Hi, I'm Billy, a guitarist from South East London who's been performing live since I was eighteen. I was trained at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and have over five years of private teaching experience. Having begun as a self-taught musician, I believe it is fundamental for students to first find their passion, as this will provide the necessary motivation to advance. Whether you've just got your first guitar, or you wish to build upon your existing skills and advance your playing - I will make sure to tailor my lessons to you. With more than seventeen years of playing, over five years experience teaching privately, and two and half years spent in primary schools, I am well versed in teaching both young and old, new and advanced students. As a versatile musician, I am accomplished in many genres and playing styles, including rock, blues, jazz, metal, funk, disco, country, pop, soul, punk and many more. Having helped students learn their first song, while also helping others improve their improvisation and soloing skills, I am confident and happy to teach students of all ages and abilities. As a songwriter and performer in my own band, I have performed across the country for many years, showcasing my own compositions. I also have experience working with singer songwriters, function bands and session work. I have six years of musical education, having studied at Access To Music in Stratford, before studying music at degree level at The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in Kilburn, where I achieved First Class Honours.

Welcome to my profile! I enjoy teaching students of all abilities and finding the right ways for them to reach their goals. I teach RSL and Trinity Grades (classical/rock and pop/acoustic). I also tutor for GCSE and A Level Music. However, if Grades aren't your thing we can learn songs, riffs, theory....whatever interests you! I have experience in many different styles and genres: rock, pop, classical, jazz, acoustic etc etc. My career has spanned 2 decades, recent highlights include working with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Proms with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra, West End Productions of MJ The Musical, Pretty Woman The Musical and We Will Rock You (Coliseum) as well working with artists such as Rumer and Toyah. I've also recorded guitars for various artists, some TV programmes and Netflix series. I teach both online (Zoom/Teams) from my purpose built studio in the Bromley/Orpington area of SE London.

Hi, my name is Maja Benevrkic and I am very passionate contemporary artist/musician. I have finished my education here in England on De Montfort University getting my Bachelor’s in Arts, however, prior to that I have lived and studied in Croatia where I received most of my musical education. I can offer private tuition for Violin, Viola, Guitar, Piano, Music Theory, Composition and Singing for £35 per hour. (Lessons paid for in advance.) Your current knowledge of music can be at any level. Are you someone without any previous knowledge of music who wants to learn and explore it more? Or are you an experienced musician who wants to boost your knowledge of music to even higher level? Or are you someone who is seriously preparing for auditions to enter music academy? I’d be happy to take all of you on. Since I was very engaged in classical music community for the past 15 years, my music base is mainly rooted in classical music. However, using that knowledge I was able to expand to every style and can explain every music genre and technique. I can confidently teach you how to read and write sheet music, site read, improvise, transcribe pieces of music or write your own music arrangements. Furthermore, if you want to record your own songs, I can teach you how to properly record an edit it in programmes such as GarageBand. How I teach… My method of teaching varies from person to person I teach. The first step I take is finding where my students interests lie because that is the firmest base to build up on. Once I understand my student better I find as many correlations between their main interest and the subject I’m teaching. Pulling strings between the two peaks their interest more and they have less trouble with paying attention to the subject (or at least that’s what my experience of helping my friends during school years thought me.) I like to adapt the speed to the one that my student is most comfortable with because I believe that anyone can learn anything, but the only difference is the speed we are able to learn/understand it and I am ready to prove that claim. Since I have my Bachelor’s in Performing Arts I’m more than used to seeing the same concept through many different lenses, so let’s find a new way to see music through your lens.

I’m Kwabla Amenyah, a Pianist, Music Educator, and Curriculum Designer dedicated to helping learners of all ages discover the joy of music. With 10+ years of experience, my lessons focus on piano & vocal performance, music theory, and exam preparation for ABRSM and Cambridge, while also welcoming those who simply want to explore music for personal enjoyment. I use clear explanations, practical exercises, and easy‑to‑follow resources to make complex ideas simple and engaging. Over the years, I’ve guided beginners, advanced students, and diploma candidates, always tailoring lessons to individual goals. I also design educational materials that explain theory in straightforward language, ensuring students feel confident rather than overwhelmed. In class, I combine practice with understanding, so learners not only play but also grasp the structure behind the music. Technology plays a big role in my teaching—I use modern tools to speed up progress, reinforce mastery, and make lessons interactive. At the same time, I place strong emphasis on building a solid foundation that supports growth far beyond expectations. Outside teaching, I continue to create curricula, publish resources, and explore new ways to make music education inspiring and effective. I aim to help every student develop lasting skills, confidence, and a deep love for music.
