 8 years experience as an Information Technology and Business Studies teacher in a Secondary School. I am also a Head of Year group along with the professional lead mentor for PGSE Students training at school.

I have experience with many exam boards and can help to prepare you for examinations and coursework.
I can provide extra tuition for students in lower years with an interest and passion for both subjects.
If you are a trainee teacher needing help / guidance with applications, lessons or behaviour management I can also work with you.

Josh has been teaching Guitar and Music Theory for 2 years to a range of different ages and abilities. By creating individually tailored lessons for each student, Josh focusses on personal interests and goals in order to keep sessions interesting and fun. However, whilst doing this, focus is maintained on the areas of those interests which will help with kickstarting their progression!

A typical lesson will consist of working on a song, technique, theory , or all of them combined. From this, students will get to keep their worksheets, leaving plenty of resources for individual practise!

Josh has been working as a musician for several years, gigging, teaching, and composing professionally. Alongside this, he graduated from LIPA with a First Class Honours in Music. Josh also possesses music theory knowledge up to ABRSM Grade 5.

As a session musician, Josh covers a large range of genres regularly and can cater to many different interests for his students. However, the genres of Rock, Jazz, Funk, and Soul are his preferred styles.

Josh looks forward to hearing from you for all of your Guitar and/or Music Theory needs. Thanks!

I am a Grade 7 pianist and have played piano for nearly my whole life! I have also played several other instruments. I also have my Grade 5 Music Theory.

Music theory is important for any musician to further understand the instrument they are learning. It is best to start with theory as soon as you can in your music journey. In order to progress past Grade 5 you require the music theory examination.

I have played and studied music most of my life and as your tutor I would love to help you gain a further understanding of music and prepare for any music theory exams you may want to sit.

Hello! My name is Jen and I am a session guitar and bass guitar player with over 10 years of professional experience. I have performed in a wide variety of bands, playing genres such as pop, rock, soul, jazz and folk, and using techniques like finger-style, slap, palm muting and picking.

It is so important for people of all ages to learn new skills and discover methods of self expression - playing an instrument can be a gateway to enhancing children's development and future life skills. This is why I am so enthusiastic about teaching music to kids but also to anyone wanting to learn. I will listen to their needs and goals and personalise the process for each individual ensuring they get the most out of these sessions.

I am eager to share and teach my knowledge of these wonderful instruments and inspire my students to have fun whilst playing and in turn, excel as a musician and performer!

I also teach music theory as it is a pivitol part of understanding the instrument at harder levels.

I believe it's really important to teach with the students goals in mind and so to begin with, I would have a conversation about where they are with their playing currently, where they want to be and what they want to primarily focus on. This is so that we both get the most out of lesson time!

I look forward to meeting you and playing some awesome music!

For beginners wanting to delve into music theory to amateurs preparing for exams, this class will be suitable whatever standard you are. Through the forms of visual, practice and reading, you can learn the very basics of music theory and build upon your knowledge. This class can guide students currently preparing for ABRSM Grade 5 or 8 and will prepare you to take the exam.

This class will cover the basics of reading and understanding sheet music, scales, modes, key signatures, learning intervals, chord symbols, progressions and many more!
