I like to base my lessons around the passions and ambitions of my students. My expertise are in jazz, blues, soul and the intersecting areas of contemporary music. I always encourage my students to harness their imaginations and to find that balance between developing core competencies and developing their own sound. You will find that I am an easy going teacher, much more supportive and affirmative than many others and I love to see my students grow into their passions.
If you are a student who wants a deeper connection to jazz and contemporary music, finding those inherent tensions where structured concepts and theory meet with philosophical challenges then I am most definitely the tutor for you. Being a good tutor means having relevant experience, communication skills and and open mind. A good tutor will always be learning alongside and from their students and the reciprocity of this exchange is what builds the unique structure of my approach.
While I have a huge amount of experience that provide pre-figured lessons for students who may wish for initial directions, I prefer to always be guided in my lesson plans based upon what my students are feeling session by session. It is my job to be responsive to your needs and to use my experience to ensure that you are always taking steps towards actualisation, even if you prefer to change study matter week by week.
I look forward to hearing from you all. If you have any questions or queries, please get in touch with me at with 'tutor queries' as the subject of your email.
