As a musician, I went from the bedroom to the big stage. I came to London with £90 in my pocket and within months had turned it into a £70,000 publishing advance and within 5 months I was signed to Sony for £250,000. I was touring with Eminem within a year and my story has become a best-selling book 'California Schemin' and an award-winning Documentary and will soon be a theatre play and motion picture. I came from nowhere and made it happen. I have unrivaled experience o the music business and teach artists how to make it and how to not get screwed by the music industry.

From creating a brand, developing your music/production/songwriting, to brand building and clever marketing techniques to guarantee you get where you are going without losing your rights. The music industry is a tough place and 99% of all artists never see the light of day. For 16 years I've made a living from my art, multiple revenue streams that have allowed me to break free from the normal rat race of working jobs you hate when you are born creative.

I help break artists, writers, musicians free from the catch 22 life of never having time to develop their music into mind-blowing art that the world can fall in love with. The business is set up to trip artists up, I'm here to make sure artists love the art and teach them ways to get around the traps of the music business.

Über mich
I have been teaching and mentoring youths from all over the world through online courses and 1 to 1 tutoring for over 10 years and I have seen incredible results. From helping a young lad with learning difficulties to release his first comic book to helping a teacher suffering from depression to write and release their first novel. A big part of my work is showing my students in real time action that they can do anything. When they realise this, there is nothing better.

I have had a much publicized and epic career that stands as an example that anyone of any age can achieve whatever they set their minds to. I have overcome much adversity to achieve all of my dreams. Depsite being laughed at, beaten and crippled by circumstance I have taken ideas from the bedroom to big stage, from dream to the big screen and I now dedicate my life to helping others unearth the confidence they require to achieve their goals.

I was an average student at school but bullying and lacklustre teaching severely ruined my high school experience and yet I went on to become a best selling author before 30. I believe that for skills to be learned the experience of learning them has to be enjoyable, not boring and not so complicated the concepts don't stick. I feel that school is losing an inevitable battle against technology and yet they don't upgrade the curriculum or speak a modern language that captivates the students attention. That's where I come in. My confidence classes are a far better way to improve grades because with confidence you want to learn you want to improve but not if the material in front of you is boring and out of date.

I don't believe in teaching anything that is a waste of time. I only teach what absolutely works with honesty because I want my students to get good fast so that they can feel good and have fun with it, that's when they start soaring and that's when we commonly see that the rest of their grades soar too, because they now have something that makes them feel that they are great. My students get better because I believe in them and by achieving each stage of my courses they grow in confidence and believe in themselves.

I believe that when a young person masters a unique skill it changes them forever. It is quite beautiful to witness the kids I have taught who have come from nothing and been doubted only to become incredible at one of the hardest skills in the world to perfect. At that point they can do anything. Writing a book isn't as big a task when you spend all your down time having fun with words.

Most youths don't know how to express themselves and get distracted by negative things in times of boredom. To be able to perfectly express how you feel inside and ask the right questions of yourself in order to write them down. These are incredible qualities to gain and they are sorely lacking in schools.

In my lessons there are no sums or tricks to confuse you the student or make them feel dumb. I talk clear and straight and in their language. There are mostly fun learn as you go rap exercises and games that you will want to play every spare moment you have.

I am very honest with my students and install in them integrity and humility. My classes are aimed at helping my students grow in confidence, discover their voice and develop the tools to express themselves. I teach life lessons inside my classes, giving real life examples of how ego only ruins hard work but how passion, drive and simply doing what you love can take you as far as you want.

I come from a family of strong woman and believe in equal rights for everyone. I treat every student as I wished I was treated at school, with respect and care. I leave all my students with the knowledge that It doesn't matter who you are or where you are from, if you believe in yourself nothing can stop you.

I Specialize in teaching young people to Rap. From beginner levels all the way through to having a successful music career. My name is Gavin and I'm a successful rapper, producer and bestselling author. Some may think that Rap is about ego but in reality, rap is about finding your true identity through your voice. The process of learning a skill that has been officially categorized by ‘John Hopkins University’ as the second most creative thing your brain can do other than fly a jet plane, builds humility and character.

Rap saved my life and took me from hospital bed with shattered confidence to the big stage with Eminem, from dreams to the big screen. The main benefit of learning to rap is that it makes your mind work faster than most, you become an incredible problem solver and improviser. Your confidence grows day by day until you are able to do amazing things with words.

The techniques, games and skills you will learn in this course will not just be beneficial for your social life, by helping you think quicker and feel more comfortable in situations, but they are applicable in many careers and scenarios. The skills you gain at Rap School can lead to huge, exciting careers. Not necessarily just a career in rap, I've helped young male and female rappers write their first books, write film scripts, release comic books and develop stand-up comedy careers.

The ability to rap has made me a better writer and allowed me to have a successful career in music as well as careers in journalism, literature and film all from techniques and methods nurtured in my rhyme books and with a microphone rather than in a class room. With Rap I found my voice, my identity, it taught me that extremely hard skills were easy and just a matter of time but that I was capable of anything. Not everyone can rap and when you can rap as good as I am going to teach to rap, better than your heroes, then it will make you a special individual able to think fast, process more information and think 5 steps ahead.

If you want to discover your voice, your true confidence and want to see what you are really capable of by doing something that is incredible fun then this is then this class is for you.

With Rap school you will:

1. Learn to Freestyle
2. Learn Ride the beat
3. Learn rhyme structure
4. Learn how to compile rhymes
5. Learn how to Flow
6. Learn Multi-Syllabics
7. Learn how to write Punchlines
8. Learn the art of Battle Rap
9. Learn Internals rhymes schemes
10. Learn how to write songs
11. Learn how to rap live
12. Learn how to sing
13. Learn how to record
14. Learn how to Double Time (fast rap)

Along the way you will find your voice, your style and true inner confidence and when you do it will be magical, and nothing will be able to stop you achieving at anything you want to do.

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Are you stuck? I can help!

In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.

Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

Are you stuck? I can help!

In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.

Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

I am eager to work with you and share my biggest passion with you, and hopefully reveal new and interesting aspects of music for your own practice.

After many years of studying in ZHdK, and having students of all levels attending the entrance exams in Zürich, Luzern, and Basel, I am looking forward to prepare you to your upcoming exam or without regards to it.

Topics will include different aspects of music theory: analysis, ear training, sight reading, rhythm, score-reading, music history, etc.

This class introduces the core concepts of film scoring and how music shapes story, emotion, and narrative in film and television. Students will learn how to support and move images through music, exploring timing, mood, theme, and structure. Lessons are tailored to each student’s interests and level, from complete beginners to advanced composers, and can focus on electronic, orchestral, or hybrid approaches.

The course also includes analysis and deconstruction of existing film scores to understand compositional techniques and storytelling strategies. Students will learn how to set up and optimize their digital audio workstation for film scoring, define personal creative goals, and work with industry-standard orchestral sample libraries and synthesizers such as Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, and Cinematic Studio Series. Films with sound design and no music can be provided for hands-on scoring exercises, enabling practical experience working directly to picture.

I am a passionate violinist with experience in ensembles, orchestras, and solo performances. For me, music means expression, connection, and growth. In my lessons, I want to share this joy, address each student's individual needs, and help them develop their technique, sound, and musicality with enthusiasm.

My lessons are aimed at beginners and advanced students who want to deepen their technique, musicality, and expressiveness. I place great emphasis on sound quality, intonation, posture, and musical understanding. Each lesson is individually tailored – with patience, structure, and inspiration. The goal is to awaken a joy of making music and foster personal growth.
