Personal Description:
I studied music and teaching on a combined 3 year course at Dartington College of Arts and Rolle Teacher Training College.
Tutoring Experience:
I have been a class teacher of music and other subjects and have also been a peripatetic instrumental teacher in state and private schools and I have taught adult students. I have also been performing for many years. I play the piano for a church in Chichester including some of my own compositions.
I have entered about 500 students for exams mostly for Trinity College and many of them have attained a merit or distinction. Some of my students have achieved scholarships to study music. However most of my students prefer to learn music without taking exams. Some of my students are now working in the recording industry and one is a member of a punk rock group that became famous in the 1970s.
Tutoring Approach:
I hope to make the lessons enjoyable and varied. I usually teach students to read music, but not always. My piano students usually play on my Kemble piano and I also have a Broadwood piano. Music theory can be included in the lesson time if requested.
I have soundproofing and a council planning permit to teach at my house.
I do have some spaces for new students and will reply to messages as soon as possible. The fees quoted are very reasonable and are only available for students who can attend lessons reliably at the times agreed. Otherwise a higher rate will apply.
I have not filled in my availability chart as my timetable is frequently being changed to suit my students' requirements.
