Having spent many years as a Songwriter and Music Producer for many major record labels, I am excited to share my expertise and knowledge.

I have a full background in all types of Music production from DAW based to working in large Analogue Studios to tape. In addition to this having a Masters Degree in Classical Composition from the Guildhall School Of Music and Drama means that I have a full and thorough grounding in all aspects of music.

Over the last few years I have been tutoring masterclasses both Online and at various universities so I am very keen to share my knowledge with more people.

I am a qualified guitar, vocal and production tutor. I specialise in contemporary styles for all classes and have a modern and interactive approach to teaching music. I cater to each student individually and prefer practical rather than theory based learning.

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.

I specialize in teaching music theory and piano, especially for songwriters, drawing from my background of classical piano, my MA in songwriting, and my career as a published singer/songwriter. I assign creative exercises as homework, and I try to not let any question unanswered!

For instrumentalists, we will look at the piano and some of its different techniques - classical, jazz, accompanying yourself, with focus on what the student actually wants to learn.
For songwriters, we will go through music theory basics, and then basic harmony until we will be able to construct own our songs.

I specialise in teaching music theory at all grade levels, aural and musicianship skills, preparation for GCSE and A level exams and tutoring in composition. I encourage students to feel confident about their skills but also to want to know more . I set homework after each session and encourage independent listening and small research tasks. I work with students of all ages.

I specialise in writing and composing music for all levels. The student will need to have a music programme such as Logic or Ableton in order to be able to take this class.

The topics we will cover are:
Structure and arrangment.
Rhythm.
Harmony.
Advanced Harmony.
Bass Lines.
Lyrics.
Instrumentation.
Arrangement.

I am a Masters graduate from the Royal College of Music in London and specialise in teaching a range of musical skills including: theory, composition and clarinet. With experience teaching all ages and abilities I aim to offer lessons tailored to you or your child that are clear, engaging and enjoyable! 😊

In COMPOSITION, I can give advice on a range of styles including:
- contemporary classical music, using Sibelius software
- electronic music production/Logic (any style)
- Music for Film (theory / orchestration and using samples etc)

In CLARINET we will focus on breathing and musicality as well as technical skill. I am also keen to encourage playing by ear and from memory as well as with printed music.

In MUSIC THEORY I aim to find simple, practical solutions to help students in their understanding as well as relating the theory to well-known examples in classical and modern music.

I love meeting new people with a passion for music, from absolute beginners to the more advanced. I'd love to hear from you if any of the above sounds up your street!

Learn Guitar while improving the powerful tool of songwriting, developing basic music production skills.

You will learn how to play guitar the basics of music theory and how to apply it in songwriting. I will guide you to understand different music genres and how to capture their sound signature, helping you to develop your own sound and style. Together we will explore different types of music production techniques and how to implement them in your writing process. Gradually I will introduce different approaches to writing music and develop your musical and compositional skills to become a fully efficient songwriter and music producer.

Are you musical trained, confident enough with your instrument but finding frustrating coming up with your own compositions? Finding difficult to get idea for a new song, need suggestions for your lyrics, or just a simple understanding on a song structure?

This class is based in songwriting and musical performance. I will provide any tips and suggestion to get a song done and don't get stuck between lyrics or chords. I'll be focussing in songwriting structure across different genre, pop, folk, blues, jazz.

I will be also structuring the classes giving home exercise working on new sketches every week across those different genres, and diverse themes.

Once the song will be completed I'll give any sort of advice on how to perform a song to an audience. How to structure a show and organise you band if you have one.

During the lesson I'll be using piano as main instrument and singing. I am also confident in guitar if required.

Songwriting and performance for me are quite related. At the same time I can also give advice and teach just one or the other if required.

Please follow below more information about myself.

Now a days the role of Music Producer has changed drastically. Not only do producers have to learn the business and build artists, they also are in charge of making the music themselves. This has made the demand for Producers way higher while the role has gotten even more interesting and challenging.

In the lessons I will be teaching the students how to make music (preferably with the software Fl Studio), navigate the music industry, build clients and push the boundaries of modern day sounds. I have found that teaching production ignites passion in students not just for music but in the arts as a whole. I will also be giving students access to emails and connections to artists I work with as rewards for dedication/practice to create more incentive to work harder.

Learning to play guitar is a life-long journey, one that is fulfilling and absorbing.

Composing for opera reaches far beyond music composition and when it's done well it is part of an expansive and complex matrix of disciplines, practices, and approaches. In this class we will consider dramaturgy, structure, multimedia collaborative process, composing for voice (from bel canto to neutral conversation), consider dramatic practices, opera specific methodologies and theatre practice.

Whatever your style the principles, analysis, advice and guidance I can offer will take your opera to the next level.

As the artistic director of Waste Paper Opera, I have composed, collaboratively written, and co-directed 8 large scale operas, worked on projects for film, art installation, and even performed in a swimming pool. I have experience as a director, having trained with the late Sir Graham Vick at Birmingham Opera Company and National Opera Studio. I've performed across Europe and the USA as a singer, clown, actor, and musician, most notably with Brookly-based performance group Object Collection.
