Currently I can offer tuition in piano, electric guitar, bass guitar, drum kit and West African percussion. I am able to tutor through ABRSM, Trinity Rock and Pop and Rockschool grade examinations and have a 100% success rate - but equally, you are welcome to learn to play 'just for fun'!
I have built an extensive collection of method books, songbooks and scores to introduce you to both new styles and old favourites, and as I have access to musical notation software, I can create bespoke worksheets for a student during their lesson. I also frequently record (or encourage the student to record) short video clips during the lesson on a mobile device in order to help with home practice.
I also run group music theory sessions and tutor through GCSE and A Level Music qualifications or can tutor for music theory on an individual basis.
Private 30 minute lesson: £16
Private 60 minute lesson: £30
Group music theory session: £15 (maximum of 4 attending, minimum 2)
