teacher level: £20 per hour"They had learned in a couple of hours what I had spent months trying to teach them, by experiencing the way it should be done, as demonstrated by a master...detailed verbal instructions are rarely as effective as experience" - Gallwey, The Inner Game of Music, London 1987:146
I teach skills in overall musicianship rather than only 'ticking the boxes and passing the grades'. In my practical teaching of the instrument, I implement as appropriate, performance skills, dealing with performance nerves, stage presence and aural awareness. References to these skills early in musical education, which is sometimes overlooked by teachers of beginner pupils, allow tutees to develop these at a noticeably more advanced level in the future - this I have seen in huge degrees during my private and school-teaching experience.
Overall, the teaching must be tailored to what the tutees wish to gain. Some tutees do not wish to take exams on all or any of their instruments, however, progress should still be made. My style of teaching is entirely positive, encouraging and tutee-centred. I am very used to communicating with tutees and parents and I am willing to provide groups lessons upon request.
Availability: I am available evenings and weekends and all school holidays.
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: I have been a private tutor for five years and have taught beginners, advanced players, children and adults on the flute, piano and oboe. I am teaching instrumental lessons as part of my current teaching position. I have been involved in, lead and co-lead numerous choirs, woodwind ensembles and wind-bands.
I am now a secondary school teacher of Music and Performing Arts as well as a private tutor.
