Learn how to play music from a real touring musician!

Von 58.84 Fr /Std

Learn from a pro who's played Wembley Stadium, toured Europe, and worked with West End stars!

I'm Chris - a London-based multi-instrumentalist with years of real-world experience as a performer, musical director, and bandleader. Since 2015, I’ve taught over 100 students - from 6-year-old beginners to seasoned musicians - helping them grow their skills, boost their confidence, and connect more deeply with the music they love.

I’ve played bass for 80s legends Talk Talk, bass and keyboards for renowned tribute band Guns 2 Roses on national and European tours, been a musical supervisor and musical director for national theatre productions, and shared stages with cast members from Les Misérables, Book of Mormon, Dear Evan Hansen, Mamma Mia, and more. I've performed everywhere from intimate acoustic venues to the Royal Festival Hall and even Wembley Stadium.

My teaching style is practical, flexible, and student-led. I teach both online and in person from my West London studio, working with people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking to jam with friends, write your own music, get ready for a recording session, or just play for your own enjoyment, I’ll help you build the skills you need, and enjoy the process as much as the result.

I currently offer lessons in:
🎹 Piano and keyboards
🎸 Acoustic and electric guitar
🎸 Bass guitar
📖 Music theory (from the basics to advanced harmony and analysis)
🎓 Support for GCSE and A-Level music students

I believe lessons should feel creative, inspiring, and genuinely useful - not just a box to tick. I bring patience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of both music and musicians to every session, helping students unlock their potential on their own terms.

Über mich

I'm Chris - a London-based multi-instrumentalist, touring musician, musical director, and session player with extensive experience across live performance, theatre, and studio work.

My career has taken me to some of the UK and Europe’s most iconic venues, including Wembley Stadium, the Royal Festival Hall, and Limburghal Genk. I’ve worked with cast members from Les Misérables, Mamma Mia, Dear Evan Hansen, and Jersey Boys, and held musical director and supervisor roles for national theatre productions. My performance credits range from high-profile tours to intimate acoustic shows, with a reputation for reliability, adaptability, and musical sensitivity.

As a performer, I specialise in bass (fretted, fretless, upright, and synth), keyboards, piano, and guitar. I’ve toured internationally as bassist and keyboardist for Guns 2 Roses, one of the UK’s leading tribute acts, and performed live on bass for 80s icons Talk Talk. I also work regularly with original artists across a wide range of genres, including Coma Rossi, Fran Lusty, and Kingsley Beat.

My work as a musical director and bandleader includes building and leading ensembles for touring productions, function bands, and theatre shows. I’ve worked with several of the UK’s top agencies, often stepping into complex projects on short notice and delivering to a consistently high standard.

Alongside my performance career, I’ve been teaching since 2015, offering private lessons in piano, guitar, bass, and music theory. I’ve taught over 100 students of all ages and abilities, focusing on practical, tailored instruction informed by real-world experience. My aim is to help students develop strong musicianship, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the music they love, whether they’re playing for enjoyment or pursuing it professionally.

Hello, my name is Lara and I am a classical piano student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the heart of London.

I offer private piano lessons at home (in French or in English) for people of all ages and all levels (beginners / intermediates / advanced), specializing more particularly in classical music. I can, however, adjust the program to suit the student's personal interests.

Having already had experience in teaching, with children and adults, I know how to listen to the individual needs of my students, aiming to achieve their goal but above all to give them the pleasure of doing music!

Feel free to contact me for more information.

I teach beginning and advanced aspiring pianists of all ages (3+) with a focus on immersing students in the magical world of music and getting the best possible quality out of them by challenging to achieve more than assumed possible. Music is a soul-enriching experience and developing musical skills can be a great gift for a lifetime.

With solo piano performance degrees from the Royal Academy of Music (London) and the Universität der Künste (Berlin) I am a highly qualified award-winning concert pianist with almost 20 years of teaching experience and a passion for education. My musical learning was also furthered by postgraduate musicological studies at Royal Holloway and serious interests in philosophy, religions, history, civilization, literature, poetry, law, languages as well as many other things. I loved my musical journey which included not only piano but also composition, the violin, recorder, flute, harpsichord and clavichord from childhood onwards. In the last two decades, teaching has been giving meaning to my life and I enjoy helping others to find fulfillment as well as joy in their learning.

My teaching approach is comprehensive, builds up confidence and incorporates a multidisciplinary orientation thanks to which students get promptly enthused over their learning. There is a focus on enhancing musical understanding, developing or improving reading skills, building up technique, expanding repertoire in a healthy way and foundationally preventing or sorting out injuries as well as pain-related problems. Although my teaching style is primarily quality-oriented with regards to skills, I believe that happiness, confidence, results and a sane sense of achievement are important components to balance in holistic education and offer a non-judgemental, patient, kind, equality-oriented, multicultural environment in which learning can thrive.

I encourage students to perform in concerts, festivals, exams and competitions. Many have won prizes in numerous competitions and passed exams with distinctions. Others have improved their technical skills as well as understanding of music, thus opening more doors and finding professional opportunities in the world of music.

Learn to play piano and read music. Beginners welcome! All styles from classical, jazz, latin and rock music covered. If the student requires, we will be looking at sight reading, music theory and composition in terms of using and applying scales to create chords and melodies.

For me, the most important is to help my students reach their goals, supporting them in any kind of situation. I’m happy to start with a beginner on their musical journey, prepare an advanced player for a music university audition or entrance exam, or a casual player who just wants to learn music and have fun. I always try to personalize my lessons and focus on the aims of my students. My main field is Jazz however I'm able to teach other genres like pop, latin, classical and funk. In my teaching method the music theory, scales, rhythm, harmony, improvisation, a defined technique on the instrument and several practising methods are all very important in order to improve. I’m able to teach Double Bass, Bass Guitar and Music Theory.

Hey! My name is Seán, and I am an Irish singer-songwriter based in London with 2 years of teaching experience. I teach a range of disciplines, including piano, guitar, vocals, songwriting, and music theory. Having taught students of all ages and different levels of musicianship, I am pleased to say that I have built long-lasting relationships with many of my students. With an emphasis on creativity and student input; my lessons allow students to discover their own playing style and musical direction.

I strongly believe that people learn best when they enjoy what they’re doing, and I incorporate this into my teaching style. I strongly encourage my students to bring their own ideas and suggestions to the lessons; that way they can learn a piece of music that they really like. With a background in classical music, I underpin my lessons with useful technical exercises that encourage dexterity, time-keeping and fluency. Finally, I encourage all my students to learn at least the fundamentals of music theory and sight reading. Striking a healthy balance between diligent exercises, music theory and fun musical expression, my lessons allow students to explore their musicality on all fronts.

Whether you’re a complete beginner, or you’re building upon your existing skills, I am here to help you reach your musical goals. Lessons are available immediately, looking forward to hearing from you!

Qualifications:
- Grade 8 Classical Piano - Royal Irish Academy of Music
- Piano, Vocal, and Guitar Training
- MA in Music Production, LCCM
- Decade of Songwriting Experience
- Frontman for Seán and the Late Bloomers
