Personal Description:

I have been working as a professional gigging musician for over a decade. My interests lie primarily in pop and rock music but I am also well equipped to teach in a classical style. I adapt my lessons to each pupil, preferring a combination of reading sheet music, chord charts and working by ear. I incorporate music theory into all my lessons but I make it fun and practical. Overall, I believe enjoying playing is the most important thing.

Tutoring Experience:

I have many years of experience as a private music tutor. I have previously taught in community centres and arts centres but I'm currently offering lessons from my home studio in Govan, very close to the subway. I enjoy teaching people of all ages from young kids to retired people, and all abilities. Inclusivity and accessibility are important to me, and I'm always happy to adapt to meet individuals' specific needs. During lockdown, I became accustomed to providing online tuition, which I continue to offer.

Tutoring Approach:

I'm open and adaptable to help you in whatever area or style you are most interested in. If you bring along songs that you want to work on, I'll be more than happy to help you with them. At the same time I have endless material to choose from and recommend. Especially with younger people, I use games to develop skills in sight-reading, clapping rhythms and listening (recognising chords and intervals etc). I often work through the syllabus of Rock School and/or Trinity College, but this is totally optional. I offer lessons either on a one-to-one basis or in small groups (ie for siblings etc).
