Casual Tuba Teachers and Casual Tuba Tutoring

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 guage 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...

massive amount to offer to any potential student. I am an enthusiastic, young teacher who has a lot of experience in performance and teaching. I am constantly developing new techniques and ways of teaching and offer unique coaching for each student, not just a one size fits all policy. I have had success in leading students to high grade exams, music scholarships and public concerts. I look forwards to hearing from any new students and...

believe basics are the key and certainly with beginners in brass I work on embrochure (buzzing), posture and breathing. I deal with problems as they come along as there usually is an exercise to rectify the problem. With piano I teach the basic exercises, tunes and can also help with theory. I prefer a low key approach and realise that especially with adults that they are learning for fun. I can teach towards ABRSM exams...

ensembles and train the brass sections of the older groups. I have taught independant lessons in London and Manchester for the last 6 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...

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...

A kinesthetic and enjoyable experience ensures the learner is engaged and making progress on their instrument. My lessons will give you have a all rounded Music Education; focusing on listening skills, Music appreciation, Music theory as...

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,...

Gillingham, Dorset. Coached a candidate for BBC Young Musician of the Year beyond Grade 8 in Clarinet. One to one tuition, tailored specifically to the pupil. 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...

with brass sections for the Queen's University Symphony Orchestra and a number of wind bands in southern Spain. I have worked with Renfrewshire Council, teaching children brass instruments and have taken many private students. I believe that music is a language and as a language, the best way to learn is by doing. I like to encourage as much playing as possible in lessons. I also think tone quality is highly important. Once you find...
