Personal Description:

My name is Christian.

I'm a professional musician, and have 15 years experience working as a piano teacher. I teach Jazz, Classical, Rock and Pop, and Theory. Playing music just about the most fun thing a person can do and my goal is to bring that joy to my lessons.

I attended King's College London, where I studied classical music and achieved a 1st Class (Hons) Degree.

I am a busy gigging musician and mostly play jazz. I have performed at some of London's most prestigious venues including The Royal Festival Hall, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, and the 606 Jazz Club. I have performed on Cerys Matthew's BBC 6 Music show live from Maida Vale Studios and performed at festivals such as WOMAD and Wilderness.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been working as a private piano, and music tutor for 15 years, helping students achieve their personal goals, success with their ABRSM and Trinity instrumental exams, and their desired GCSE and A Level Results.
I also worked as a peripatetic teacher in a secondary school (Bishop Thomas Grant School) for three years before deciding to make my teaching practice entirely private. While at the school I taught piano, I also tutored GCSE and A Level students through their exams. I also ran the school's jazz band throughout my tenure where I taught jazz, ensemble, and improvisational skills to students on many different instruments.

Tutoring Approach:

I will work with you to come up with a teaching plan that will best suit you. I am very open to all musical styles so will make sure that the material we are covering is always the music you want to be learning!

If you or your child would like to pursue grades with ABRSM or Trinity exam boards, you will be pleased to know that my students have had a 100% success rate, with many achieving merit or distinction.
