Learn to play the piano with a professionally trained musician with 10 years of instrumental teaching experience. I teach pupils of all levels and ages and have experience in teaching both adults and children. Every pupil is different and learn in different ways and I believe that it is important to identify what each student responds to in order to get the best results. A solid technique is crucial but instead of repeating various technical exercises which can be a bit tedious, I try to identify these techniques within pieces of music, helping them understand how good technique affects and supports their everyday learning, practicing and performing.

About Me
I am a Welsh harpist and pianist who has recently moved to Croydon and I enjoy teaching both harp and piano to children and adults. I first studied harp, piano, and musicianship with Elinor Bennett, Iwan Llywelyn Jones and Sioned Webb. Born in Mynytho at the heart of the Llŷn Peninsula, I have enjoyed many successes in Welsh Eisteddfodau and festivals. I am lucky to have had a variety of unique experiences, including performing Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro and Paul Patterson’s Spiders Web, being invited to perform with Catrin Finch accompanying choirs on piano and playing keyboard in pit bands. As well as teaching and performing as a soloist, I also enjoy creating music with others and am one-half of harp duo Dwyres alongside my sister.
Education
I am a professionally trained musician with the following qualifications and training:
MMus in Music Performance, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
BMus(Hons) in Music Performance, Royal Northern College of Music
Experience / Qualifications
I have been giving private harp, piano, theory and aural lessons for the past ten years, taking nearly all my students through the ABRSM syllabus. From January 2018, I spent two years working and teaching. I firmly believe that communication with the parents of my younger students regarding the progress of their children is essential, and ensure that I provide regular feedback on their progress. I taught theory and aural one to one on a weekly basis, giving students an extra boost before their ABRSM exams. I prepared many sixth form students for their grade five theory ensuring that they gained this crucial qualification before entering conservatoire. As part of my continued professional training, I have undertaken a number of activities to enhance my teaching skills. I undertook various PGCE modules and have also participated in workshops and seminars at events all of which have helped me hone my skills as a teacher and ensure my knowledge of effective teaching practices and exam boards is up to date.

Rayan
I offer piano lessons for all levels.

7 years of teaching experience in conservatories, music schools and in business.

I have a very good contact with children. I am demanding but gentle and very patient. I believe that one learns by listening, I am present to allow this listening to be at the center of the course and thus accompany the student on the path of music.

I adapt to the need, the desire and the receptivity of each one.
The well-being of the student is essential for progress in confidence and joy.
The development of listening to the inner song is at the heart of my teaching.

For beginners: songs, games, improvisation, creation. The links with song and rhythm are very important to have a healthy foundation. The musical notions are approached gradually by experience then by recognition. Reading and writing are brought about by creation and musical composition.

For the more experienced, polyphony and difficult passages can be approached with different tools, by awareness of harmony and melodic modes and polyrhythm. Sometimes it is enough to be aware of simplicity to overcome difficult passages.

I push to go further in the quality of the interpretation with simple means to better understand the music and thus allow more expressiveness and freedom.

I also offer improvisation, harmony,
lessons in musical ensembles, especially vocal polyphony for children, and lessons for specific needs, for example just intonation for singers or other instruments.

I try to communicate my passion for music, especially to the children, without forgetting to have fun.

Either, if you want to become a really good guitarist or if you just want to play guitar for fun and relaxation, don’t hesitate to contact me.
I thrive on seeing my students grow and develop as they discover what they can achieve.

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.

Eleazar
Professional lessons in London for beginners and intermediate players of all ages.

Hi, I’m Eleazar, and I’m here to help you discover (or rediscover) the art of playing the violin. My course focuses on building strong foundational skills and mastering the basics, essential for anyone starting out or looking to solidify their technique.

My goal is to help you build the strong technical foundations that lead to freedom and joy in playing the violin while keeping the learning process fun and engaging. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate player, my lessons are designed to guide you through mastering the basics so that you can ultimately play with confidence and ease.

What makes my teaching unique?
🎻 A Fresh Perspective on Violin Technique
I had the privilege of studying with world-renowned violinist Zakhar Bron, and at the age of 21, I had to completely rework my violin technique. Because I learned it later in life, I can break down the essentials and explain them in a way that’s easy to understand—something most violinists, who learned their technique as young children, often struggle to do. Together, we’ll build the foundations that will allow you to play freely, rather than feeling restricted by technique.

🌍 Multilingual Lessons
I’m a native French speaker and fluent in both Spanish and English. You can choose the language you’re most comfortable with, so we can focus entirely on making progress with your playing.

📍 Flexible Lessons in London or Online
I offer lessons in person here in London, but I’m also available online if that suits your schedule better. My goal is to make violin lessons accessible, convenient, and enjoyable for everyone.

🎯 Tailored for Beginners and Intermediate Students
My lessons are specifically designed to help you build a solid technical foundation, develop your sound so you can truly play freely and express yourself.
You’ll leave each session feeling accomplished and confident.

Slogan:

"Build your foundation. Play with freedom. Enjoy the music."

Lessons are usually 3/4hr or one hour. Please see my profile for more information on my approach.

I have very limited availability at the moment but if it's online lessons I have more than the calendar shows.

The class is tailored to the individual but in general technique and musicality go hand in hand. I am strong on the reading of music as this gives the student all the necessary tools to read so many different genres of music... and to then be free of music if that is the goal.

Ricardo
I am an experienced guitar tutor teaching lessons face-to-face and online. I also cater to groups. I have been a musician for over 20 years and have been teaching guitar for over 10 years, giving me a vast range of knowledge, teaching methodologies, and learning resources.

This class is specific to children as it fosters a love of music and music creation via easy-to-learn and play tunes, notation reading and developing ear skills. Learning music and guitar at a young age is a wonderful way to learn a new skill which boosts confidence, teaches effort and rewards relationships, creates discipline, and helps children take pride in their achievements and performances.

We will learn the fundamentals of playing the guitar, focusing on developing good techniques across both the left and right hand enabling faster growth and easier self-directed study. We will learn a selection of short tunes/melodies, chords and some sight reading. Grades are an option for those interested but my main aim is to bring the joy of guitar to the lessons! Below are a number of recent testimonials from my young students:

"Ricardo has been teaching my son electric guitar for just over a year. Ricardo has not only taught my son how to play but has been an inspiring figure who has given my son a lot of confidence in himself too. The lessons are tailored to suit the child brilliantly and Ricardo has selected songs that my son wants to learn therefore keeping him very engaged and making learning the guitar so much fun! Ricardo is very encouraging and has an enthusiastic and passionate approach for music & teaching. I would highly recommend Ricardo as a great guitar teacher to anyone looking to start playing." Bryony, mother of Stan.

"He’s a very nice and funny teacher and he helps me when I struggle. He makes the lessons fun and will always help you learn a song that you want to be able to play. I always look forward to seeing him." Luisa, aged 12.
