Personal Description:

I play regularly - I am principal sax with an award winning concert band, I play in a quartet which has regular engagements such as the annual Mayormaking ceremony, and I also play solo gigs with backing tracks. I enjoy playing a variety of musical styles, and this is reflected in the material I use for teaching.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been a successful private teacher since 2000. I teach pupils who wish to play for fun, some with problems- such as a child with asperger's, or those who wish to take exams (ABRSM only). I teach theory as well, for those studying for Associated Board. A number of my pupils have taken GSCE and A/S level music and I have helped them prepare for the practical element of the exam. Age is not an issue - I am happy to teach adults as well as children.

Tutoring Approach:

Teaching should always be tailored to the needs of the individual. Everyone progresses at a different rate and people understand things in different ways. The ultimate goal has to be producing a beautiful sound that people want to listen to, but making music should always be fun; scales are important but mastering a piece gives a greater sense of satisfaction!

From Pat (5/5): Erica is warm and encouraging, clear and knowledgeable. She is also flexible

From Peter (5/5):

From Graham (5/5): Erica has a wonderful way of teaching and an amazing level of patience. I feel like ive learned a lot more than I expected in a few weeks.

From Kike (5/5): Erica has been simply fantastic with my 11yr old - first timer to any sort of music tutoring. He is also on the Autistic Spectrum. I actively sought out an instrucutor who had experience with persons with ASD and was willing to give them a chance to learn as we had not been successful with securing sax lessons (due to the ASD diagnosis). It is a huge relief to see Erica is inclusive, kind and experienced and I can see how this is motivating my son whom she has commended on his ease of understanding and remembering whats been taught to him so far. I couldnt recommend Erica more.

From Paul (5/5): Very patient very easy to talk to and she takes her time to explain things as I am a complete novice Paul

From Jack (5/5): I'm very happy with the progress I am making under Erica despite not being a natural when it comes to music. I've already received some invaluable advice which you could only get on a one to one basis with an expert Hopefully, with Erica's help and my practice, I will reach a standard in the not too distant future when I can play some ok sax in public. I will be buying my own saxophone very soon. Jack.

From Sheryl (5/5): Erica is very professional. Puts you at ease and gives you confidence. Would recommend.

From Martin (5/5): She's been very helpful and patient to an 'old beginner' and I've thoroughly enjoyed my lessons. Looking forward to many more!

From Natalie (5/5): Erica is very friendly and she put my seven year old daughter at ease straight away. My daughter looks forward to her flute lessons every week.

From Brian (5/5): Excellent teacher, goes at your pace. Makes you feel calm. Would recommend

From Avi (5/5): I have enjoyed my lessons with Erica. She is constructive and good and pointing out ways for me to improve, and makes the extra effort to give me work that I will enjoy. She can teach an old dog new tricks!
