Personal Description:
Natural musician and multi-instrumentalist. Involved with music from a very early age. Guitar, piano and drums are key strengths, but saxophone and violin can also be taught to beginners if necessary.
Intellectual, highly professional and motivational.
Tutoring Experience:
Aside from all things SATs, I am very fortunate to be a natural musician who plays the guitar, piano and drums by ear, but I also have a good grounding in reading music / music theory, and am able to teach this as such. I only need to hear a tune (more or less any tune) once or twice in order to be able to play the chords or melody on guitar, drums or piano.
I am also a more-or-less fluent speaker of the French language and would be more than happy to teach this to KS2 pupils, possibly even early KS3 if such learners are able to convey their requirements to me.
I look forward to our partnership and now await any questions you may have.
Tutoring Approach:
I have played piano, saxophone, drums and percussion, recorder, ukulele, violin and guitar.
Main instruments are piano, drums and guitar in terms of particular strengths.
I believe the key to my approach involves much patience and a genuine belief in the learner, making he/she recognise that the sky is the limit if motivation, enthusiasm and drive are assets that he/she already possesses. I'm also passionate about the theoretical side of music and linking musical devices / terminology to aspects of music history where relevant.
They say, 'practice makes perfect' - and whilst I strongly believe in this, there are so many other elements and characteristics as to what makes a good musician, and I will aim to elicit these in any learner under my guidance.

P.
I feel you certainly progressed from the outset.
In the past we have enrolled our child into numerous extra curricular activities, from gymnastics to boxing, swimming, musical and much more. Pierre is the only tuition our son enjoys and chooses to go to. He adapts is tution to suit the child, he is very patient and works to fit with your child and teach in a way that they can engage with the lesson, not only to learn the skills but also to enjoy the tution. I am taking the time to write this review, as I am genuinely so happy with the work he has done with our child but also for making it an enjoyable experience for our child. It can sometimes be very hard to make tution/ lessons fun for children, but Pierre seems to do this for our child.
Most defiantly worth the great price!, our child comes away with two new sets of skills, music and french.
Pierre
There have been some hurdles to get over, but with continuous communication he has devised a different style of teaching to accommodate each child.
