I’m a professional musician who studied on the highly regarded jazz course at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance; whilst at Trinity I also studied Flute with members of some of London’s prestigious orchestras. I've performed all over London at well known venues like Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and The South Bank Centre but also played around in the city in jazz clubs like Kansas Smitty’s and Olivers. As well as performing in London I’ve played all around the UK and abroad at festivals such as the New Generations Festival in Florence (playing with American jazz artists such as Dominic Farinacci and Dan Tepfer). I’m also a highly experienced and regard teacher having taught all the way from university level to primary school. My teaching adapts to the pupil after we identify the areas we want to and wish to work on but also aspects of playing i think you need to improve or will be good to work on. I can also provide theory lessons

My name is Jim,

I am a working musician, recording artist, composer and performer based in London.

Apart from having years of experience with performing and recording, I've also taught drum lessons since I was 16 years old.
One of my favorite things about my job is witnessing my students getting hooked on the instrument and seeing that spark ignite! I'm very eager to let my students succeed in whatever they want to accomplish and find out the best approach to do so for each individual.

A few accomplishments and notable remarks:

- I'm able to teach you every popular genre: Rock, Pop, Jazz, Funk, Fusion, Hip Hop, Electronic etc.
- Honours degree in Performing arts (drums)
- Extra degree in pedagogy
- DBS certified
- Over 6 years of teaching experience
- Able to speak English, Dutch and German
- Experience in teaching children and adults
- Very flexible, professional and kind hearted
- Professional musician: a lot of direct experience in the music industry in London, having experienced touring, recording at Abbey Road Studios, record label deals and more..

I'm looking forward working with you!

With over 10 years of experience in teaching piano across many different genres, from classical to jazz and pop, I can help you in many different areas of piano performance.

I cater my teaching for students of varying ages and abilities and can help you whether you are working towards a music exam or want to learn how to improvise on the piano. I also have a BMus music degree from the University of Cardiff and work regularly as a professional pianist and keyboardist.

Along with this, I have also taught music theory from the basics of understanding musical notation to advanced harmonic analysis.

For more information or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Jazz piano is an excellent route for people who are looking for a less book-focused, more aural approach to learning an instrument. I can tutor beginners to the piano or classical-converts who are looking to experience jazz by condensing my education down into core principles. This method of learning helps you move away from the books and to start enjoying the piano with more confidence and skill. I teach with a strong emphasis on theory and aural listening and with my resources I can take you through basics to more advanced lessons.

I'm also fully equipped to teach music theory classes and to tutor in GCSE and A-Level music (composition, particularly) as well as teaching early level classical piano (up to ABRSM Grade 6).

Whether you're looking for chord skills on the piano or want to become an improviser, these are the lessons for you!

Whether you are looking to refine your technique in preparation for your next gig, or to learn your favourite song for your own enjoyment, singing is for everybody.
As a regularly performing vocalist in London, I believe that my lessons can be styled specific to each individual, and I have had experience bringing out the best in pupils. I have been trained from Classical to Jazz, all the way to Soul, R&B and Pop, so whatever style it is that you would like to learn, I can help you there!
I play Piano & Guitar as well, which can help with lessons to make things more fun and collaborative.

Saxophone Lessons are extremely fun! The Saxophone is a great and enjoyable instrument to play. It is powerful yet soothing; beautiful sounding and relaxing instrument to enjoy. I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, moved to London and now want to share my knowledge and passion about saxophone with others!

(If you are a beginner) You will be introduced to the fundamentals of saxophone playing, note-reading and improvisation, and develop these skills as the course progresses.

What will we cover?

- Studying relevant music theory and reading music for saxophone
--Jazz Harmony

I'm a drummer & percussionist with a varied musical repertoire from Jazz, Funky and Latin music.
I studied drums, congas, timbales and other percussions with remarkable teachers with particular attention to Cuban techniques and developing my own style in jazz improvisation and I can pass on my skills with individual lessons or for little groups (max 3) by teaching drums, congas, latin percussions and jazz improvisation. I aim to teach in a joyful way with relaxing drum circle when in a group in order to create a team spirit instead of a competitive one within a no judgemental environment that can allow to make you feel at your ease and express the best of you.

If you want to play any kind of Contemporary Music on any kind of Instrument, I have a full recording and livestreaming studio, with almost all the instruments, and I play them all. Whether you are interested in burning wah fiddle through a Guitar valve, grooving reggae on a bass, or scatting like Ella, I'm your man.

I teach guitar, improvising, songwriting and music theory for any level, from complete beginner, to advanced. I have spent the my last 4 years at the Royal Academy of Music, studying Jazz Guitar and Composition with some of the best teachers in the world and I am now keen to share this knowledge and get more people inspired and involved in the world of music.
Although I studied Jazz, I started off playing Rock and Pop guitar, so I am able to teach those genres as well. I like to tailor the lessons to my student's individual tastes and needs so that they can benefit the most from it and also get the most inspiration.
I have taught private lessons for 6 years and have had great feedback from students and have seen students improve rapidly in just a few lessons.
