About the lesson

Fun, enthusiastic and patient music tutor, able to deliver online lessons. With a varied musical career myself, I'm a keen believer in making my lessons as wide-ranging as possible, whether mastering Mozart, conquering Coldplay, or perfecting those scales!

Online, or able to travel to students' homes in Tunbridge Wells area, or further afield for increased fee. Can also teach from home (just off Camden Road) for a reduced fee.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

I regularly teach students from ages 6-18, with a particular focus on beginners up to Grade 5 level. I also have experience teaching adults, and following a less conventional route than the graded path.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I have prepared students for ABRSM Practical exams (Grades 1-8), ABRSM Jazz Grade 1-5, as well as Music Theory Exams (mostly Grade 5 Theory). I am also able to prepare students for GCSE, A-Level or IB Music exams.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

I am fully setup for piano or music theory tuition online. I have a setup with multiple cameras to work over Skype. For theory, I also have access to online screen sharing software to work through exercises together.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Whilst there are vital practical and academic challenges posed by all areas of music, one of the most important things to remember is that music is meant to be fun! This is something that I am always thinking about in my lessons. I'm also a great believer in all-rounded musicianship, and try to use a range of techniques, including improvisation and playing by ear to develop this.

Chris taught me in preparation for my International Baccalaureate Higher Music exams, covering a wide range of topics including the set works, world music, music investigation and composition. His excellent and thorough teaching helped me attain 90% for composition, and excellent marks in other areas. Our lessons were engaging and stimulating, and flexible in format (face to face, via email etc.). I would highly recommend Chris as a teacher, and hope to continue to use his services in the future.

Chris taught my 15 year old daughter GCSE music over 5 intensive sessions. Music theory is not my daughter's strength - she is more a performer. So Chris had quite a challenge improve her theory from her E grade Mock. As she approaches exams she now feels confident and prepared. He has methodically and patiently revised the set works, practised past papers, and given her a thorough understanding of GCSE theory. I know my daughter found Chris a massive help - he's clearly a talented tutor/musician.

Chris taught Grade V Theory over four months to our rather unconfident 15 year-old son, who then passed with flying colours on his first attempt. Chris was easy to deal with and flexible on lesson timings, knew how to get the key points across in an understandable and memorable way, managed any anxiety and lack of confidence and got a great result.
