Information About Arthur - Leeds teacher

Personal Description:

I'm passionate and practically minded, focusing on how to give people the knowledge and ability they need to play the music they enjoy. I'm not classically trained and have mostly picked up knowledge through listening to other musicians and constantly researching and involving myself with music wherever I can.

Tutoring Experience:

In my career, I have played for drag queens, performing lady gaga and David Bowie; in theatre shows, soloing over Grease and improvising in Curtains; and taught for a fantastic year with the music society at The University of York.

I'm a grade 8 guitarist, having performed in folk bands, Hard rock groups, jazz and blues bands, I have a wide knowledge of genre and theory, able to apply my experience to a range of different situations. I have a great love and passion for music composition and, with past students, have gone through numerous composition exercises, encouraging people's creativity to shine.

Tutoring Approach:

What kind of a musician do you want to be? This question is at the core of my teaching style, with a focus on what you personally love about music and what you want to achieve in your own journey. Learning a practical and technical attitude to your instrument through the music and artists you admire will build a passion and interest that should last the duration of our time together. My students are engaged and personally catered to, with their own musical tastes and passions explored. I believe strongly that the best way to improve on any instrument, is to be able to play the music that you love.
