Personal Description:

PLEASE NO**Contact Detail Removed**SSONS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE ONLINE AS REAL TIME VIDEO CALLS AT THE SAME RATES LISTED. PLEASE APPLY FOR DETAILS.

I relocated back to London from NZ in May 2008 and have been teaching students of all ages for local authorities and privately for many years (both in London and NZ). I have now moved my studio to Hadleigh, Benfleet, Essex.
Guitar is my main instrument, although I also teach Bass, Piano, Blues Harmonica, Voice, Drums and Songwriting/composition (more details on attached CV).
I graduated in 2012 with a First in Music Composition BA Hons from Middlesex University. This gave me a much deeper understanding of the evolution, function and composition of music (including recent innovations in technology) that has been useful to draw upon as a teacher.
I have an eclectic cohort of students aged 7 - 57 covering Rockschool syllabus, song based study through to ABRSM and Suzuki Classical repertoire.

Tutoring Experience:

Since 1978, I've played in various bands, including; Marc Almond, The Cleaners from Venus, Seventh Séance and Voice of America touring UK and Europe, managed multimedia productions, a pub theatre, an independent record label/publishing company and various festivals/benefit concerts.
Throughout this time I have taught Guitar, Bass, Drums, Harmonica, Piano and Vocals (to private students and larger groups/classes as a local authority tutor) as well as producing and recording many projects on studio and more recently, digital home recording equipment.

Tutoring Approach:

Classically trained on the violin up to Grade 7 and Music theory Grade 6, in 1978 I began playing Bass and guitar in local bands, writing and composing original songs.
My approach to tuition has largely been based around Blues/Rock improvisation, Rockschool & ABRSM Classical syllabi with a solid theory foundation, although my piano teaching is more closely allied to the Classical Suzuki & ABRSM methods.
I also encourage students to take part in our regular group workshops & student concerts.
Graduating in 2012 with a First Class Honours degree in Music Composition (BA Hons), at Middlesex University, I now have a much greater depth of understanding of the history of music and recent recording and notation software innovations.
