Early Classical Piano, All-level Jazz Piano and Music Theory Classes

From 34.44 € /h

Jazz piano is an excellent route for people who are looking for a less book-focused, more aural approach to learning an instrument. I can tutor beginners to the piano or classical-converts who are looking to experience jazz by condensing my education down into core principles. This method of learning helps you move away from the books and to start enjoying the piano with more confidence and skill. I teach with a strong emphasis on theory and aural listening and with my resources I can take you through basics to more advanced lessons.

I'm also fully equipped to teach music theory classes and to tutor in GCSE and A-Level music (composition, particularly) as well as teaching early level classical piano (up to ABRSM Grade 6).

Whether you're looking for chord skills on the piano or want to become an improviser, these are the lessons for you!

Extra information

Keyboard/piano will be needed. More advanced lessons will require a full 88-key keyboard but earlier lessons will be fine on any!

About Me

I'm a young, enthusiastic jazz pianist based in London who is looking to spread my love for music on to others! I'm currently studying an MA in Music Therapy. My education in Music Therapy has offered me a unique insight into the innate musicality of everybody and I can adjust teaching to each individual to make sure it's something they want to be doing. I'm a great believer in off-the-book learning and aural tradition but also believe the milestones offered by traditional grade systems to be a great motivator, so long as they don't become the focus! I've worked at schools and can comfortably tutor GCSE and A-Level music as well as Music Theory right up to Grade 8 ABRSM. I'm a versatile individual and confident that I can find a way of learning that makes you just as confident in me too.

I am a professional pianist who has studied in St Petersburg Conservatory (in Russia) and at the moment work as a pianist, organist and concertmaster in different locations and I am willing to share my knowledge with people who have a passion for music.
I am mainly looking for students who want to pursue music/piano as a hobby and not a professional career due to timings. In a short period of time you will have mastered all the basic skills required to play any music of you choice and impress others.

Nothing can help a musician understand music better than music theory. Whether it be improvising over jazz chord progressions, writing a score to a film or even producing beats for rappers and singers, having a good understanding of music theory will make life a lot easier for you.

In this class I will teach you the parts of music theory you need for ABRSM, but also how to use it in your compositions or performances, a tool all musicians should have in their arsenal.

I teach and guide each student differently, depending on their experience, commitment and what they wish to achieve - from relaxed music making, casual lessons, or rigorous work for exams, GCSE, A-level, degrees, entry exams, concerts or competitions. I currently teach online.

Music Theory can be daunting, or even boring. With over a decade of professional experience as a teacher, copyist/arranger, performer & composer, I can teach you or your child Music Theory in a bitesize, friendly way.

This class would be ideal for those who are:
- studying for any theory exams with ABRSM or Rockschool/Trinity, from Grade 1 all the way up to Grade 8.
- applying to a college/university degree programme where they might need to brush up on their theory knowledge or qualification
- an enthusiastic or gifted musician in practice, who wants to contextualise and bolster their general understanding with the 'whys'/'hows' of music, and not just the 'whats'.
