Thomas - Rochester tutor






Information About Thomas:


Personal Description:

Im 22 ive been playing Piano since i was 6yrs old, Mostly self taugh in my early years, I skipped the entire grading process since i didnt have access to a teacher during time i was going from grade1-8 standard. Now that i am post grade 8 standard i have little need to partake in such formalitys.

I do however have a HND Distinction in Music Performance. I plan to top this up to a full degree within the next couple of years. I play a mixture of Classical,Baroque,Romantic,Ragtime and early jazz (1920-1940 period) I also can teach any contemporary still such as rock/pop or blues. I Also have a very steady grasp of both Classical and Jazz theory.



Teaching Experience:

Ive Been Teaching piano and theory part time for about 18months now as a way to earn extra money whilst saving up some funds for university. I teach generally Children,teenagers, and adult hobbyists. I do not have access to grading or exam boards though if your just looking for general musicianship skills and a patient/friendly tutor, thats basically the service i provide



Tutoring Approach:

I very much aim to compromise between what the student wants to learn and some other knowledge that i feel will help them. I always aim to teach my students basic sight reading skills and theory. Or more advanced theory depending on the pupils age and attention/intrests. I normally give 1hour lessons though, depending on the pupils needs and age, 45mins or 30min lessons can be easily negociated.I am also willing to teach music theory online if thats what is required.
