Information About Rob - Barnsbury teacher

Personal Description:

I'm a performing concert pianist, having performed around the world - at the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Recital Centre, CBSO Centre, Aldeburgh Festival and much more! I also record frequently - most recently my LP for Divine Art Records was released. I studied at the Royal College of Music (London) as a double major in piano and composition, where I graduated with first-class honours. While I was a student there, I also won the Contemporary Music prize for both piano performance and composition - although I play a wide range of traditional repertoire too. I currently work at the Royal College of Music as a collaborative pianist and teach with their Teaching Service.

I'm currently working on several commissions and also perform as a concertising and recording pianist and artist. My most recent album was released on Divine Art Recordings.

Alongside, my performance and composition work, I teach students in various styles, and of all ages and abilities!

Tutoring Experience:

*10 years short and long term piano teaching/coaching/composition
*8 years theory tutoring
Familiarity with most exam systems/syllabuses

Tutoring Approach:

I'm a patient but enthusiastic teacher of all levels and ages, with years of experience in composition, piano and theory teaching. I aim to provide advice and guidance based on your musical goals and styles.

I like to get to know each of my students individually and personally so that I can support them to the best of their abilities. I hope to give each student the skills and techniques for further individual learning regardless of whether they have one lesson, or learn for years.
