I build confidence and fill in the gaps. I tutor one to one, face to face where possible, or online. preferably in their own homes.
I have been coaching piano and Violin on and off since the nineties, I was taught by Burlingham school of music, (no longer exists but was run by Sally Burlingham Gwenifer Walsh, Patick O' Connell Diana Dunk, Rosalind Richards, Jennifer Merren, Michael Kahn, Jessica Haxworth, Beth Levy, Paul Roberts, and Andrew Wilde, I had a ten year gap between school and reviving fiddle lessons after i graduated.
i didn't get my grade 8s till after I graduated and in Classics, not Music,
I'm currently reading Revise music GCSE level and playing in Alderley Edge Symphony Orchestra.
I've had previous pupils get 4 merits in 5 years pre Covid, who either needed experience with an accompanist or had started from scratch.
I keep my prices manageable and for easy accounting. I live Holmes Chapel but I can get to the Knutsford end of Chester relatively easily. I've only ever wanted to be a peripatetic music teacher. I also like jazz and I listen mostly to Radio 2, though I had a classical up bringing including folk and pop music. i'v sung and played in large services at church, particularly for Remembrance Sunday and other uniformed services. I have also had organ lessons and can teach on electric piano as well as accoustic ones. I'm not a true organist, I still can't coordinate pedals but I'd like to learn more.
