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.
Enhanced DBS available.

French concert pianist, graduate from Royal College of Music of London.

I have multiple recordings on streaming platforms, now totalling more than 20 000 streams.

I've always loved sharing my knowledge and experience, as much as sharing my music on stage with the audience.

I am very careful of always put the student's wishes and thoughts in priority, while finding the right balance between work and enjoyment.

Even though I focus on performing, I have been teaching privately for 8 years now, as I always had a passion of teaching and sharing my passion and everything I've learned with Piano Masters for 20+ Years !

I am very patient, comprehensive, I always try my best to adapt find the right approach and technical tools to help the student in the best way possible.
I take extra care in making sure the musician likes what he is playing, wants to work on it, really understand his strong and weak points, his objectives, and organise my work around it.

I'm also really open in alternative repertoire, and non-conventional pieces, because I'm convinced that you can make a lot of progress working on any type of music, not just the exam or "traditional" classical repertoire.

If you have a music in mind that you dream of playing, don't hesitate to let me know and I will find a score suitable for your abilities, or if it doesn't exist, I will create one !

I'm looking forward to help you achieve your goals and make good music together !

I am an experienced guitar tutor teaching lessons face-to-face and online. I also cater to groups. I have been a musician for over 20 years and have been teaching guitar for over 10 years, giving me a vast range of knowledge, teaching methodologies, and learning resources.

This class is specific to children as it fosters a love of music and music creation via easy-to-learn and play tunes, notation reading and developing ear skills. Learning music and guitar at a young age is a wonderful way to learn a new skill which boosts confidence, teaches effort and rewards relationships, creates discipline, and helps children take pride in their achievements and performances.

We will learn the fundamentals of playing the guitar, focusing on developing good techniques across both the left and right hand enabling faster growth and easier self-directed study. We will learn a selection of short tunes/melodies, chords and some sight reading. Grades are an option for those interested but my main aim is to bring the joy of guitar to the lessons! Below are a number of recent testimonials from my young students:

"Ricardo has been teaching my son electric guitar for just over a year. Ricardo has not only taught my son how to play but has been an inspiring figure who has given my son a lot of confidence in himself too. The lessons are tailored to suit the child brilliantly and Ricardo has selected songs that my son wants to learn therefore keeping him very engaged and making learning the guitar so much fun! Ricardo is very encouraging and has an enthusiastic and passionate approach for music & teaching. I would highly recommend Ricardo as a great guitar teacher to anyone looking to start playing." Bryony, mother of Stan.

"He’s a very nice and funny teacher and he helps me when I struggle. He makes the lessons fun and will always help you learn a song that you want to be able to play. I always look forward to seeing him." Luisa, aged 12.

Learn from a pro who's played Wembley Stadium, toured Europe, and worked with West End stars!

I'm Chris - a London-based multi-instrumentalist with years of real-world experience as a performer, musical director, and bandleader. Since 2015, I’ve taught over 100 students - from 6-year-old beginners to seasoned musicians - helping them grow their skills, boost their confidence, and connect more deeply with the music they love.

I’ve played bass for 80s legends Talk Talk, bass and keyboards for renowned tribute band Guns 2 Roses on national and European tours, been a musical supervisor and musical director for national theatre productions, and shared stages with cast members from Les Misérables, Book of Mormon, Dear Evan Hansen, Mamma Mia, and more. I've performed everywhere from intimate acoustic venues to the Royal Festival Hall and even Wembley Stadium.

My teaching style is practical, flexible, and student-led. I teach both online and in person from my West London studio, working with people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking to jam with friends, write your own music, get ready for a recording session, or just play for your own enjoyment, I’ll help you build the skills you need, and enjoy the process as much as the result.

I currently offer lessons in:
🎹 Piano and keyboards
🎸 Acoustic and electric guitar
🎸 Bass guitar
📖 Music theory (from the basics to advanced harmony and analysis)
🎓 Support for GCSE and A-Level music students

I believe lessons should feel creative, inspiring, and genuinely useful - not just a box to tick. I bring patience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of both music and musicians to every session, helping students unlock their potential on their own terms.

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.
