Over 10 years' experience performing and recording for multiple artists across the Pop and Jazz scenes, including Years & Years, Mark Owen, Amaarae, Jas Kayser and Tom Ford, as well as producing and releasing own music on Brace Yourself Records. Multiple performances in world-renowned venues and festivals such as Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, London Jazz Festival, KOKO, Pukklepop, Mighty Hoopla, SXSW and many more. As well as my extensive performance experience, as a professional musician I also have the knowledge and experience in the many aspects of running a business including; booking gigs, liaising with venues and festivals, managing social media, promoting events, creating advertisements, studio recording, video editing, photo editing, managing finances and budgets, funding applications, travel arrangements and general networking. I'm a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music Jazz Performance Bachelor's Degree, and a vast amount of my experience centres around improvised music, including Jazz, Afrobeat, Soul, Pop, Rock, RnB and more. Through 1-1 lessons and masterclasses, I’ve catered to students of varying ages and skill levels, both privately and at educational centres such as The World Heart Beat Music Academy. I have demonstrated proficiency in covering a comprehensive range of musicality aspects, ensuring a well-rounded education for my students. I have designed and implemented sessions that encompass various elements of musical training, including aural skills development, sight reading, improvisation, composition, solo performance, and group performance. In 1-1 sessions, I've honed in on refining aural training, instrumental technique and sight reading skills, tailoring exercises to suit individual learning styles. Beyond individual instruction, I've extended my teaching expertise to conducting Masterclasses and group sessions. Notably, I've had the honour of leading Masterclasses for esteemed institutions such as the Royal Academy of Music, RAM Junior Jazz Club, Future Sounds Live, Ronnie Scott's Charitable Foundation and New Generation Jazz. In these sessions, I've witnessed firsthand the benefits of group learning, where students not only gain insights from me but also guide and inspire each other. Group settings provide a unique platform for collaborative learning, fostering a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. Students learn not only to refine their individual skills but also to thrive in a band setting, culminating in collective performances that enhance their stage presence and overall musicality. As well as my experience as a Musician and Music Teacher, I have in-depth experience as a SEN specialised teaching assistant, and music session coordinator, working with primary aged SEN students to create fun and inclusive 1-1 and small group music sessions.

Originally from Toulouse, France, I began my musical journey at a young age studying flute, piano, and singing at the Conservatoire de Toulouse. At 12, I discovered the bassoon and was immediately drawn to its unique and expressive sound, which inspired me to pursue it professionally. I later trained in France before moving to London to complete a Master’s degree in Orchestral Artistry at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where I am now a Junior Fellow. This combination of teaching and performing training has shaped both my playing and my approach to teaching. Teaching has always been a central part of my musical life. I currently teach at Queen Elizabeth’s School for Boys alongside offering private lessons in bassoon, piano, and music theory. I have several years of experience working with students of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to advanced players, including those preparing for concerts, exams, and auditions. I aim to create a friendly, supportive, and student-centred learning environment where everyone feels comfortable progressing at their own pace. I tailor each lesson to the individual, whether that means building strong foundations for beginners, supporting steady progress through graded exams, or refining technique and musical expression at a more advanced level. I am also experienced in teaching students with additional learning needs and am committed to creating an inclusive and adaptable learning space. My goal is always to help students build confidence, develop independence, and enjoy making music in a way that feels rewarding and motivating. Alongside one-to-one teaching, I regularly coach chamber music ensembles, helping students develop listening skills, ensemble awareness, and confidence playing with others. I really enjoy this aspect of teaching, as it brings together communication, teamwork, and creativity. As a performer, I have worked with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Opéra National de Bordeaux, and Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse. This allows me to bring insight into professional playing standards into my teaching, particularly for students considering music at a higher level. I am also a founding member of the CATIL Quintet and co-founder of the Reed’iculous Two duo, and I regularly take part in performances and educational workshops. These experiences continue to inspire my teaching and help me keep lessons engaging and varied. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time, working through ABRSM grades, or looking to take your playing further, I offer structured, engaging lessons tailored to your goals, from beginner to advanced level.

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. Qualifications: BA Honours Music (Jazz), Leeds College of Music
