Personal Description:

I am full-time musician pursuing a solo music and band work career with a passion for sharing my knowledge with others! With my recent single reaching over 170k streams on Spotify and both my band and solo work paired with music labels, I can offer a fresh and individual approach to teaching.

I been teaching piano, drums and composition for the last 5 years as a peripatetic teacher as well as teaching music to GCSE students at St Mark's Academy. Currently, I decided to teach privately as I prefer taking on a wider range of ages and having long-term goals that we can set together.

By being a professional musician as well as a tutor, I can offer students a versatile range of skills which they normally could not find. I teach students the in’s and out’s of live performance, composition and improvisation as well as more classic, orthodox piano and drum tuition which includes grades and music theory. I enjoy the challenge developing a unique teaching plan for every student to cater for their individual needs.

Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions!

Many thanks,
Jake

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching both piano and drums for 5 years, both privately and at a secondary school. I have taught students aged 5 - 78 and have an in-depth knowledge of how to cater for different students.

I am currently being taught by Gabor Dornyei, one of the leading drummers in the world, and would love to pass on any advice I can give to my students!

As well as this, I have completed and passed Music A level and grade 5 theory (Merit). I play both Piano and Drums above Grade 8 standard and I am DBS checked.

Tutoring Approach:

I try to help my students learn in whatever way they find most enjoyable and productive. I try to determine how a student best learns, then follow this path to help them reach their goals.

I am happy to work through grades with students, however, I do not force this upon them. I am also happy to teach them without grades with a focus on what they want to learn. and what they find most enjoyable. Through teaching in this way, I make sure each of my students progresses in what they are most interested in, whilst having as much fun as possible!
