Piano, Music Theory, and Music Composition Tutoring - Otford - Private lessons

Piano, Music Theory, and Music Composition Tutoring

From 42.93 € /h

I specialise in tutoring piano, music theory and music composition for mainly beginner to intermediate level students. My lessons are informative but also light-hearted and engaging, and I always aim to tailor the content to the student's personal interests, whether that be prepping for an ABRSM exam or simply playing/learning for fun.

Alongside classical music, I also specialise in jazz and pop piano so am very flexible and open to tutoring students from all kinds of musical backgrounds. I hold a BA and Masters degree in Music (specialising in music composition) from Cambridge University so can offer guidance for GCSE or A-Level students looking to study music at university (e.g. help with personal statements or advice for interviews). I look foward to meeting you!
