Personal Description:

I'm Sam , an enthusiastic and nurturing music teacher based in the Black Country area of the West Midlands. I provide high-quality tuition in electronic keyboard, pop vocals, musical theatre, and music theory.

I caught the music bug as a young child, joining my first school choir at the age of 8, and beginning keyboard lessons at 10. The bug stayed with me all through school and into university and by the time I graduated I'd performed in musicals, concerts, showcases and open mic nights. I wouldn't be where I am now without supportive music teachers showing me the way to success, and I'm here to do the same for you.

Sidenote: if you are neurodivergent and/or a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you are free to be yourself in our lessons.

Tutoring Experience:

Since beginning teaching in 2016, I have taught… • children as young as 5 and adults as old as 80… • at home, in primary and secondary schools, and SEND settings… • both solo and small group lessons, choirs, ensembles and community projects.

Once a student begins lessons with me, I always notice their confidence develop, not just in their music skills, but in themselves in general. Music is an incredible way to better yourself, and it really does pay off! Several of my students have performed in their first concerts and musicals, passed with flying colours in graded exams, progressed on TV talent shows, and recorded and released music on streaming services. Whether you want to hit the big time, or you just want to learn a new hobby, you can't go wrong with music lessons.

Keyboard or singing, I always give students the opportunity to learn a wide range of genres. To name a few… • Electronic pop (including house and garage)
• Hip-hop
• Rock
• R&B and soul (including gospel)
• Country
• Folk and acoustic
• Blues and jazz
• Caribbean (including reggae)
• Funk and disco
• Easy listening (including new age and ambient)
• Latin
• Musical theatre (including pieces from TV, films and games)

Tutoring Approach:

The biggest difference between me (a tutor) and a classroom teacher is that the size of my classes are so much smaller. I'm not trying to develop 30 different brains at the same time. Your lessons with me are exactly that - your lessons. They go however fast or slow you need them to. If you need more time to understand a particular topic or skill, then I'll make sure we give it more time.

There are also lots of different ways to learn things, so lessons with me will include a variety of activities aside from playing/singing, such as worksheets, using a computer or tablet, hands-on physical games, and of course, listening to music.
