About

About

I am a very experienced teacher and performer having over 30 years experience of both. I have been teaching in schools for Essex Music Services for 15 years and have taught privately since 1989. I teach a wide variety of styles and I am happy to teach all ages from beginner to advanced. I enjoy teaching the Rockschool grades as well as teaching people who just want to learn for pleasure. Some students enjoy a mix of both during their lessons. I am able to offer lessons online and face to face and can travel to your home so that you can learn in your own environment or you can come to my home in Writtle for lessons if you so choose. I have played on some of the biggest stages in the country and can teach performance as well as the more technical side of playing. I also enjoy teaching students for their performances at GCSE and A level, I have a vast amount of experience with this teaching at secondary schools all over Essex. Rockschool pieces can be used as performance pieces in both examinations.

  • Teaching Style: Consider if their teaching style aligns with your learning preferences. Some teachers offer trial lessons which can be a good opportunity to assess compatibility.
  • Specialisations: Check if the teacher specializes in the instrument or musical genre you are interested in. Specialised teachers can offer more in-depth knowledge and techniques.
