Casual Tuba Teachers and Casual Tuba Lessons

highest levels, taking places in National Youth Orchestra and the UK music colleges. I have successfully entered candidates for all levels of Associated Board music exams. My teaching involves every aspect of the development of musical awareness. From the first lesson we involve aural skills, improvising, and technique. I use a lot of jazz in my lessons, both to develop awareness of harmony and melody and because my students love it! I will prepare students...

empathy are key for me. No two students are the same, so the teaching approach must be tailored for each student. Building a strong bond of trust is essential. Setting markers and targets (small medium and long term) are used to gage progress. I like to open up all elements of music to my students (theory, history etc) while teaching so they understand where the music comes from and how it should be played. I...

pupils have gone on to music colleges, universities and specialist music schools. I have considerable experience with beginners and younger students, but I have also taught adults successfully. I am a very experienced examiner for a leading instrumental examination board and also examine academic music for both Edexcel and the International Baccalaureate. My teaching is underpinned by a rigorous understanding of both musical and technical principles and while I encourage my students to aim high,...

and very much enjoy it. My teaching is thorough and concise, ensuring that my students progress at a good rate whilst building solid foundations. However, I believe it equally important that my students enjoy their lessons as well; playing an instrument can be great fun and it always should be great fun! I endeavour to ensure that all my students enjoy their lessons whilst being motivated at being able to see their own progress. If...

first and most important thing is the music itself and producing a great sound. I believe that it is important for a student to build self confidence and belief in what they can do, and enjoy the sound that they make. This will enable a student to produce their best results with a good and clear understanding of how to replicate what is covered in lessons. I use a practice diary with all students as...

music school Douglas Academy in Glasgow. I also teach individual pupils privately of all ages, from 4 to 80 years of age at the moment. I am a tutor for WOSIS and NYWES, two of the leading youth wind ensembles in the country. My main focus as a tutor has always been to make sure my pupils enjoy their music making as much as I do whilst progressing as quickly as possible. I'm happy to...

young ensembles and train the brass sections of the older groups. I have taught independant lessons in Manchester for the last 4 years. Again, I have taught everyone from 11 upwards on a wide range of brass instruments as well as piano, composition and conducting I will adapt my teaching style for different ages, however, I am consistently enthusiastic and encouraging while driving you to be your best. We can learn at any pace you...

exams. I teach both adults and children and am happy to arrange a free trial lesson. I work with pupils and parents to plan lessons to help each pupil achieve their specific goals. Lessons can be either at the pupil's home or at my house in Harpenden. To plan a lesson effectively for each student, I use a base model built around teaching scales, studies and pieces The order of these can be changed according...

Weekly lessons review the progress since the previous lesson, and introduce new techniques for rehearsal prior to the next lesson. Pupils are encouraged to use lesson time for rehearsal advice on specific pieces for performance - whether solo or band/orchestral. Progress can be as fast or as slow as...
