I take students of all ages - from primary school age through to senior citizens.

Music has always been a cornerstone in my life – I began playing the violin a few months before turning 4, and piano lessons followed shortly after. By the age of 12, I had progressed through all of ABRSM’s 8 grades on both instruments and had mastered an extensive repertoire of European and Middle Eastern folk music.

It was at this time that I also picked up the guitar. Having no teacher, I turned to jamming along with the radio, learning every song on my favourite stations’ rotations until I could play anything the DJ threw at me.

This set me on a path of trying to learn all the things that the grade syllabus didn’t teach – how to explore music for myself, and how to develop my own playing style and personality.
Music has taken me to all sorts of places: from playing at the House of Commons to smoky rock bars halfway across Europe. And now, it’s an adventure that I want others to experience too.

Availability: Slots available in the afternoon/evening on Monday and Thursday - currently only accepting students who are able to come to me.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have experience teaching people of diverse backgrounds and age groups, all of whom had a variety of different goals. The diverse situations I have found myself in include: brushing up the acoustic guitar skills of gigging singer-songwriters, helping classical musicians adapt their style to fit into a rock/pop band, starting primary school-age children off in their first steps towards music theory and classical piano.
