Keyboard Skills for Songwriting or Music Production

From 48.17 $ /h

This is a great course for singers or songwriters/producers who would like to use a keyboard or piano to aid them in their songwriting or performing.

Having some basic knowledge of keyboard playing will allow you to record demos of songs, accompany yourself whilst singing and help you write more structured, interesting songs.

We will look at basic technique, how to form chords and play them and how to use chord patterns to write songs. I can also help you add accompaniments to existing songs you've written.

About Me

I am a fully DBS checked voice and piano teacher offering piano tuition to children and adults online.

After playing piano and singing throughout my childhood and teenage years I gained ABRSM grade 8 piano alongside grade 5 Voice and Music Theory, whilst performing in local hotels and functions as a pianist. I was able to attend Goldsmiths College to study Popular Music where I gained a 1:1 and expanded my skillset as a musician, songwriter and artist. Although I started off learning classical music, I enjoy writing, playing and teaching a wide range of genres and I also have an Estill voice qualification. I now split my time between teaching and performing regularly as a solo artist.

Education

BMus (hons) Popular Music - Goldsmiths College, University of London
PG Certificate 'The Teaching Musician' Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance
Grade 8 ABRSM Piano
Grade 5 ABRSM Music Theory

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching piano, keyboards and singing for the past 6 years and have a broad knowledge of teaching both children and adults in individual and group settings. I have also worked for Soundsteps Music School, The SE22 Piano school and am currently expanding my teaching knowledge as a post-graduate student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire. My experience ranges from teaching very early beginners the basics (my youngest student was 2.5 years of age!) to helping students prepare for ABRSM and Trinity graded exams. I also teach adults one to one who wish to improve their skills or start from scratch. I can help students who wish to prepare for an audition of performance or who simply want to have a go at trying something new.

My Approach

I firmly believe in adapting my approach to suit the needs of each individual student and aim to make each lesson as enjoyable and productive as possible so that we can work together in achieving whatever goal a learner has in mind.

Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of teaching students from diverse nationalities and backgrounds. I have worked with students from various schools, including local Hong Kong schools, Hong Kong International School, Kowloon Junior International School, and the French International School etc.

I am adaptable and capable of teaching students with different personalities, whether they are highly energetic or more reserved. My primary goal is to instill a passion for music in the next generation, helping students not only grow as musicians but also as confident performers.

I have guided many students to success in ABRSM exams, from Grade 1 to Grade 8, including the latest online exam format. My students consistently achieve excellent results, and feedback from past clients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing how music has boosted their confidence and performance skills.

I tailor my lessons using a variety of books based on each student’s level and needs. Please feel free to contact me for more information or inquiries.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson.

In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician.

Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

I provide fun and personalized piano lessons, by adapting lessons based on your proficiency(beginner, intermediate or advanced), age group, and goals (hobby and leisure, grade exams). For beginners, I start with the basics of the piano and begin with teaching Tutor books. Not only will you be playing songs and pieces in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note-reading, music theory,sight-reading, technique, and more!
My approach is to teach very thorough foundations so that my students are well prepared for exams and performances such as Trinity, ABRSM, School/ church performances

Get in touch to start your lessons! ( Please note: There may be a waiting list)

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Piano lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced players.

The lessons are designed to meet your personal musical interests and goals. Whether you're drawn to the structure and beauty of classical music or the improvisational freedom of jazz, I can guide you through both worlds.

In classical lessons, we’ll focus on developing strong technique, understanding music theory, and exploring works from famous composers. If you’re more interested in jazz, I’ll introduce you to improvisation, chord progressions, and learning to express your own musical voice.
My approach is flexible and based on where you are as a musician. I believe in creating a supportive, relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your creativity and growing at your own pace.

Lessons are focused on not just playing the piano, but understanding and enjoying the music you play. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your skills, I’ll help you develop both your technique, phrasing, expressiveness. and your musical ear.

I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.

My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.

Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.

A bit about me:

Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

هل تحلم بتعلم الموسيقى بطريقة احترافية مبنية على الفهم العميق وليس فقط التقليد؟ هل ترغب في امتلاك مهارة العزف أو الغناء بثقة، والانتقال تدريجيًا من مستوى المبتدئ إلى مستوى متقدم حقيقي؟

أقدم دروسًا موسيقية شاملة ومتكاملة أونلاين، مبنية على منهج واضح ومدروس يبدأ معك من الصفر تمامًا، حتى لو لم تمسك آلة موسيقية من قبل، ويأخذك خطوة بخطوة نحو مستوى متقدم واحترافي، مع متابعة فردية دقيقة تضمن تطورك الحقيقي.

أنا معلمة موسيقى حاصلة على درجة الماجستير في الموسيقى، وعازفة بخبرة عملية في الأداء والتدريس، وأؤمن أن كل شخص يمكنه تعلم الموسيقى إذا تم توجيهه بالطريقة الصحيحة. هدفي ليس فقط تعليمك العزف أو الغناء، بل مساعدتك على فهم الموسيقى كلغة متكاملة والتعبير عن نفسك من خلالها بثقة واحتراف.

مجالات التدريس تشمل:
البيانو: تعلم أساسيات العزف، القراءة من النوتة، التكنيك الصحيح، والتدرج حتى أداء مقطوعات متقدمة.
العود: فهم المقامات، تقنيات الريشة، التحكم في التعبير، والعزف بأسلوب شرقي أصيل.
الغيتار: أساسيات العزف، الإيقاعات، الكوردات، وعزف الأغاني بطريقة صحيحة وسلسة.
الغناء: تدريب صوتي متكامل يشمل التحكم في النفس، تحسين الطبقة الصوتية، النطق الصحيح، وتطوير الأداء.
المقامات المشرقية: دراسة عملية ونظرية للمقامات، كيفية الانتقال بينها، واستخدامها في العزف والغناء والارتجال.
الموسيقى النظرية: فهم النوتة الموسيقية، الإيقاع، السلم الموسيقي، والهارموني بطريقة مبسطة وعملية.
الصولفيج: قراءة النوتة، التدريب السمعي، الإملاء الموسيقي، وتقوية الأذن الموسيقية بشكل ملحوظ.

يعتمد البرنامج التعليمي على مبدأ التدرج المنظم، حيث يتم تقسيم التعلم إلى مراحل واضحة:
المرحلة الأولى: بناء الأساس من الصفر، التعرف على الآلة أو الصوت، وفهم المبادئ الأساسية.
المرحلة الثانية: تطوير المهارات التقنية والبدء في التطبيق العملي من خلال تمارين وأعمال موسيقية.
المرحلة الثالثة: الوصول إلى مستوى متقدم يشمل التعبير الموسيقي، العزف بثقة، والقدرة على أداء مقطوعات أو أغاني بشكل متكامل.
المرحلة الرابعة: مرحلة الاحتراف النسبي، حيث يصبح الطالب قادرًا على الاعتماد على نفسه، وتحليل الموسيقى، والارتجال خاصة في الموسيقى الشرقية.

ما يميز هذه الدروس:
منهج واضح ينقلك من الصفر إلى الاحتراف بشكل تدريجي ومدروس.
شرح مبسط وعميق في نفس الوقت، يناسب جميع المستويات.
تركيز على التطبيق العملي وليس الحفظ فقط.
دمج بين العزف والغناء لتطوير الحس الموسيقي الكامل.
تطوير الأذن الموسيقية والقدرة على التمييز بين النغمات والمقامات.
بناء ثقة الطالب بنفسه وتشجيعه على الأداء والتعبير.

أسلوب التدريس يعتمد على التفاعل والتخصيص، حيث يتم تصميم كل حصة حسب مستوى الطالب وهدفه، سواء كان التعلم كهواية، أو تطوير مهارة معينة، أو الوصول إلى مستوى احترافي. يتم تقديم تمارين مخصصة، ومتابعة مستمرة، وتصحيح دقيق للأداء لضمان التقدم الفعلي.

الدروس مناسبة للأطفال، المراهقين، والكبار، ولا يشترط وجود أي خبرة سابقة. كما أنها مناسبة أيضًا لمن لديه أساس ويرغب في تطوير مستواه بشكل منهجي واحترافي.

تُقدّم الدروس أونلاين بجودة عالية، مع استخدام وسائل شرح واضحة وتواصل مباشر يضمن فهم الطالب وتقدمه في كل حصة. كما يتم إعطاء واجبات وتمارين بين الحصص لتعزيز التعلم وتسريع التطور.

إذا كنت تبحث عن تعلم حقيقي يبدأ معك من الصفر ويقودك بثقة نحو الاحتراف، مع دعم مستمر وتوجيه صحيح، فإن هذه الدروس هي الخيار المناسب لك.

ابدأ الآن رحلتك الموسيقية، وامنح نفسك الفرصة لاكتشاف قدراتك وتطويرها بشكل احترافي ومدروس.
