my teaching experience . . .
I’m a professional pianist/keyboard player based in Barnet. I have been teaching for 20 years in schools that are have very highly-regarded music departments (Purcell School, Latymer, Bedales, Queen Elizabeth’s, St Marylebones, York Minster). I have always managed to inspire my students no matter what level they are at. I have had advanced students and also total beginners from ages 6 to 70 so far.
jazz piano tuition . . .
'Jazz' to me incorporates many styles, old and new from early swing through Latin to Gospel, Hip Hop/R n B. It simply gives you the tools and insight into learning how chords work together and how to structure a piece, learned or improvised. I enjoy teaching any aspect of improvised or 'modern' music.
• I can teach you to 'pick tunes out by ear' and understand how the music works (harmony, structure)
• Do you already play but wish to improve jazz/pop/blues knowledge? I teach jazz harmony helping you to get those juicy sounding chords and hit a few more 'right ??' notes
• Are you an advanced player and have specific questions relating to to certain aspects? I have an extremely effective method of teaching that incorporates harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic aspects and I tailor it to suit your needs, whether it may be learning your favorite pop or rock song, or want to play jazz/latin or more modern electronic music.
• I have a wide range of free resources to help you on your journey (charts, audio, backing-tracks)
• I can introduce you to Konokol Indian system of developing your rhythm. Powerful and fun! "Takita Takita Takita Takadimi!"
• If you are interested I can help with Music Technology, Production, Synth-programming and using music software such as Logic , Mainstage and Sibelius on Mac or Cubase and Sibelius on PC. I teach synth programming and own some real analog hardware synths including a Roland MKS80, Juno 60 and Moog Little Phatty.
