Personal Description:
I studied euphonium and trombone at Chethams and the Royal Northern College of music. I have performed with many of the top brass and wind bands in the country and have performed as a soloist in Italy, Holland and Switzerland. I teach any brass instrument from your first note to grade 8 and beyond.
Tutoring Experience:
I have been teaching for ten years in schools and privately. My students have a one hundred percent pass rate for ABRSM exams grades 1 to 8. I teach one to one, group lessons, full class music and instrumental sessions. I have been head of brass at a private music service in Warrington for two years. I am looking for some more private work as four of my former students are now at the Royal Northern College of music and Chethams.
Tutoring Approach:
Adaptability and empathy are key for me. No two students are the same, so the teaching approach must be tailored for each student. Building a strong bond of trust is essential. Setting markers and targets (small medium and long term) are used to guage progress. I like to open up all elements of music to my students (theory, history etc) while teaching so they understand where the music comes from and how it should be played. I am incredibly passionate about teaching and it is something I love to do.

PhilipFrom Luke (5/5): Phil has been fantastic in developing a tailored plan for me to make progress. I have started playing again after a 25 year break, and Phil has spent time with me discussing and planning where I would like to improve and has given me focus areas. I have started seeing improvement even after weeks, and I look forward to continuing with Phil.
Reply from: Philip: Thanks for the great feedback Luke.
From Nicholas (/5): All looks excellent so far after 3 lessons
Reply from: Philip: Thanks very much for the positive feedback Nick.
From Rachel (/5): My husband loved his first lesson, came home with a trumpet and has been practising every day!

Looking forward to the next lesson

From Bernie (/5): My child has now had 4 or 5 lessons with Phil and is growing with confidence through Phil’s tuition. Phil is punctual, reliable, personable and has quickly developed a good relationship with my 10y old. He is experienced and knowledgeable. I’m v happy with our choice of tutor.
Reply from: Philip: Thanks so much for your kind feedback.
From Sarah (/5): Very friendly and encouraging

From James (/5): Brilliant tutor - very engaging, well organised and thorough.
Reply from: Philip: Thanks for the lovely feedback James.
From Kyle (/5): I've started learning trumpet with Phillip as a beginner. He's been great, very clear and informative. I feel like I'm already learning a lot. I really look forward to continuing our lessons.
Reply from: Philip: Thanks for your kind feedback Kyle.
From Helen (/5): Philip is very thorough and clear. He takes time to explain everything explicitly. I'm starting at beginners level and he is very encouraging and positive. Highly recommended!
Reply from: Philip: Thanks for the lovely feedback Helen. See you next week.
From Fin (/5): Really well structured lessons with a fantastic balance of fun playing and theory work to ensure improvement.
Reply from: Philip: Thanks for the Feedback Fin. Much appreciated.
From Des (/5): So my son is 9 and trust me we have sampled each and every extra curricular activity on the planet and nothing has caught his attention. Guitar, drums, recorder (standard obviously) choir, judo, cross country, basketball (although to be fair he does love this) and now piano.
Phil has come into our home and completely captured our boy's attention. They chat. He listens. He makes piano fun and exciting introducing tunes our boy would know rather than straight into Rachmaninov!!! We don't have to cajole our son into practising. He's happy to sit down little and often and practice. Phil has been absolutely brilliant making his visits something our son looks forward to. To say he teaches well is an understatement. His flair and dare I say knack of dealing with our boy and at the same time teaching him is absolutely fabulous !!! Thank you Phil !

From David (/5): In the brief time that I have engaged Philip I have found him to be very professional, has a great depth of musical knowledge, a good communicator and very capable of demonstrating techniques on the euphonium. From day one he conveyed to me that he is well organised and possesses a very positive approach to teaching. He has that rare quality which inspires you to want to learn. He is a friendly approachable person who I have already recommended to two other friends who are learning to play brass instruments.
Reply from: Philip: Thanks David. It has been my pleasure. Looking forward to our next lesson.
