Private one-to-one ‘cello, singing,  guitar and piano lessons in Streatham Hill. DBS checked.

From being a chorister at Westminster Abbey to playing  ‘cello sessions for various London bands, I’ve been a musician for most of my life. As a self-taught finger-pick guitarist I have been writing and recording for over twenty years. My musical influences are broad and varied which helps me to respond and adapt to my students differing tastes and requirements.

Having started my two sons off on guitar and piano (the eldest is now studying at Trinity College of Music) I have since taught a variety of students ranging  in age from 5 to 65 .

I believe an open-minded and relaxed attitude is essential in both tutor and tutee. A desire to produce a nice sound is more important than clinical technique in order for pupils, especially new ones, to really engage and enjoy making music. Naturally the lessons will be tailored to the pupil’s individual tastes and ability, and if I think they would be better served elsewhere I will say so.

Lessons are conducted on a one to one basis at my home in Streatham Hill.
