Your Music. Your Tutor. Your Way.

Classical Guitar, Electric Rock Guitar, Electric Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Classical Piano, Double Bass

Professional musician (live performer and teacher) based in London. I have been teaching bass guitar (all levels), guitar (beginners), double bass (beginners), music theory/harmony (all levels), music ensemble for 9 years. My study plan includes all you need to improve your skills with the bass guitar, either if you are starting from no knowledge of music, or if you are an experienced player looking forward to pass grades, exams, auditions, etc. In 1-2-1 lessons we'll cover the basic technique of the instrument (and later on advanced techniques as slap and pop, playing with a pick, palm muting, etc.), aural/ear training, solfeggio, studying and playing lots of songs (covering different music styles like jazz, pop, rock, funk, reggae, fusion, soul, blues, R&B, gospel), reading music sheets (treble and bass clef), study of walking bass lines and famous bass riffs, recording and analysing your bass lines, music theory/harmony, scales and arpeggios, composition of melodies, etc. First things to work on for a bass player are timing (ability to keep time accurately) and tone (how you produce sound and how it can change about the positioning of your hands and fingers). Guitar: I like to transform all my musical knowledge in simple steps that anyone can understand and follow even if they are new to the music language and have never played an instrument. If the student is really young, my approach will be more playful and easygoing but still following a method and exercises, with the goal to play from the first lesson easy melodies and then whole songs.

During and since completing my Bmus in popular music (electric guitar) and Classical guitar (ABRSM diploma) I have had over 10 years experience working and tutoring kids and adults in an educational setting. From this I have learned that patience, enthusiasm and organisation are key to getting the best out of a person. I have also taught both adult and child students with a range of special needs on the Electric Guitar, Ukulele, Bass Guitar, Classical Guitar as well as Music Theory, so am easily adaptable to the various challenges and professional circumstances that can arise when tutoring people from a variety of backgrounds. Notable achievements: I have performed on bass, acoustic and electric guitar on the O2 tour, supporting Rita Ora, Chipmunk, Tinchy Styder, Rudimental, Noissettes, Sway and Mystery Jets.

As a pianist I have performed extensively in Italy, Germany, the UK, France, China/Taiwan, in prestigious venues such as the Shanghai Mao Livehouse and Les Invalides in Paris. I am academically and classically trained but throughout my career I developed a very diverse musical background, which enables me to teach, perform and compose in a wide variety of styles, from classical and contemporary to pop-rock and recent trends. I perform regularly as a pop-rock pianist/keyboardist. I have written works for theatre and dance and my chamber, choral, orchestral and electronic musical pieces have been performed in various parts of the UK, Italy, Germany and China/Taiwan.
