About Me

I am an internationally performing professional clarinet-, bass clarinet-, and saxophonist, playing a wide range of styles. I perform classical, jazz, folk/world music, and pop in a variety of different ensembles and bands, and can teach in all these styles as well, including improvisation and klezmer/gypsy/Balkan music. As a bass clarinet specialist, I have been recognized by some of the great players of our time and regularly perform around the world.

For those of an advanced level and professional-bound, I am a specialist in contemporary music and extended techniques and can teach things like slap tongues, multiphonics, quarter-tones, etc. I am also developing exciting new lessons and workshops in advanced rhythm. This new method of approaching rhythm will not only help to stabilize your own internal pulse, but will also show you techniques to understand and correctly perform complex rhythms with ease.

In addition to playing, I have also been a recording engineer and electronic musician for nearly 20 years and can teach music technology and production. I run my own small studio and have recorded many major classical and jazz ensembles and artists in the UK and Europe.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching private clarinet, bass clarinet, and saxophone lessons for over 20 years in the United States, Netherlands, and UK to students from ages 7-75 and at all playing levels, have been teaching group lessons in British and Dutch primary schools, have given masterclasses to university and conservatoire students, and have given lessons and coaching to other professionals and teachers. In addition to instrumental lessons, I can tutor in theory, music technology, music production, and advanced rhythm.

- start producing music on a computer. or tablet

I am a pianist, music producer RnB, Pop, HipHop, Lofi, Nudisco etc... with a strong jazz background and 9 years of experience as a music teacher. I would love to show you new horizons, teach you how to play your favorite songs without sheet music, and create the music you love.

Knowledge of an instrument is not necessary to start producing music.

Singing is good for the soul and I believe that everyone and anyone can learn to sing! I’ve been a professional classical singer for 15 years now, touring all over the world with UK-based ensembles and singing in some of the most incredible concert halls. I studied music at Oxford University and did a postgraduate in singing at Trinity Laban and am passionate about music education. I’ve taught all ages from 3-year-olds to 70-year-olds in workshops and on a one-to-one basis. I offer lessons focussing on vocal health and confidence, improving range, learning new repertoire or improving current repertoire, working towards exams and performances, choral singing techniques, or just singing for simple enjoyment! My approach is holistic as I believe the voice is an extension of our bodies and personalities. I also teach recorder, piano, and general musicianship to all ages.

Songwriting is an essential skill in the production of any song.
Learn what it takes to write a great song that resonates with people. We will discuss the art of storytelling and discover how you can find your unique voice. Exploring how to create a strong melody and write a compelling lyric.
In this class, you will learn simple techniques on how to get the most out of your lyrics by skillfully matching the phasing and syllables with the notes of your melodies. We will look at the ways in which song structure can give your songs more depth.
I believe everyone can be trained in the art of skilled expression through songwriting.

Want to play guitar but no idea where to start? I can help!

I'm a jazz student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire going into my 3rd year- with extensive teaching experience ranging from preschool to pension, I have helped people to ace grade exams and pushed guitarists to understand music better. I currently have numerous happy guitar students, most of whom I have taught from their first time with the instrument.

I can teach right from the first stage, and help with grade exams if that's the route you choose to take. If not, I often do a more modern, non-graded path as well. I'm also equipped to help in passing theory grades, and very knowledgeable about music tech, recording, effects and gear!

Go on, give me a call!

I can support anyone looking to gain knowledge of harmony, chord melody, soloing, popular and unconventional song structure and style. Or if you want to learn other songs and build up your repertoire.

My musical background is primarily as a jazz guitarist, specialising in improvisation and composition. This is something I can work on with students once core skills are acquired.

I can also help get students get up to speed with their grade exams and offer musical theory support.

His methodology is tailored to each individual student, with a focus on providing enjoyment of the individual lessons as much as possible. He is understanding in giving constructive feedback and understandsi how important it is to foster a healthy self-image and self-story in all of his students.

Fiachra teaches at every level, and is always supportive of different learning approaches for each persons unique needs, and shows great awareness and understanding in particular of students with SpLDs.

My teaching approach is inspired by Paul Harris’ “Simultaneous Learning” and Phyllis Young’s “Playing the String Game”. I combine games and natural instinct to help my students understand playing the cello without overly-complicated instructions.

With 4 years of experience, I’m confident in taking on both young and adult students, from beginners all the way to diploma level, guiding their journey throughout. Learning the cello should be both fun and rewarding.

I tailor my lessons according to each students’ interests, strengths, and weaknesses in order to help them realise to their full potential. I believe in well-rounded development for musicians, providing musicianship, aural, historical knowledge, on top of playing the instrument

Feel free to get in touch to discuss and I’m happy to offer any help.
