Personal Description:
Hi, I am a fun loving teacher who has worked with Hampshire Music Services and Southampton Music Services over the past 21 years .
If you don't fancy exams I have a wide library of music that I can recommend so that you can progress without any pressure. The library ranges from the latest CD pop pieces to Classical Ensembles.
I also run MUSIC FUN FACTORY and have several "Elastic Bands" within this group -- so called because I will keep on stretching you. One of the groups is for beginners ( Adults and Children) where you can hire instruments for the session and can overtime learn to play film themes etc in a relaxed atmosphere learning basic notes to begin with. I also cater for learners up to Grade 8 + in different groups I run. It is £4 per session and £4 to hire. I also run a Grade 4 plus group and a Ukulele group.
Tutoring Experience:
I have 27 years experience teaching.
I started teaching in Devon 35 years ago in KEVICS, Totnes and Abbey School , Torquay… oh and at home privately, much to my Parents annoyance. In 1994 I got married and moved up to Hampshire where I joined Hampshire Music Services and as well as working at Thornden School I did much award teaching. I have worked in many schools in the area and have also worked for Southampton Music Service.
I have recently taken my Jazz Flute Exam Grade 8 and am in a sax group and a Jazz Improvising group… I am well qualified to teach Jazz Saxophone, Clarinet or Flute. I can also teach Classical to an Advanced standard because I have a wide range of orchestral experience varying from my own Flute Quintet to Solo Concertos with backing orchestra.
Having entered 1000s of pupils in the past 30 years I have only had 2 failures with the last five Grade 8 candidates before COVID , obtaining distinctions.
During lockdown I had to teach via the internet platforms eg zoom , Facetime etc I was very successful with this and entered 10 pupils for exams all of whom passed - 2 of which were Grade 8 flautists one of which passed with Distinction the other a Merit.
I also conduct Music Fun Factory, Hedge End iwhich encourages music playing for all ages in the Community ( Complete Beginner to Advanced).
Tutoring Approach:
Learning must never be a chore. It must always be approached in a methodical way to help progression but at that same time it must be FUN.
I tailor the lessons to suit the candidate because everyone learns in different ways and likes different types of music.
I can possibly travel for £18 per half hour to the Chandlers Ford area and I have a studio in Hedge End.

I tailor every lesson to suit the pupil. I can also be serious and can do the technical stuff that Music Colleges and wanna be professionals need…….but most people just want to learn and have fun !
Anita is friendly and cares about what she is teaching. Her demeanor leaves you feeling calm and confident to play.
In addition to the lessons Anita offers me (two so far) she has introduced me to Hazel at her local music shop at West End and two bands that she leads; and is already talking about me doing my grade exams and joining a more advanced band.
Way beyond my expectations!
Thank you.
Peter
Makes each session a fantastic and fun learning experience.
Look forward to each session.
