Emanuele Addis, born in 1996 in Sassari, Italy. He has begun his classical guitar training at the age of fourteen at Liceo Musicale in Sassari under the guidance of professor Calogero Sportato. He is currently attending the Conservatorio Antonio Vivaldi (Alessandria, Italy) in Frédéric Zigante’s class and he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree with first-class honors. Addis will attend a Master of Arts at the Royal Academy of Music and Michael Lewin will be his new teacher. Addis stood out in numerous national and international competitions. To name but a few, he won the 1st prize at the Ventennale Ossola Guitar Festival in Valstrona; 1st prize at Moncalieri European Music Competition, 1st prize at the Ansaldi National Competition of 2018; he qualified for the ARD Musikwettbewerb in Munich, 3rd prize at the Brussels International Guitar Competition and the 2nd prize at Guitart International Guitar Competition 2019 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Kieran is a highly experienced London-based music tutor able to teach multiple instruments and having done so in several countries. He currently works part-time for the Harrow Music Service and as a private one-to-one tutor in London. Prior to this, he had worked as a self-employed peripatetic in West Yorkshire, which itself had been preceded by working for the highly renowned Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust, and also a stint in the USA co-leading a music programme at a summer camp. As an instrumentalist Kieran is foremost a guitarist and can offer lessons in electric, classical and acoustic guitar. However, he can also teach piano, music theory, composition and arranging. Kieran is a great admirer of the renowned music educator Paul Harris and in particular, buys into his simultaneous learning technique. With this, all the areas that need to be developed in order to play a musical instrument are developed from the off at an equal speed, reducing the likelihood of students having a lopsided understanding of their instrument and a limited appreciation of all the skills needed to be a musician. This means no two students learn everything in the same order and Kieran is not just repeating the same blueprint every time. Consequently, students of his really understand the music they are playing from an early moment and are much more likely to sooner hit the magic stage where they go from being tutor dependent learners to self-dependent learners. Ultimately, what Kieran wishes to achieve with each student is to develop a love of playing music that will last a person’s lifetime. Although by no means a core principle of his teaching rationale, Kieran is more than happy to help students prepare for musical examination should they wish to go down this avenue. He has experience with the syllabuses of all the major examination boards, including Trinity, Rockschool, ABRSM and London College of Music and students that have entered under his tuition can currently boast a 100% pass rate. Kieran is able to offer either face-to-face or online lessons. For the former, lessons can take place either in his home or at the clients’ residence, dependent on availability and location. For the latter he has years of experience of doing it and so is comfortably able to adapt to the different demands that the format requires. As a performer, Kieran works in a variety of musical genres that, from the perspective of learning and rehearsing music, all operate in slightly different ways. As a result, he has first-hand experience of all of the main ways music can be taught (e.g. aurally, visually, and kinesthetically). This versatility makes him an ideal teacher for implementing wholesome, efficient and enjoyable musical learning to students of all ages and abilities.

My name is Dan and I am originally from the North East of England now living in London. I have over 18 years of experience working as a professional musician. I have played in bands since I was 16 covering all sorts of different styles. Being a professional musician has given me experiences I don’t think I would have had with any other chosen profession. It has enabled me to travel extensively playing a wide range of gigs, whether it be music festivals or private parties. It has also enabled me to meet some of my musical heroes and perform in front of many well know people. I love playing guitar, performing, teaching others and sharing my musical experience and knowledge. I love watching others improve and gain confidence on their instrument using some of the tools I have equipped them with. I have taught as a peripatetic guitar teacher in schools and privately covering everything from theory to grades or just taught people for fun showing them how to play there favourite riffs/chord progressions. I have also worked with large groups of adults as part of corporate team building events. I am happy to teach a wide range of ages/ability levels and help my students reach their goals. Ever since I discovered Rock music at a young age, it was bands like ACDC and Metallica that inspired me to pick up the guitar, later getting into Oasis and Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin to name but a few. My very first instrument was piano but given that rock music was my motivation, piano didn’t quite cut it! My Approach as a Teacher: I am a patient, laid-back music teacher who is happy to work at whatever pace/intensity that I feel best suits the student. I have gained many skills/tools along the way to help get the best out of my students. I don\’t believe in putting pressure on people and prefer to create a stress free/fun environment. I really enjoy teaching my student their favourite songs, dissecting each part and showing them how to play their favourite sections of each song. This can be really motivational for students as it gives them something fun to focus on, whilst learning some valuable techniques. Music Qualifications & Achievements: B.TECH National Diploma in Popular Music B.A Hons Degree in Popular Music Grade 5 Music Theory. I have toured the UK with ex Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, played with people such as Reef, Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs, Rick Astley, Mel B to name but a few. I have played many of the UK music festivals and plethora of other gigs from London to the Seychelles.
