Music Theory and GCSE/ AS/ A-Level tutoring: beginners to advanced (ABRSM / jazz modes / improvising/ songwriting)
Hello!
Music theory is a fun and awe-inspiring thing if you know how to look at it. I'm Katie, a professional multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer and educator with a big desire to support my students to ignite their own passion for music.
As a teacher I have 12 years' experience creatively inspiring young people and adults in 1:1 lessons, leading choirs, directing music for youth theatre companies and in a charity providing music to vulnerable teenagers. I'm a trauma informed practitioner and work directly with the amazing potential of music to translate feelings into sound. Understanding music theory is a liberating tool for doing just this - and I seek to find what lights up my students and make the learning fascinating and fun, tailored to how they learn best.
As a musician I've played for 23 years, I achieved my grade 5 theory and grade 5 cello exams aged 11, I've have had my original compositions played on Jazz FM and BBC 6 Music, achieved a 1st at Durham University studying music, grade 6 piano as a teenager and grade 8 distinction in flute, as well as becoming fluent on electric bass, ukulele and voice.
I'd love to support you or your child in enhancing your understanding and confidence in music theory. I am available for supporting students through theory exams, with GCSE or A-Level music, to become a better improviser, to learn how to paint soundscapes using music and compose, and how to use music as meditation for enhanced wellbeing.
It'd be a pleasure to chat to you and support you on your musical journey! Please feel free to reach out :).
Looking forward to hearing from you.

About Me
Hello :) I'm Katie, a 29-year-old professional musician with over 12 years' experience inspiring and teaching young people and adults music.I'm a multi-instrumentalist, singer and song-writer and have deep understandings of piano, cello, flute, ukulele, guitar, bass and composing. Genres I've worked with range from jazz, classical, flamenco, neo-soul, indie, folk, ambient and improvised. I've led award-winning choirs, written music for international directors and youth theatre companies and had my original work aired on BBC 6 Music and Jazz FM. And I love to ignite this passion in others!
Music and creativity is part of the unique joy of being human - it exists within all of us - and it is my calling to support people to find and discover this beautiful treasure of creative-expression that lies within all of us, as a means to get to know ourselves better and live a more fulfulling and enriched life.
I love to support my students with exactly what they are wanting to get out of music. Whether you are a complete beginner wanting to dip your toes into understanding how to make music for the first time, are needing some support with studies in school, college, or for an upcoming exam, or are more advanced and wanting support on flow state when improvising or writing music - I am here for you.
I've had a deep connection with music since the age of 6, and have developed this over time. I specialise in the flow state of improvising, and supporting you how to use different flavours of the scales and modes to paint the soundworlds you feel inside. Music is feeling, and I work with it at this pure level.
I am adept at helping solidify your understanding of music theory from new angles that allows you to feel confident in a fun and curious way.
I'd love to hear from you - please feel free to get in touch and we can discuss your needs :)

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

John
Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.
My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instil a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.
Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.
A bit about me:
Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music, while also working with British pop producers online and making content for a YouTube channel. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisationHey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
See you soon!
Richard
PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
