Sam - Leeds tutor






Information About Sam:


Personal Description:

After specialising in jazz piano at Leeds College of Music until this Summer, I now wish to pass on the knowledge I acquired to as many others as I can. I have played piano from the age of 6, jazz, blues & rock from the age of 10 and now exceed grade 8 level with a strong knowledge of advanced music theory.

I am also able to hold my own on guitar & bass which has proven useful to previous pupils who were guitarists wishing to stretch out their fingers out to the keyboard.



Teaching Experience:

I have brought ultimate beginners up to an intermediate level and taken intermediate musicians up to a higher level of musical ability and confidence. I have also taught music theory up to and beyond grade 5. I have taught a wide range of pupils from the age of 5 to 45 about the requirements to play classical, pop and jazz music, including improvisation.



Tutoring Approach:

Every day is full of music for me, whether it be in my head, through speakers or headphones, from my fingers or from my voice. I feel that I have much to share musically, not only through piano or theory lessons, but through philosophies and approaches. Music exists to be shared and I am prepared to offload all that I know onto someone else without pause or prejudice.
