Àpd 103.76 C$ /h

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.

Présentation

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.
