Personal Description:

Experienced and enthusiastic teacher of clarinet and saxophone based in Sydenham, South London. I offer lessons to students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to more experienced players wishing to improve their technique. I teach both children and adults, and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

Adult returners/beginners are particularly welcome - perhaps you're taking up music in later life or returning to your instrument after a long break. Either way, I'd be delighted to help.

Tutoring Experience:

I have several years' experience teaching both children and adults across London, from complete beginners to more advanced students. Experience preparing students for ABRSM graded examinations with a 100% pass rate - all my students who entered ABRSM exams last year passed with either merit or distinction.

I also have 30+ years' playing experience to ABRSM Grade 8 standard and a wealth of ensemble experience including Symphonic winds: (Solo Clarinet/1st Clarinet/Alto Clarinet/Bass Clarinet), Jazz Orchestra: (Clarinet/Alto Sax), Quartet: (Alto/Soprano Sax), with significant performance experience across London.

Tutoring Approach:

My lessons are tailored for the individual so they can reach whatever musical goals they have. That might be the more formal route through graded exams or simply playing for fun – or maybe a bit of both! I prepare students for ABRSM exams if required, but there's no pressure to take exams if you don't want to.

All ages and levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced. Please note though, young children should preferably have their adult front teeth before beginning!
