Piano, Theory and Accompanying: BA and MMus, 30+ years experience. Any level. Any age. Language: English, Cantonese and Mandarin

From 57.36 Fr /h

I believe music learning is essential to foster an all-rounded person. Piano playing is beneficial to the brain development of a every age level, as it requires the hands (as well as fine motor skills of the fingers), eyes and brain coordination.
I have extensive experience of 30+ years in teaching group and privately, including teaching SEN students and seniors with dementia. I will employ the most suitable approach to cater the various abilities and requirements of each individual.
I can conduct the class in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

Born in Setúbal, Portugal, Diogo commenced his musical studies at the age of ten at the CRS ('Conservatório Regional de Setúbal') in Portugal, from which he was awarded Grade 8 in saxophone.
He also has a vast field of working in an orchestral setting, since 2010 I have been doing a lot of internships, such as the 3rd Internship of Palmela Wind Band (Palmela/Setúbal/Portugal), in April 2010; the Wind Orchestra Internship of the Metropolitan School (Lisbon/Portugal), in April 2011; the 5th Symphony Orchestra Festival Art & Cult (Figueira da Foz/Portugal), in July 2012; the 2nd Edition LisbonFilmOrchestra (Valada do Ribatejo/Portugal), in March 2013; the Grand Union Orchestra (Oundle/United Kingdom), in August 2014 and the 1st Internship of the "Ensemble" Symphony Orchestra (Fátima / Portugal), in September 2014, among others.
In 2014, Diogo was accepted for undergraduate studies at ESART (‘Escola Superior de Artes Aplicadas’) in Castelo Branco, Portugal, under the tuition of Carlos Canhoto. For his final recital at ESART, Diogo received an outstanding classification of 18 marks (out of 20).
Back in Portugal, Diogo participated in several masterclasses with names such as Claude Delangle, Mario Marzi, Henk Van Twillert, José Massarrão, James Houlik, Artur Mendes, António Felipe Belijar, Alexandre Doisy, Hélder Alves, Albert Julià, Jean-Yves Fourmeau, João Pedro Silva Nicolas Prost, Otis Murphy, Michel Supera, Jerome Laran, Fernando Ramos and Timothy McAllister.
In 2018 Diogo was awarded the May Edwards Prize for Music and in 2019 his quartet "Alaw Saxophone Quartet" was awarded with the Woodwind Plus Ensemble Prize from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.
In July of 2019, Diogo finished his Master's Degree in Music Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, under the tuition of Gerard McChrystal.

During my time at ESART ('Escola Superior de Artes Aplicadas') in Portugal, I also had the opportunity to gain teaching experience at a music school in Castelo Branco for two years. I found that this teaching project was very important to me, not only on the instrumental and technical side but also on the personal side.
As a music teacher, I have thought about and worked hard to develop methods and approaches for working with my students. My firm belief is that one size does not fit all, and while the goals and results are often clear the way to get there is personal and individual. I tailor my lessons to and with my clients in mind - because I care. This personalised approach is married to good quality instruction, ensuring that the basics are taught correctly and with the student's age, style, goals and capacity being considered. I work hard to provide this. I am also open to feedback, clarification, and change in order to get the balance right and encourage an open discourse with our students and student’s parents about this.
Recently in the United Kingdom, I have been developing my teaching work and experience at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff since September 2017, with several students obtaining great results in ABRSM Graded examinations.

Want to begin your music learning journey? Do you already play an instrument, but want to gain a new level of mastery? I provide lessons in violin, viola, piano, and music theory in central Cardiff. I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher with 10 years of teaching experience, and I pride myself in being able to adapt to my students' individual needs. I teach from initial level through to diploma and welcome students of all ages.

I am a drummer and jazz composer with over 15 years experience. I am a tutor on the Jazz Course at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
I can teach drums to grade 8 and beyond, as well as improvisation, song writing, harmony and grade 5 theory.
I can assist with GCSE and A - Level music and coach band practice too.

This class is designed to support people to understand and appreciate music in a broad and holistic way. There is a focus on developing methods to get the most out of learning an instrument or learning to sing.

There is flexibility in what I can cover in the class, and my classes are usually person centred. My desire is to use the skills and knowledge I have gained in my music career so far to help you to achieve your specific goals.

I also have a special focus on getting my students confident with learning how to play by ear.

I am first and foremost a pianist. I am classically trained but specialised in Jazz at conservatoire level. I also completed a second study in singing during this time. I currently work for my local music service, and have a specialty as a multi-instrumentalist, teaching beginner violin, flute, recorder and trombone. I have also worked for many years as a lecturer and one-on-one teacher for a young performers conservatoire. I also work as a session musician and accompanist, regularly playing all genres of music!

With university composition and harmony and counterpoint teaching experience, and years of professional freelance experience, I aspire to make learners of all ages, experiences and abilities the best musicians they can be. Stemming from exploring what makes music sound the way it does (in any genre), I help learners understand how to make the music they want to, in a progressive developmental and supportive way.

This class offers individual, personalised music theory / music composition (in any genre) training or tutorial support for learners of all ages, abilities and experiences.
