About Me

Music Production - Songwriting - Guitar Tutor
I am a recent BA Creative Musicianship graduate of ICMP with previous experience in people-oriented
service roles and eager to become a Music tutor specialised in guitar and music production.

Studying at ICMP helped develop my experience of relevant theoretical and practical skills as a performer, music producer and songwriter as well as a guitarist, allowing me to be able to teach guitar, music theory at an basic Intermediate level. Also I am capable to teach songwriting and music production. I am use to of setting up workshops and music lessons as well to take on live studio and home recording sessions, as I have been working with several artists and peers at ICMP to produce exceptional sound quality.

I am familiar with programme such as Logic ProX practicing sound synthesis, sound-design and sound testing. My professional background as music producer and sound engineer also includes setting up equipment, arranging and conducting music theory and songwriting sessions, adjusting settings, and running sound tests while communicating effectively with performers and managers to drive recording and performance success.

Music is an important tool of interaction and self exploration and I believe it is necessary to make the student passionate about it without imposing a specific learning method. My goal as music tutor is to primarily invite my students towards music explorations and subjectivity of musical instinct and taste, designing classes based on the receptive and learning abilities of my student as the learning process isn't always the same for everyone.

I specialise in teaching music composition, production, and piano. I have a BA from the University of Oxford in Music, and I am a professional TV and Film composer. I am also able to teach music theory, history, and ear training.

My goal is to create lessons that help my students to get an interactive, un-intimidating, and fun filled musical education. I believe that this comes from learning not just one area of music, but by giving students the tools to be confident in any musical setting they choose. I teach all ages and levels of musical ability.

As I have a wide background in music, I am able to give a rounded music educate in the area you choose to specialise in! I have experience performing classical, funk, jazz, and pop and would love to share a whole range of different styles with you.

Ableton Live is the new standard for electronic music. Its very easy to learn and with only a couple of lessons you will be able to start making your own music! Used by almost all EDM, House, Deep House and even Pop artists it is the must-have tool in the new decade. In our classes we will go over making beats, basic music theory, song-writing techniques and production techniques including advanced sound design with synthesizers. If requested, we can also move on to mixing to make your tracks sound just like what you hear on the radio.

I specialize in Ableton Live and have released albums on multiple record labels. I hold a degree in Music Production and Sound Engineering from Point Blank Music School and I am currently the Music Content Manager at Vochlea Music and the lead Ableton tutorial writer for Attack Magazine. I also own my own recording and production studio in East London.

My method is ... LEARN BY MAKING YOUR MUSIC!

The student will learn techniques, stylistic elements, tricks ... already by working on his first tracks: to keep motivation and satisfaction high, the result is always visible!
The lessons are face-to-face and personalised according to the level of experience and the musical style of the student. The presentation of the information is clear and accompanied by practical examples.

I'll show you how to:
- use Ableton Live,
- program and control synthesizers and virtual instruments,
- use microphone and sound card to record your voice and your instruments,
- process sound with effects (plugins) and optimize it for diffusion (mixing and mastering),
- make your songs, from start to the last details.

I also speak Spanish, French, German and Italian.

Instrument Tuition:

Very flexible approach, I will teach based on individual needs. Beginners will learn the basics of the guitar, basic chords, basic scales etc. And advanced players will learn more complex chords, intricate scales, harmonies and improvisation.

If you just want to learn how to play your favourite songs, then I will teach you how to do that. If you want to learn about song writing, I will teach you that. Anything and everything.

Logic Pro X:

Equally as flexible and I will adhere to individual needs, I may need to start from the very basics even for proficient users. I have many years of experience and I graduated from Manchester MIDI School as a specialist in Logic Pro X. I will explain, demonstrate and test students about each subject per lesson.

We will look at MIDI, editing, recording, compression, EQ, Mastering, mixing, time stretching, FX, plugins, remixing, audio design, sound manipulation and so on.

Hello there, I am Jools, London based session musician and music tutor.
I have classical training on piano, having studied for 11 years. I was lucky enough to work for FunKeys For Kids: that gave the chance to do peripatetic teaching and work with kids. And definitely there is nothing better than trying to show the passion for music.
My classes are generally for beginners and whoever wants to step into learning piano.
I do as well one to one tuitions where I am focusing more on right and left hand technique, sight reading, harmony.

And of course if there is a song you would like to learn I will be happy to show you how.
If this is for you do not hesitate to get in touch.

I am looking forward to teaching you

Ever felt overwhelmed with the amount of features on DAW's? We've all been there... In fact this took me years of fumbling through the software wasting precious time!

As a freelance producer, musician and engineer myself, I'm offering a beginners guide to music production. We will be using Logic Pro X (and some Ableton if that's your preference) and I'll be teaching you the fundamental's of the software, how to record MIDI and audio, editing audio and MIDI, how plug ins work, tips and tricks for EQ, and plenty more.

If you feel this is up your alley or know someone who would be interested, then send me a message and we can get started today.
