I specialize in teaching teenagers and adults high-quality private instrumental music and music theory lessons in the Essex / East London areas. - It's never too late to learn/relearn an instrument! - I am a member of the Musicians' Union and the Incorporated Society of Musicians and am qualified to teach classical /jazz/folk PIANO, VIOLIN and DOUBLE BASS plus exam grades (once the student is fully prepared), to both BEGINNERS or ADVANCED students. - I believe in teaching a lifelong LOVE of music, and that learning and playing should be about ENJOYMENT, SELF-EXPRESSION, TRANSFORMATION, CURIOSITY, and DEVELOPING INDEPENDENCE AS A MUSICIAN. - I create lesson plans, worksheets and original compositions tailored to the unique skills and abilities of the student. - I incorporate new techniques, research, and technologies into my teaching. - I encourage students to become WELL ROUNDED MUSICIANS from the perspective of a multi-instrumentalist (including correct posture, listening, reading, relearning an instrument, composition, improvisation, performance, and the healing aspects of music).
