My name is Marat and I am a London-based pianist, musicologist and composer with more than 20 years of experience.

My musical path started at Moscow Jurgenson Music School in Russia at the age of 7 where I took my first piano and music theory lessons.

I am a core member of the New Maker Ensemble, a group dedicated to experimenting with various art forms of new music and performance art. I regularly write articles and album reviews about new music. I have given lectures and presentations on new music at various conferences and events, including the Gnesin Contemporary Music Week 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Gnesin Academy and ZIL Culture Centre. And I even have my own podcast about new music.
Tuition is open for both online and in-person classes. All ages and abilities welcome: from age 5 to adult learners, beginner to advanced. I teach from my flat in Surrey Quays, but can also travel to my students, in which case a travel fee will be added to the standard rates. I currently offer:

Classical Piano All Ages and Levels (real baby grand piano)I am very proud to be a keeper of the Russian Music School tradition, and also very proud of my musical and teaching legacy - my teachers’ line can be traced back to Beethoven himself!
I have vast experience in teaching classical piano to people of all levels, ages and backgrounds. In case you just don’t know where to start or want to get to know the basics of playing - I possess a very unique teaching method for beginners based on my teachers’ research and enhanced by my own experience (over 10 years), which allows you to get to know the piano and see how you’re feeling about it. If you are rather advanced and looking for expanding your knowledge - I’m ready to back you up with not just useful tips, but some history and more profound understanding of where the composer you’ve chosen (and maybe even this particular work you’re interested in) came from. My approach is very individual and well-rounded, so if you really want to explore what it is all about and how it works and have passion for that - so do I!

My musical background is primarily as a jazz guitarist, specialising in improvisation and composition. This is something I can work on with students once core skills are acquired.

Aside from my
experience as a guitarist, I play in different bands as a Writer and composer. I have experience as a recording artist at Abbey Road studios and I can teach students about song writing and composition.

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessonsI am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.
I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.
The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

CLASSICAL, JAZZ/ MODERN PIANO AND RHYTHM COMPLEXITYThe older I get, the more I love. Especially during these times of immense ugliness and hate, wars and conflict, music- that's always been all about love - is the home I keep returning to. To me, mentoring someone is all about sharing the love for the instrument, thirst about the material, desire to explore new musical paths and respect for whatever happens whilst playing.
Not only we will explore technical paths and understand rhythm under a totally different light but also communicate through improvisation and modal principles. My goal is for you to love the instrument a bit more, music a bit more and as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said "Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself".
So let's explore together the painstakingly beautiful process of music through the inner child.
Hannah

Music Production classes for ALL levels. Personalized and tailored to what you want to learn (Pre-production, Recording, Editing).My approach as a teacher:
I teach through practice and creativity. I believe the best way to learn music is by making music.
My classes are tailored to the student's interests and level: you can come with an idea in mind or a project already underway, and we'll work together to take it to the next level.
I'm interested in training musicians with judgment, sensitivity, and real tools to thrive in the industry.
Teaching techniques and methods:
• 100% personalized classes, focused on your goals.
• Work with DAWs (Ableton Live, Studio One, Pro Tools) and real recording tools.
• Song analysis, structures, harmony, sound design and mixing.
• Development of artistic identity and guidance in creative processes.
• Constant feedback and focus on your own projects if you wish.
What are the classes like:
Each class has a practical and dynamic approach. We can work on singing, guitar, composition, production, recording, mixing, and applied music theory. The idea is to progress step by step, without losing sight of your style and interests.
Who are the classes for?
My classes are aimed at:
• People who are passionate and want to learn about music.
• Musicians who want to start producing their own songs.
• People interested in music production from scratch.
• Artists who already have songs and want to improve their sound.
• Self-taught students looking for more structured guidance.
• You don't need previous experience or professional equipment: just a desire to learn.

Music History Lessons Tailored to All Needs and InterestsMy teaching method is carefully tailored to the specific needs of each student, regardless of the subject we are working on (music theory, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.). The pace of learning is always set by the student, ensuring that each lesson aligns realistically with their goals and interests.
Whether you’re looking for a more flexible, amateur approach — open to diverse content — or require a rigorous plan oriented toward exams, auditions, or academic improvement, I design a personalized educational pathway.
My approach is rooted in a highly practical vision of learning, based on the educational model in which I was trained during my master’s degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). I understand teaching as a dynamic process where deep understanding takes precedence over rote memorization.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisationHey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
See you soon!
Richard
PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
