Nelumi - Becontree£36

£36Piano lessons from beginners to advanced (Grades 1-8 ABRSM)

Hi! I am an experienced pianist looking to share my skills. I cover both practical and theory lessons, and I have 15 years of experience of being a pianist. In my lessons, I teach the basics and go through practical skills, allowing students to complete ABRSM official exams, and I also teach them extra pieces of music, which will not only enhance their skill, but also their enjoyment in the instrument My teaching approach often focuses on detail, such as the positioning of the student's hands on the piano, to their posture when they sit at the piano. Small details are often the difference between a student getting a pass to a distinction. Learning can be difficult, but I take an active & efficient approach to teaching. In addition to keeping students on their toes throughout the entirety of the lesson, helping them actively recall information. Lessons can range from 30 minutes up to an hour, depending on each students needs. IMPORTANT: Only for students under 16, looking to do piano as a serious commitment.

Gian Marco - Morden£60

£60Violin/Viola/Music Theory Tutor with international experience

I am a professional musician and educator, with international experience as a Violin/Viola/ Chamber Music/Theory teacher, soloist, orchestra leader, chamber musician, and jury member. I have graduated in Violin at the Conservatory of Music "G.P. da Palestrina" of Cagliari- Italy and in Viola at the Conservatory of Music "G. Verdi" of Milan-Italy. My professional activity led me to work in several orchestras as performer, and in various music schools as upper- string and chamber music teacher. I lived and worked in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and since 2012 I made London my home, where I developed further teaching experience within the British system. I have also founded "The Geminiani Project" of which I am the director and the leader of the Camerata Geminiani, ensemble that has been invited to perform in England, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark, and Sweden. At the same time I have established my ensemble, I have also launched the Geminiani Youth Orchestra (formed by young musicians aged 6 to 17 years old) as I believe in the importance of giving an opportunity to young players to perform together, and the amateur ensemble Hampton Chamber Orchestra; we performed with both orchestras at various venues in London. Regarding my teaching technique, I believe that each student is different and unique, so the first thing I try to do is to establish a connection, then I try to understand the major skills and major difficulties of the student in order to develop a personalised system; I pay much importance also to the emotional aspect the student is dealing with in order to build passion and love for music. I strongly believe that, once achieved a technical skill, the student must have the chance to play with the teacher and with other students, and feel the excitement of making music together. I have experience in preparing students for auditions, competitions, or ABRSM/Trinity exams with excellent results; I love what I do and I love to see my pupils achieving high level results. Some of my students have been awarded at international competitions, some other former students are covering leading roles in international orchestras or in chamber ensembles.

I can also offer music theory lessons that being to complement music education, prepare for the ABRSM music theory exams or just to expand the knowledge in that area. The approach for in-person and online tuition are quite similar. I effectively teach using both methods with great results in both. When online, I make sure they are of exceptional quality and the pupil gets the same results they would get in person. They are ideal if traveling is a limitation for the student or just want to take them from the comfort of their home using their own instrument. If preferred, I can also give the lesson in Spanish.
