Information About Paul - Norwich teacher -

(8 reviews)

Personal Description:

My musical career has been long and varied and includes training in classical music during my school years and passing grade 8 violin (merit) at age 18. Since then my interest has turned largely to folk music and especially to the Celtic tradition. Over the last 25 years I have played in many bands (at least 10) and have run folk music tutorials and courses at festivals and in Norwich as well as giving priva**Contact Detail Removed**ssons. Probably my best known band was Mooncoin, who no longer exist, but who became quite successful at a local level, in the Norfolk area in the early 2000s. Now I play in many sessions (Celtic folk get-togethers) and am running a Celtic music course in Norwich.

Tutoring Experience:

I have taught privately for several years in Norwich, both in person and online, and I run tutorials and courses on Celtic music and also a folk music ensemble (Norwich Folk Ensemble), which is proving to be very successful.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach is quite informal without any exams (unless requested). I want to inspire my pupils to really enjoy the music, as I do, and I'll focus on getting a great feel for the music as well as the techniques required to play. Support in the form of video/audio tutorials is also offered. Theory of music, especially how it applies to 'folk' music can also be looked at if the tutee would find it useful. Online lessons available.
