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 450 students for exams mostly for Trinity College and many of them have attained a merit or distinction. However most of my students prefer to learn music without taking exams.
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.
