Information About Jack - Holland Park teacher

Personal Description:

Graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with a Master's in Performance, Jack has performed both at home and internationally. As a performer, he has premiered a number of works by Armenian composers, and centres his performance practice around a holistic, cross-disciplinary ethos.

In addition to performing, Jack is a passionate teacher, working with the award-winning Tri-Borough Music Hub in London, as well as Wandsworth Music, where he delivers a mixture of woodwind whole-class, small-group and individual lessons. Through these music services, Jack makes use of the professional development opportunities available to further broaden his teaching skills.

Tutoring Experience:

Jack started working with two London music services at the start of 2024, and has had a successful and rewarding year of teaching. He looks forwards to return to more students in September.

Besides this work, Jack teaches privately and has a variety of students who range from children going through their grades, to adults returning to an earlier love of music as well as students who despite their disabilities are determined to play an instrument.

Tutoring Approach:

Music is about having fun, and sharing that fun with others when you play. It is so much more than just playing the notes in front of you - it is a curiosity to your approach in facing challenges, trusting in your abilities and being confident in how you express yourself. Music must be accessible to all because I truly believe that what we learn about ourselves through music makes us a more balanced and comfortable human, well-equipped to address challenges beyond a tricky piece.
