Information About Robin - Banchory teacher

Personal Description:

Robin MMus, BMus (Hons.), ATCL (Teaching Dip,) teaches Singing, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums and Composition to all levels. With teaching experience dating from 1993, Robin has a wealth of experience in helping Students of all styles and ability levels.

My earliest memories were sitting in my Grandfather's house, playing with the instruments he had brought from his travels: Sitars, Bugels and Drums of all varieties. I decided that an single instrument would not support me financially, so - aged eight - I set out to to be a multi-instrumentalist. I worked hard and learned my craft. I went on to own a multi=purpose teaching facility with tutors employed to assist me in my teaching.

Upon moving into the marital home, we decided to focus the tuition at home and online and that is where I now teach.

Tutoring Experience:

I began teaching group lessons in school. After leaving school, I began training for the classroom, but I did not feel I could impact the individual in such a large group environment. While maintaining strong links with school curriculum, I began to pursue my career in individual instruction. My home based tuition serves approximately sixty five pupils at a time and my online lessons support many more, depending on the time zone. I have taught students in Australia, the Middle East and a variety of locations around the British Isles. With such a large cohort of students I offer a variety of syllabuses and qualifications. These are embarked upon at the student's request - rather than the student feeling pushed. This makes for happier and more successful students.

Tutoring Approach:

I started teaching in 1993 and have been offering a pupil centred approach to happy and successful students ever since. I teach classically, although not necessarily Classical: if you like Mozart, then great! We'll do that. If not, we'll explore your musical tastes and learn more about that, all underpinned by high quality musicianship.

I have a Teaching Diploma which guides my principles and practise in teaching, a BMus which covers general history and performance - I have also have performing experience with a high point of 144 concerts in 2007. My MMus underpins analysis.
