Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I offer tuition to students of all ages in a wide variety of styles and genres. I welcome both beginner and advanced students to take my lessons.
I graduated from Leeds College of Music in 2013 and have been performing, teaching and composing ever since. I have performed globally across multiple continents, as well as performing at a high level nationally, including West End performances, and performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
I have composed several different original scores for companies such as the BBC, and have also composed the original score for a feature film entitled 'Assassin' featuring Danny Dyer.
I have been teaching for nearly 10 years, and have a wide range of experience teaching different styles to different ages, including both private lessons and group lessons.
I like to make sure that all of my lessons are enjoyable as the best way to see progress in playing is to enjoy your lessons. Make sure to let me know what music you enjoy so I can include this in your lessons.
During my career I've achieved a wide range of things including being the Resident Musician, Shangri La Hotel, Hangzhou, Edinburgh Fringe Festival (performing in a show alongside Dara O Briain), Wild, Wild West Musical, Her Majesty's Theatre, London, Resident Musician, Intercontinental Hotel, Bahrain, British Summer Time Festival (performing on a bill alongside bands such as Elbow, Tears for Fears and The Killers), Brand Representative Rock Steady Music School & Composed original score, Assassin, featuring Danny Dyer.
I like to make sure my lessons are as enjoyable as possible for all of my students & I will create a lesson plan that suits your needs as a player & learner.
Oxford has a rich history of music and live performance and this is still something that can be experienced today. If you are looking to get started as a musician then there are plenty of music shops to chose from. here are my favourites.
PMT Oxford, is a great option to go too. They have a great selection of guitars and other instruments and the staff are always very warm and accommodating. They can be found on 381 Cowley Rd, Oxford OX4 2BS.
The Music Box, is a small independent music store that has everything from flutes to acoustic guitars and everything in between. They can be found on 53A Cowley Rd, Oxford OX4 1HP. I would also recommend this place if you are looking for a repair.
Allegro LTD, is the best place to go for everything classical. They can be found on 404 Marston Rd, Oxford OX3 0JE and have an amazing stock of pianos and woodwind instruments.
I'm a professional player and performer who can help you improve all aspects of your playing. I will make a personalised lesson plan in which you can learn about the music that you love as well as brush up on all the aspects of your playing you want to improve. These lessons are for you & will always be in a direction that you like.
[email protected]My lessons are charged at £18 per half hour and £32 per hour.
I currently take the majority of my lessons from my home teaching studio in the OX4 1SX area of Oxford.
