Daisy George

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.
