If you understand music, you can enjoy it! You love your favourite pieces of music - but there’s probably a lot of music that you don’t like. Whether you know it or not, you understand the music you love, just like you understand what someone is saying in English. Well, you can learn to understand other music - jazz, baroque classical, Indian music, anything! - and once you understand it, you might find you love what it has to say. Let’s discover some surprising new favourites! There's lots of mystery surrounding music - why does that bit of your favourite song make your hair stand up on end? Why are some songs good for dancing and others make you feel sad? What on earth is 'free jazz'?? Well, none of these questions need to go unanswered - we can explore them together. Hi, my name is Haniell. I'm 28 years old and I love music! It became my favourite subject at school when I was taking my GCSEs, and I carried on studying it - eventually I got an MA in Musicology from King's College London. I started playing music 20 years ago, and I play guitar, piano, bass, I sing and I write my own music. I really enjoy talking to people who are interesting in learning more about music. Whatever you want to know - whatever questions you have about music, whatever you don't understand, whatever fascinates you - I want to know, and we can talk and learn about it. I can help with GCSE, A-level and undergraduate courses in music theory, history and composition. The syllabuses you're working through can sometimes be intimidating, but they don't need to be. Whatever you're curious about, we can start there, and pick up all you need to learn along the way. I believe that feeling of curiosity is the best place to start when you're trying to learn something new. Together, we can put together an approach tailored to you - something that, understandably, your teachers and lecturers don't have time for. GCSE and iGCSE: AQA, OCR, Eduqas/WJEC, Edexcel/Pearson, Cambridge. AS and A-level: AQA, OCR, Eduqas/WJEC, Edexcel/Pearson.

***I am currently at capacity and not accepting new students at this time*** I am an Engineering PhD student at the University of Manchester specialising in material science and metallurgy. I hold an integrated masters degree in Physics from Durham University and achieved A*/A*/A/B in my A level exams in Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Music. I have been tutoring since 2019 and have experience from teaching from GCSE to university level and have also tutored adult learners looking to become mature students. My lessons are conducted online, and I will spend our first 15 minute meeting getting to know you and how I can best help you achieve your goals. Subsequent lessons will be tailored to the student, focusing on either learning new concepts, revision, practising exam technique or a combination of all three. As the student, you guide which topics we cover but I will offer advice if you are unsure as to what would be beneficial. As a current student myself, my sessions have a relaxed atmosphere and rather than having a 'teacher' I am more like a peer mentor. I am well acquainted with a variety of specifications, including international qualifications. In my spare time, I am a keen musician, playing the cello with multiple university orchestras and singing in one of the choirs. I also enjoy learning languages including German, French and Russian.

Hi! I'm Collette and I've been teaching ever since the age of 16, when I began teaching music lessons to local children, during my A levels, as my school music teacher recommended me to them. I think what my pupils and students enjoy most about my lessons is how much they are treated as individuals; I tailor my teaching to suit the personality and strengths of the learner. I believe everyone has different strengths - my job is to find out what these are, and use them to build the learner's confidence and enthusiasm for whatever they are trying to achieve. Parents repeatedly report that their child's general wellbeing and confidence is hugely benefitted by my approach to their lessons. I achieved all grades up to and including Grade 8 Distinction piano then ABRSM Advanced Certificate piano, plus Grade 8 Merit classical guitar (and many Distinctions in previous grades) as a child. After school, I studied in London, graduating from King's College, London with a BMus (Hons) Music Degree (with piano lessons at Royal Academy of Music, London) and then a Primary PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate of Education teaching qualification) from the Institute of Education, London (part of University College London). I've taught in a wide variety of capacities to children and adults, throughout my career, both face-to-face and, over the last few years, online, including: mainstream primary, nursery and pre school teaching; specialist music classroom teaching; peripatetic music lessons; home-based music lessons (piano, classical guitar, theory, beginner singing) and school tutoring; TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teaching to homestay and online students. Please contact me if you would like further information. I am extremely adaptable in my one-to-one/small group teaching, and will always guide students in an encouraging and kind manner. As a mum to an 18 year old, I also know what parents and children need from their tutor. So, whether you are 4 or 94, I will be happy to help you achieve your potential. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

With over 12 years of experience in teaching, I have worked with students of all levels, including those with special learning needs such as visual impairments, ADD, dyslexia and more. My approach is patient, enthusiastic, and relatable, ensuring that lessons are both enjoyable and effective. I have a strong track record of helping students achieve outstanding results, with some progressing from predicted Level 4/5 to Level 8/9 in GCSE Maths within just two months. Many of my students have also gained admission into prestigious schools, including Latymer, City of London, HABS, and NLCG. Despite my academic background being in music—earning a First-Class BMus (Hons) from City University London, followed by postgraduate at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (MMus Perf) and a second MMus qualification from Goldsmiths University, London - my specialism in tutoring remains in Maths. I aim to teach in an adaptable and accessible way, inspiring students to love learning in the way that is right for them. The most important thing for me as a teacher is that my students are enjoying themselves whilst learning and working hard to overcome challenges they may face.

I am a qualified academic and practical musician, and English tutor. I specialise in SEN. I have proven results, with my students averaging an increase of two grade boundaries and 100% achieving A*-B results. My academic background means that I enjoy teaching the theoretical side of music alongside practical music making - and ensure good grades are obtained at primary level, through to GCSE and A Level. I have experience teaching and leading in a range of settings, from one-to-one instrument lessons to group coaching to sectional conducting. This has taken place privately, in a prestigious public school and with the BBC Proms (among others). I offer rehearsal and recital accompaniment and coaching, as well as performance exams preparation sessions covering aural and sight-reading tests. I am also available for proof reading or editing of essays, UCAS applications and job applications. I am an enthusiastic, young tutor and have experience working with people of all ages and abilities. I enter at the student's level and create engaging content to encourage rapid progression. I am personable and patient with an understanding, and personal experience of, additional needs - with proven effective strategies. I believe it is my duty as an artistic citizen to contribute to the provision of arts and humanities education, and I love working with students to provide them with the tools to enable them to achieve their goals.

I am a professional music teacher, performer and writer based in St Albans. I teach music history, theory, musicianship, analysis and university preparation at the Purcell School, the oldest specialist music school in the UK. In addition, I hold a doctoral fellowship in Musicology at the Juilliard School, New York City. I focus on fostering enthusiasm for the craft of music in all students, irrespective of age or ability. My experience ranges from teaching near-beginners to advanced/undergraduate level. For my younger/lower-level students I create a rounded, multi-faceted approach that focuses on accessibility, discovery and freedom, treating every musical skill as feeding into one another, rather than being treated as discrete elements. With my advanced students I encourage them to penetrate deeper into the music that they are studying; to consider and discover aspects of music history and context; to broaden their listening and musical experiences to include a variety of different genres and styles. Whether the student be at a beginner or advanced level, I try to tailor the programme and pace of study holistically to each student's needs, rather than being governed by examination schedules and syllabi. If my students show an interest in a particular style, genre, composer or artist, or perhaps if I believe that a specific piece, melody or song will most effectively open the door to a new topic or area of study, I will try to incorporate those into my tuition. Being a tutor requires a high level of organisation and time management, and I rigorously apply these principles to every aspect of my professional life. Keeping detailed records of a pupil's progress and trajectory is very important, as is maintaining active lines of communication via the relevant procedures. After graduating from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University with a Double First Class degree in Music, I undertook postgraduate study in Clarinet Performance at the Royal Academy of Music, graduating with highest honours and the prestigious DipRAM.

My name's Harry, I'm a second year music student studying at Goldsmiths University of London and I'm loving it. I started helping my friend learn the guitar 6 years ago, which sparked my passion for tutoring music / guitar. After gaining more pupils over time I started to build an established following as a teacher in my area. I believe everyone's creative side flourishes at different times to others. I am happy to teach at which ever time suits the student, enabling them to gain more out of the lesson and let me more information sink in comfortably. I play the guitar, drums, bass and I sing (although my first instrument is Guitar) I achieved my grade 8 when I was 14, since then I've been teaching to people of all ages, from as young as 4 to as young as 64! I can teach any style, from acoustic, to jazz, to blues, to metal. I can also offer songwriting guidance, coach people how to perform, deal with issues faced with performing and nerves. I can also prepare my pupils to play live shows, and introduce them to a range of opportunities to play around London. I grouped together 3 students a few years ago, taught them a song and allowed them to perform it live in front of audience. I also offer guidance on Rockschool Grades up to any grade. I'm 20 years old, and have been playing music since I was 10, sharing my knowledge and experience is something I love to do. Moving to London has helped me gain more students and I'm loving it, seeing something "click" with a student is a moment I always remember. I play in bands of my own, along side being a member of another. I have played many shows around London, been on BBC Introducing Radio, Eagle Radio and appeared on TV for London Live on Sky 117 with Old Swing. Other than indulging in musical activities, I enjoy surfing, cooking and running.

People tell me I come over as a friendly, intelligent, supportive tutor who helps students fulfil their potential. I have nearly 30 years' experience tutoring and teaching learners of all ages, from kindergarten to adult education; in sixth form colleges and on graduate courses, in state, private and home schooling environments. Unlike many recent graduates who take up tutoring, I don't do it as a stopgap to pay off a student loan. For me, it is a passion. I love what I do - and bring a wealth of experience and creative strategies to the learning environment. My approach is based on an integrated approach to the liberal arts, particularly the Trivium of Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric. I firmly believe in a sound foundation of logic, grammar and rhetoric as the basis for a disciplined approach to developing understanding, wisdom and enlightenment. And I encourage learning through the nurturing of natural inquisitiveness, confidence building, developing an eagerness for discovery. I take a holistic approach to dealing with students who appear unmotivated to learn, or have been put off learning by uninspiring teachers. I have several teaching qualifications, but the main core of my teaching is my integrated liberal arts approach. I am a parent as well as an educationalist and understand the frustrations parents sometimes have with an increasingly regimented schooling system, as well as the challenges that teachers face within that system. I aim to provide practical solutions that empower children to cope with learning both within and without the school environment. My approach is rooted in sound educational practice, has grown through a wealth of experience and is nurtured with a good dose of common sense. It is organic and constantly evolving. My key specialist subjects are English which I cover to degree level and Reasoning, based on Classical Logic. I also cover Maths up to GCSE level, and have also tutored students at KS2 and KS3 levels in Essay-based subjects such as History, Geography, and Social Studies and provided revision support for students across subjects for Common Entrance. I have built a reputation for helping students achieve offers from top schools such as Eton, Westminster, Winchester, and others.

First few sessions will be an assessment of your current level, and we will go from there. I also have diploma-level experience in Music and A-level experience in Music theory.
