Thomas - Edinburgh tutor





Thomas's profile picture

Information About Thomas:


Personal Description:

I am a music graduate who has previously obtained an A grade at A level English.
I work now as a self-employed musician, peripatetic music teacher and graphic/web designer.



Teaching Experience:

I have taught flute at all levels and teach music (specifically folk based) at local primary schools. I have taught at various specialist summer schools across the UK and Ireland and at Newcastle University. As well as general music I specialise in folk/traditional and offer 1:1 tuition on flute, voice (folk) and guitar. I also work within computer graphics and have 15 years of computer/I.T. experience.



Tutoring Approach:

As I was largely self-taught I favour a fairly modern approach to learning. With music this tends to focus on learning aurally and building confidence (especially in performance) I am well versed in technical details of all of my subjects and am happy to verse my self fully in any syllabus before meeting pupils. I aim to teach this alongside more contemporary methods of learning.
