Music production lessons in Liverpool

Hi, I'm Tristan. I'm an easy-going guy who believes that happiness and enjoyment is the key to becoming a good musician. These are the things which inspire the passion and dedication required to learn an instrument. That and the right amount of encouragement to propel my students forwards. I have been teaching peripatetically in primary schools since September 2023 and have had various other private students along the way so I have diverse teaching experience. I have been playing music all my life and I would say that music is my life. When I am not tied up with professional engagements, I am making music with several of my friends who feel the same way I do about music. Through all my years playing in an array of contexts, I have insights from all sides of European music which I am keen to share and make other people’s musical dreams come true, like mine have many times over now. I am a working Liverpool musician who has a Postgraduate Research Degree specializing in Music from the University of Liverpool. I have been playing in bands (of many diverse genres), orchestras, chamber ensembles, and pit bands for all of my adult life and most of my adolesence. I have a classical background, learning the violin from the age of three but I learned the bass guitar out of love for rock and roll. I have both breadth and depth of experience in many aspects of live performance, rehearsal, practice and how to function well in ensembles of all different types. I have been hired for my services by covers bands, Jazz bands, solo artists, string quartets and orchestras both in live settings and inside studios. With regards to production, I have a portfolio of works I am credited as producer, engineer and session musician on, starting with my first recorded work: an EP recorded in my gap year with a friend to a critically aclaimed Progressive Rock album “Impermenance” for Dominic Sanderson which has featured multiple times in Prog Magazine and has achieved international recognition. I have studied Production modules during my music degree and have built on my formal instruction working with like-minded musicians to take my own production to the next level by always working on a project, personal or otherwise. When it comes to teaching, I prefer to build an informal raport with my students so that both they and I feel comfortable learning together. Music is as much about learning about humanity and emotion as it is learning about the technical operation of an instrument and the development of musical instincts and the the teacher student relationship is of paramount importance to good development. I do not believe puting pressure on students to progress is the right way forward and that encouragement and positive re-enforcement is what will make a student excell. Progress is always better made by students who want to progress rather than by students who are coerced. In the same way, I believe that each sudent’s mind is different and a teacher must be equipped with several different ways of teaching something. With regards to this, I offer to teach either official syllabus’ from established exam boards or I am happy to tailor make lessons for each student as I myself have had difficulty being stuffed into the mould of what an exam board thinks is a good musician. In the lessons themselves, there are a few main elements I focus on in order to make up what I believe to be good musicianship: -Technical proficiency: knowing how to mechanically operate and navigate one’s instrument -Theoretical understanding: How and why things happen inside a song or piece of music and what bearing this has upon you the performer -Musical Instincts: Being able to trust one’s own ear or sense of rhythm independently and apply these to different contexts -Personal Practice: How to practice efficiently, mindfully and even when practice might do more harm than good -History and Genre: Using historic and social context to understand music and how to authentically reproduce performance, or indeed have a different take on a piece altogether -Gear: Understanding what instruments or products are going to be most helpful and meaningful for your purposes and how to maintain and look after your gear.

From Gosport, Hampshire, Myles Tyrrell is a classically trained pianist and organist, who is massively passionate about music and the piano, delivering high quality, professional and friendly 1:1 lessons both in Liverpool, nationally, and internationally. Myles is in high demand as an educator, teaching both across the UK and internationally to students in the US, Italy and France. Pedagogically, Myles specialises in working with neurodivergent students (ADHD & Autism) and students that suffer from performance anxiety. Myles runs regular workshops for piano (and occasionally organ) for his students, with end of term concerts and other events to help pianists and musicians meet up and play together in a musical, supportive community. Discovering a passion for music making from an early age, Myles studied piano, clarinet and in the years that followed, Myles began organ lessons with Geoffrey Holroyde (ARCO) and became the organ scholar at Holy Trinity Church, Gosport on the newly restored Handel organ, whilst accompanying various choirs around the town, and getting involved with local art projects. Moving to Southampton in 2014 to read French and Music, studying piano under the tutelage of Duncan Honeybourne (HonRBC, tutor at the Royal Academy of Music Junior Academy) and David Owen Norris (FSA, professor at the Royal College of Music). Myles began working freelance in the city, playing for St. Deny's and St. Barnabas Church, and started teaching piano and music theory. He moved to France as part of the Erasmus Project in 2017. Whilst there, he was tutored on the organ at La Cathédrale de Rennes, whilst accompanying the university mixed and all-female choirs, co-leading local ensembles, specialising in piano pedagogy for adults and children. Myles also specialised in medieval musicology (organum de Notre Dame), whilst also undertaking courses in translation for the European Commission. This tied in nicely with his performance major of French women composers, specialising in the works of Lili Boulanger, Cécile Chaminade, and Louise Farrenc. Upon his return to the UK, Myles became the Michael James Organ Scholar at Romsey Abbey and the Southampton University Organ Scholar at St. Michael's Church, and started to set up his private tuition studio in earnest, whilst starting to perform in the UK for private events. ​ After graduating, Myles started working for the Southampton Music Service as a peripatetic piano and clarinet teacher, whilst teaching freelance in and around the city. At the age of 22, Myles became the Director of Music at St. James Church West End, and joined the committee for the Winchester and District Association of Organists. He was the Conductor for The Woodside Singers from 2019-2020 before the pandemic hit. After the lockdowns had ended, Myles started working with the Welsh National Opera's Youth and Community Outreach in Southampton, encouraging young children to take their first steps into singing and story-telling through music, to rebuild their confidence and sense of self whilst exposing them to the world of opera. He also works as a visiting accompanist and répétiteur for WNO across the UK. ​ In January 2022 he stepped down from his directorship at St. James, in order to devote more time to the ever-growing private studio (which now sits at a membership of ~60 people of all ages and abilities). Myles performs regularly around the UK for a mixture of private functions and concerts. Myles has performed at a variety of venues such as SS Great Britain, the Royal Albert Hall, Turner Sims, Thornden Hall, and surprisingly, in a field surrounded by cows for a rural wedding (they are a fan of moo-sic, after all...). He also regularly supplies workshops and masterclasses to ensembles such as Wessex Chorus. Myles is an active member of the Musician's Union and an avid supporter of Music for Youth. He is also part of the Liverpool Organist and Choirmaster's Association, and is part of the European Piano Teacher Association's (EPTA) UK branch, getting involved in local and national EPTA competitions and events.

I have Grades, a National Diploma, a HNC and I’ve studied a BA Honours in Music at the University of Salford. I play Rock, Jazz, Classical and Pop in their broadest terms as my main styles, and have been a member of several bands playing and singing all of these various styles. I’ve performed at both serious gigs and ones for fun; whilst touring extensively around the U.K. - my own music could be said to have all these influences infused with a few more. I’m currently travelling around the North West playing acoustically, mainly singing covers with the backing of two separate agencies. I am also a professional Music Teacher, in a professional Music School and also privately with my own client-base. I specialise in guitar, voice and bass guitar.
