About Me

Hi!

My name is Chris, and I'm a classical tenor who has a burning passion for his art.

Without a doubt, music is my purpose in life, and I'd argue it is in most people's lives. I'm devoted to my craft and always looking to further my knowledge every day.

Alongside my professional performing career, I thoroughly enjoy teaching my students and building up a strong relationship with them. When singing, we put ourselves in a vulnerable position. We are welcoming the audience into our musical world. Thus, there are no barriers between our deepest emotions and our listeners. Learning to sing is a very similar experience as the pupil puts their trust into the hands of their teacher. Trust is the most vital aspect of the whole experience, and I want nothing more than my pupils to flourish.

Many of my pupils have gone onto secure scholarships at leading musical institutions in the UK and regularly perform on national TV and radio.

Of course, this is just a tiny snippet of what I do; I don't just teach my pupils how to 'sing'. Instead, my pupils learn how to communicate not only with an audience but more importantly, themselves. We must learn how to control every aspect of our being when singing. However, this can only happen when we feel relaxed and comfortable.

Why do we sing? Simply because we enjoy it. This ethos transfers directly into my teaching philosophy. We must learn to sing through our enjoyment, happiness, and enthusiasm.

I welcome any interest from potential pupils, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Chris

Music theory is an often daunting topic; this doesn't have to be the case! I'm confident that I can guide any pupil through from basic, all the way to advanced knowledge levels (grade 8+). I promise to ensure that no part of my teaching will overcomplicate things. I will always give my students simple yet memorable tools to overcome any hurdles. I know exactly how it feels to struggle with certain aspects of music theory as I have done in the past. I'm extremely friendly, calm, patient, and will always go over and above to help my pupils. I look forward to hearing from you! Chris

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Ziad
Oriental Arabic Oud and Singing Teacher in Germany
Experienced Oud & Oriental singing teacher for over 8 years, Lebanese, currently residing in Mönchengladbach. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I was a teacher at Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and also offered private lessons. Additionally, I served as a concertmaster in the oriental orchestra "Loubnan Assalam" for more than 5 years. My reason for relocating to Germany is to complete my studies at the University of Kamp Lintfort. I am fluent in English, Couramment en français, ولغتي الأم هي اللغة العربية. Unfortunately, I speak only a little German (Aber leider spreche ich ein bisschen Deutsch). My recommendation for learning the Oud is to begin by studying musical notes and notation before delving into songs. While some students prefer to jump straight into playing songs, understanding the fundamentals of music notation accelerates progress in the long run. Dedication and hard work can yield significant progress within a year, enabling you to play simple tunes. However, if you lack a passion for music or the instrument itself, I advise against pursuing it. As a friendly and passionate teacher, I derive joy from witnessing my students' progress and enjoy playing duets with them. While in-person meetings are preferable, I also offer online lessons for those unable to meet in person. Feel free to leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
