I specialise in teaching guitar for all levels. Beginners are very welcome. My main aim is to get the students to enjoy playing and from there we can start to get deeper into theory, composition, improvisation and song writing. I also specialise in Brazilian guitar if that is anyone's passion.

No matter where you are in your musical journey, theory is necessary to gain musical freedom. Even knowing the basics allows an aspiring musician to start creating arrangements, compose, transpose, read music better, look for different colours in harmony, and much more.

I have designed a course that will bring students through the aspects of theory, notation, harmony, structure and form to help them become more fluent in reading, composing or performing.

This class offers a comprehensive musical education designed to help students of all ages and skill levels unlock their musical potential. The teaching categories include beginner-level piano, ukulele, and violin playing, as well as music theory and composition for students from beginner to advanced levels. Our aim is to build a solid musical foundation while fostering creativity and a deeper understanding of music. In addition to instrumental skills, students will learn how to read and write musical notation, understand harmonic structures, and create their own compositions.

For students interested in language acquisition, I also offer Portuguese and English language instruction tailored for non-native speakers. These classes focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, helping students to build confidence and fluency. Whether you're looking to learn a new language from scratch or improve your existing skills, my approach integrates language learning with cultural insights, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging educational experience.

Music theory (and/or music composition) lessons for students of all ages and abilities.

Whether you're hoping to pass a music theory exam, or you need help with the composition or listening side of GCSE or A-Level Music, or if you're simply looking to learn some music theory to help with your playing, I can help you.

I have 13 years' experience teaching music theory and composition. I'm a pianist and composer, with a thorough understanding of all instruments. I can cater the lessons uniquely to your level and needs, whether you're an absolute beginner or you're an experienced musician looking to deepen your knowledge of music theory. I cover all sorts of styles, including Classical, Jazz and Pop/Rock.

My lessons are friendly and encouraging, using audio examples and helpful diagrams. My students feel better equipped to play music and reach their goals as a result.

I'm an internationally award-winning composer, creative director and producer, lecturer and researcher, teaching GCSE (all exam boards), A-level (all exam boards), piano, composition, theory, aural, history, orchestration, and undergraduate/postgraduate degree courses/modules.

I have taught for the last 25 years, privately as a piano, theory, composition, GCSE, A-level and undergraduate/postgraduate degrees, orchestration, history and musicianship/aural tutor with fellowships/posts at the Royal College of Music, London College of Fashion, London College of Communication, and the University of the Arts London. I have taught children from the age of 4+ up to adults (70+). I teach mainly online.

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.

I have been teaching music and guitar for decades, privately and in music schools, and my approach starts with the student and his needs. In my experience those needs, together with goals and expectations, change with time and I can help my students determine what they want to achieve and how to best get there. I also find that there isn’t one way that works for everybody and I enjoy creating space for students to explore what music and the instrument mean for them.
Please be aware that I am a working musician and in order to support my student while I do the profession, a degree of flexibility on times and schedule might be needed

Music composition is a powerful tool for expressing inner voice and individuality, discovering new music worlds, and boosting creativity.

With a student, we will start by forming intonations and rhythms and building beautiful musical landscapes using all opportunities for any musical instrument.

"I have been teaching privately and in music schools for over 20 years, a variety of styles and techniques from beginners to advanced. Wether you are just starting or can already play, I can help you develop a solid practice routine that will target specific areas of playing, but, most importantly, I want you to develop your own voice on the instrument just as I'm always constantly doing. I believe every musician is constantly learning, music is a journey, so come aboard!"

Lessons can take place at my studio in Acton, or online from your home.
I teach a variety of techniques and styles, songs, music theory, composition and much more.
I can also prepare students for graded exams such as Rockschool or Trinity.
I also teach bass guitar and ukulele
