Personal Description:
A private tutor with nearing 10 years experience; I am a graduate of King's College Cambridge, where I studied Music and was a choral scholar in the world-famous King's College Choir, the Royal College of Music, where I was a postgraduate scholar, and the National Opera Studio.
I have a love of Classical Music of all periods, am also a professional opera singer and have worked at The Royal Opera House, Welsh National Opera, Opera Holland Park, Garsington Opera, and English National Opera.
I am passionate about teaching music to the highest standard and inspiring the next generation of musicians.
Tutoring Experience:
I have over 10 years of experience tutoring Music of all levels from beginner to degree, Music Theory up to Grade 8, Maths and Latin to GCSE, 11+ Entrance exams, and Oxbridge admissions.
I specialise in preparation for the written, listening, and composition elements of both the A-Level and Music GCSE papers, for exam boards including Edexcel, AQA, OCR, Eduqas, iGCSE, and preparation for practical exams ABRSM up to grade 8 in theory and aural/sightreading.
During the pandemic, I moved some of my students to online tuition (Zoom), gaining hundreds of hours of online experience in addition to my normal in person work.
Tutoring Approach:
I aim to create a comfortable and supportive environment for the student to learn in. In theory and Academic Music tuition I encоurаge verbаl аnd written debаte аnd use regulаr inquisitiоn tо аssess а student`s understаnding. I believe it is impоrtаnt tо cultivаte а relаxed аnd cоnversаtiоnаl envirоnment tо put students аt eаse.
My approach to Singing tuition is two-fold. It is firstly based around the formation of a technique that enables fluid and flexible singing. This is achieved through the use of vocal exercises and discussion about the correct approach to singing - posture, breathing, use of the imagination.
The application of these exercises and thought processes though repertoire forms the second side of my approach. This both makes the repertoire much easier to sing and places the exercises in context, highlighting their importance and the impact they have on singing.
