What do you love most about your job?
I love watching my clients enjoying our work together and the improvement in their skills as it happens.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Music has always been a big part of my life and I was able to fulfil an ambition when I became a semi-professional musician in 2002. I recorded my first album and followed opportunities as they arose.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am totally committed to seeing my clients reach their full potential. I approach this by recognising that no two clients are the same and each should be treated with dignity, respect, individuality and patience.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I only provide my services on a face to face basis as I believe this to be the most beneficial way for clients to learn and most successfully for relationships to build.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Even before Covid-19 my clients' health and safety has been of paramount importance. If there is any potential issue which would compromise this I would take all necessary actions to uphold this commitment, even if it meant personal cost to myself.
Vocal coaching
singing lessons for beginners and intermediate levels.
Guitar tuition
Guitar lessons for beginners and intermediate levels.
English tuition
I can offer tuition in English Language up to GCSE level. This can include teaching children to read.
I am qualified to teach ages 5-16 in Christian schools.
Maths tuition
I can offer tuition in Maths for children up to GCSE level.
I am qualified to teach ages 5-16 in Christian schools.
Piano tuition
I have developed a course to help people learn to play piano in a completely organic and personal way without the need to read music. Piano can be played instinctively and naturally once you know the basics.
I have been using my methods on a personal basis for many years. I have passed these methods on to some of my children to great effect. I play keyboards in a band and also at my local church.
If you want to play and sound note for note like Mozart or Beethoven and work your way through grades then I am probably not the person you need. If however you want to learn to play real music quickly and allow for a creative, individual edge to your playing then my methods will be just for you.
