/ Faith B.
Hi, I’m Faith, a passionate classical double bass student currently studying at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Originally from West Yorkshire, I have had the privilege of playing as a sub-principal with the Opera North Youth Orchestra and am currently on a student placement with the National Children’s Orchestra, where I am developing valuable teaching skills.
I offer music lessons for students of all levels, from beginners to Grade 8, and also provide tutoring for GCSE Music, Grade 5 Theory, and A-Level Music. I hold A-Levels in both academic music and music technology, and I have experience helping students develop their musical understanding and performance skills. In addition to my classical training, I’m an experienced bass guitarist and regularly perform with a function band.
As someone who is dyslexic and dyspraxic, I understand the importance of adapting teaching methods to suit different learning styles. I have a unique perspective that helps me connect with students, especially those with additional needs, ensuring lessons are engaging, accessible, and tailored to individual strengths. Whether you're looking to improve your playing, prepare for exams, or simply enjoy making music, I’d love to support you on your musical journey!
I love teaching music to all ages and abilities! With the flute I like to focus on building the technical foundations so that you can then play the music you want to play! Building the foundations is crucial in developing a good sound and ability to play music on your own, giving you lots of joy in making music!
I have had over 5 years of teaching experience in the flute and I will teach from beginners to grade 8.
I also enjoy teaching music theory from beginners to grade 6 and will take on GCSE and A level music students if they are needing help to understand what is being taught in the classroom.
For exams I prepare pupils for ABRSM unless requested otherwise.
If you would like a lesson, please get in contact and I'd be happy to help!

Experienced musician, producer and mixing/recording engineer.
Recorded as a musician/producer in various studios around the world including Angel Studios, Ocean Sound Studios and Abbey Road. My journey in music started in performing, live and in the studio as a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist working with various bands and artists. Over time, I fell in love with recording and music production, leading to my decision to study at the Abbey Road Institute. Over the past 5 years I have produced or engineered recordings in various genres including pop, soul, folk, rock and jazz as I believe a degree of versality is important from both artistic and commericial considerations. I will teach you: *How to use DAWs like Logic Pro and Pro Tools, to record and mix music. *How (and when) to use different types of microphones and outboard gear. *How to use the phsyics behind sound when placing microphones or mixing tracks. *How to use tools such as EQs and Compressors as well as various effects *How acheive effective productions and clear mixes. *How use music theory to improve your arrangements. *How to get the tools you need without going out of budget. *And many other things...
E
Trumpet, Cornet, and Music Theory lessons in Ormskirk, UK.
She spends most of her time teaching others how to play the wide range of brass instruments that can be found in orchestras, brass bands and marching bands. For over 30 years she played in the 'Brighton and Hove City Brass' band where she started her musical career. This is not only a profession, but a hobby as well. Sian now plays in a ten piece ensemble 'Brass Fusion' performing with other 'ex bandsmen' on a casual, non-contesting, fun basis.
Although Sian primarily takes brass instrumental lessons, she does regularly run a theory class for all instrumentalists at one of the major schools. She also tries to cover basic theory points within her instrumental lessons as many players, not just brass, do not realise that once they obtain Grade Five practical they cannot move on until they have passed the Grade Five Theory exam. This can take quite a while if players have not covered any theory at all during their lessons. At present Sian has a 100% pass rate on all practical exams that her current students have taken.
Another string to her bow (!) is that she has run several recorder groups at one school as well as temporarily taking Year One music appreciation classes for a term. She also currently runs two brass ensembles at one of the major schools. Sian strives to help pupils obtain their graded examinations but at the same time keeping the playing fun and non pressured. The most important thing to her is that her pupils continue to enjoy playing and for it not to become a chore. To assist with the enjoyment of playing Sian runs a training band for anyone wishing to gain experience in group playing. All the terminology, harmony, sounds etc which are not experienced with individual lessons. The playing of 'non tune' parts where counting and listening are essential.
Sian is also Musical Director of one of the southern England's brass bands, where she regularly appears with them at local fetes, concerts, and garden parties. She is also a committee member for the Incorporated Society of Musicians.
I run a tutoring business catering for those students needing support with the following subjects:
GCSE - Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Economics and English.
A level - Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Economics.
I also tutor music theory for those wishing to gain entry to university that require the ABRSM music theory qualification.
The tutoring is designed with the individual student in need, so do get in contact and we cann discuss further.

I am a highly experienced teacher, performer, composer and arranger, living and working in beautiful East Devon. I love and play music of all kinds. Clarinet, Saxophone and Flute are my favourites, as nothing feels closer to the human voice.
After a first class BA in music and a PGCE that specialised in instrumental teaching, I have taught continuously in Devon schools and privately at home for over thirty years.
I offer relaxed lessons to all ages, primary to adult. I believe in an individual approach, following your interests, providing materials to suit, and sharing your love of music. As a performer, I have experience of classical, jazz, folk, pop, soul and rock, and I teach improvisation and ear skills alongside reading. I am fully familiar with the music curriculum and often support it in my lessons. I also offer a full external exam service where appropriate, using the Trinity College syllabus.
So If you're thinking about learning an instrument, or starting again after a break, don't delay.

Tutor Profile
I am a professional violinist, violist and conductor, studying for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge. As a Supervisor in the Faculty of Music, I teach undergraduate music students at Cambridge. I also teach conducting, violin, viola, and chamber music at the Saffron Walden Centre for Young Musicians in Essex. With over nine years of tutoring experience, I also offer private tuition in violin, viola, orchestral conducting, music, music theory, philosophy, history, essay and dissertation skills, english literature, classical civilisation and violin performance.
From the age of 17, I have taught violin and viola to a variety of students, ranging from children and adults beginning their studies, to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills.
Alongside my MPhil studies at Cambridge, in which I specialised in the cultural history and musical aesthetics of Germany and France in the Long Nineteenth Century, I began working as a freelance academic tutor, and taught Music, History, Philosophy, English Literature, Dissertation Skills, and Classics to A-Level Students. I have since developed two years’ experience, in which I have taught over 900+ hours of educational content with a diversity of tutoring organisations and online education platforms. I also have experience teaching in a classroom setting. I worked as an Assistant Music Teacher at a Sixth Form College, which involved teaching Music A-Level students. I have also worked with academic summer schools in Oxford to prepare Oxbridge hopefuls for their entrance examinations.
My academic expertise is strongest in the fields of the history of philosophy, the philosophy of music, and nineteenth-century music history. I am comfortable teaching both Violin and Viola, as well as Music, History, Philosophy and Writing Skills to final-year undergraduates. I also teach Classics and English Literature to a first-year undergraduate level, and I have intermediate reading skills in French.
Additional Professional Credentials – Violinist and Recording Musician
– I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films. Recent highlights include the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021).
Approach to Teaching
– I favour a structured approach to teaching. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. I also inform the design of my classes through a constructive dialogue with my students. This enables me to structure my lessons within a curriculum that meets my students' specific educational needs, and serves to enable my students to achieve tangible improvements in their academic performance and musical ability.
Academic Tuition
– My academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with.
– I employ a seminar style format, in which I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary which my students can use to develop essays, essay plans, revision tools, and exam revision packs.
– I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli.
– I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing short points of rest or temporary closure, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises.
Musical Performance
– Violin lessons tend to be carefully planned to focus on specific technical aspects of performance. To train musicality, I often teach this through the use of Kreutzer and Fiorillo etudes, Dont studies, and also pieces of repertoire catered to the student's musical interests and technical requirements.
– I am open to considering student repertoire suggestions if they are particularly passionate about a certain piece.
Lesson Structure
– Academic lessons tend to be 45–60 minutes in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed.
– Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters for a student's requirements.

As a dedicated tutor with over 10 years of experience in piano and music theory, I have a huge appreciation for the intricacies of music and its ability to enrich lives. My journey in teaching began with a passion for sharing the beauty of melody and harmony, guiding students through the elegant dance of keys and notes. Each lesson is structured not only to impart technical skills but also to inspire creativity and a genuine love for music in my students. Whilst I am expert in teaching the ABRSM curriculum, I am also happy to teach those curious to learn outside the realm of exams and structured pieces! In addition to my musical expertise, I have spent the past five years nurturing young minds in key stage 2 English and maths. I bring a patient and engaging approach to the lesson, recognising that every child learns at their own pace. My lessons are infused with interactive activities and relatable examples, making complex concepts accessible and enjoyable. Whether exploring the rhythms of a sonata or unraveling the mysteries of grammar and numbers, my goal is to empower my students with confidence and knowledge, setting them on a path to success.

One of the great joys of playing an instrument is to become able to capture the emotive force that the artistes you so admire can evoke.
Discover how they do it. What scales they use, how they create their sublime musical phrases, what their vibrato is like, what ornamentation they favour...
No doubt you want to get a foot in the door fast.
Learn some power chords and play along with your favourite records in the first lesson.

French concert pianist, graduate from Royal College of Music of London.
I've always loved sharing my knowledge and experience, as much as sharing my music on stage with the audience.
I am very careful of always put the student's wishes and thoughts in priority, while finding the right balance between work and enjoyment.
Even though I focus on performing, I have been teaching privately for 8 years now, as I always had a passion of teaching and sharing my passion and everything I've learned with Piano Masters for 20+ Years !
I am very patient, comprehensive, I always try my best to adapt find the right approach and technical tools to help the student in the best way possible.
I take extra care in making sure the musician likes what he is playing, wants to work on it, really understand his strong and weak points, his objectives, and organise my work around it.
I'm also really open in alternative repertoire, and non-conventional pieces, because I'm convinced that you can make a lot of progress working on any type of music, not just the exam or "traditional" classical repertoire.
If you have a music in mind that you dream of playing, don't hesitate to let me know and I will find a score suitable for your abilities, or if it doesn't exist, I will create one !
I'm looking forward to help you achieve your goals and make good music together !
