Personal Description:
I am a postgraduate tutor teaching guitar, piano, violin/fiddle, kids rap vocals and junior drum kit teacher, based in Chobham. I teach popular styles-blues, rock, folk, jazz, rap, classical, and music theory-popular, jazz and classical. Pupils of all ages are welcome. I have played in many varied ensembles and bands and currently rap and produce music.
Tutoring Experience:
I founded 'Acornbutter Music' in 2009 and since then have taught a wide range of pupils from aged 3 upwards. I have worked with 'special needs' students in a Camphill Rudolf Steiner school and privately. I teach left handed if required. I am qualified in childcare and have some special needs training. I completed a music degree, education pathway, followed by an M.A. in Popular Music, at Kingston University. I teach face to face and online using Zoom free software.
Tutoring Approach:
I have a holistic approach, am flexible and can help you with pieces of your choice, working at your own pace. I can help with theory or exams. I ensure that my pupils are well prepared for all aspects of their exams if they choose to take them, and I also endeavour to help my pupils with good posture and technique which is a pre-requisite for success.
I maintain a strong dialogue with parents regarding their children's h/w, aims and achievements.
Lessons are available at a cheaper rate for 3/4 hr and 1/2 hr for younger pupils [£33.00 and £23]. I offer a concessionary rate [unemployed or low waged/student/OAP/home ed] on application. Pricing is based on M.U. rates.
I teach some students online, but the majority come to my home in Chobham. Online students are also eligible for a concessionary rate on request.
Students and their parents can access short sound healing treatments using tuning forks for example for focus or relaxation during lesson time, and can also book longer treatments including sonic acupuncture for most issues.

What I appreciated about Marion is that firstly she is very warm, supportive teacher and wants the best for the pupil. In my case we were not sure about whether I should aim for grade 3 or 4 and I liked the way Marion discussed this and was so affirming.
Looking forward to my next lesson.
