Information About Joshua - Glasgow teacher

Personal Description:

I am a graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with a Bachelor of Music (First Class Honours) in Keyboard Performance.

Prior to studying at the RCS I graduated with a Diploma in Piano Performance at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore.

I have experience playing both pitched and unpitched percussion instruments in an ensemble, which is advantageous for instilling a strong sense of rhythm and pulse for beginners.

I am also an experienced accompanist and have accompanied many instrumental exams.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been playing the piano for about 20 years and have three years of teaching experience. I am comfortable teaching both classical and pop piano, and have experience teaching students of ages from 4 to 60.

I am flexible in teaching any songs/music - be it film, instrumental or pop.
I do arrange music, composing/writing and improvising as well.
Do let me know if you are interested in learning that too.

Tutoring Approach:

My main focus is to help my students discover their passion and joy in music making. I am flexible in my teaching, and leave it to my students to choose if they would prefer following ABRSM or Trinity Syllabi, or learning just for fun! I usually split my lessons into practical and theory if you would love to learn both at the same time.

For beginners, I sometimes follow the syllabus of several beginner books such as Alfred’s, A Dozen A Day, and books written by Ying Ying Ng and Lina Ng. However, I often use my own method of beginners to build their finger techniques without the use of these books.

For slightly more advanced students we could possibly look at developing further technique with my own finger exercises, Hanon and Czerny studies. I also give advanced finger techniques that I’ve created for them to improve on it.
