من أنا؟

Hey Students,
My name is Kris , originally from the UK, but have lived in New Zealand for 26 years, and now back in the UK!!! In the last 20 years my focus has been as a recording artist, distributing my own compositions to over 180 countries via streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Pandora etc. However, I'm in a unique season now when I can take a limited number of students to teach piano. My focus is on helping you express yourself on the piano, learn to compose, play from chords and by ear, and I can also help get budding artists started with development coaching - showing you the steps you need to take to get your music streamed around the world. I'm looking forward to teaching again, so please reach out if you are interested. One-off and regular lessons are fine.

I live in Essex, UK with my wonderful wife, and 8 of our 9 children (one is married) - so it's certainly not boring in our home :-)

Happy playing!

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Do you dream of playing and singing simultaneously with fluidity and confidence, without distraction or loss of pitch or rhythm?
In this lesson you will learn step by step how to unify your voice and your musical instrument, and build a true harmony between playing and singing, while adjusting the musical pitch to suit your voice accurately and healthily.

Vocal coaching develops a strong singing voice while boosting self-confidence, clarity, and inner harmony. A good coach helps you discover your unique voice, encouraging risk-taking and individuality, which enhances performance confidence. Clarity comes from understanding vocal mechanics, improving breath control and diction, allowing for better emotional expression in music and daily communication. Achieving harmony involves aligning vocal expression with emotions, fostering inner peace and fulfilment.

If you’ve ever wondered why your cat acts a certain way, or how to help them feel happier, safer, and more balanced at home, this class is for you. I focus on practical, compassionate guidance tailored to your cat’s unique personality and needs. During our session, you’ll learn interesting things about feline behavior (based on your goals): how to improve daily care, understand feline body language, prevent or reduce unwanted behaviors, and create a more peaceful environment for both you and your cat. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or simply want to deepen your bond, I’ll help you see your feline friend in a whole new light.

Although this class is listed under “pet trainer,” my approach is a little different. I don’t train cats in the traditional sense, I help YOU understand THEM. Think of me as a feline behavior translator: someone who explains your cat’s body language, emotional needs, and home environment so you can take better care of them and prevent common behavior issues.

I also combine this with gentle life-coaching principles for the owner. When you’re busy, stressed, or unsure how to handle your cat’s needs, it affects both of you. My goal is to support you and your cat together. Helping you create a calmer, more organized routine while improving your cat’s comfort, confidence, and happiness at home. Whether you want behavior insight, better daily care practices, or guidance to feel more grounded as a cat guardian, I’m here to help both sides of the relationship thrive.

My method: Practice before theory. With 6 years of experience and productions accumulating millions of streams, I offer a teaching method based on the reality of the current music market.

My goal isn't to make you read a manual, but to make you self-sufficient with FL Studio as quickly as possible. I teach the practical techniques I use daily to create tracks that sound "professional".

Typical course structure: Each session is tailored to your needs, but generally follows this structure:

Listening and analysis: We listen to your projects or reference pieces.

Targeted technique: Focus on a specific aspect (Composition, Sound Design, Vocal Mixing, Mastering...).

Practical application: We immediately apply the technique to an FL Studio project.

Debriefing: I give you exercises and tips to help you progress before the next lesson.

Who are these courses for?

For complete beginners who want to get to grips with FL Studio.

To intermediate beatmakers who feel their productions lack "punch" or clarity.

For artists who want to learn how to record and mix their own voices.

I help you develop your own sonic identity.
