    Popular music and contemporary performance (UK syllabus)

    Entry-level lessons teach about rhythm, melody, harmony, duo play, replay, music listening and ear training, music notation, and sight-reading. Learning depends on your life experience and abilities. You can learn some days, some others may develop skills some years. Learners can continue their studies in a music school or studio. Musical literacy is the reading, writing, and playing of music, as well as an understanding of cultural practice and historical and social contexts. Kopli is famous for bohemians and fine art. Young musicians can rent a music studio at the youth centre.

    About Me

    I have a digital piano and a great collection of books in English, an OFQUAL-qualified ESL teacher. By the way, I worked for some years in France. Well travelled person in Europe and America. My daily schedule is quite busy one, weekly flexible, and I am interested in a student who needs the learning outcome and realistic practice.

    Some study materials (read audio files from The Economist, unlimited access to the National Theatre Live (UK), picture books, language books, songbooks, sheets of music and the digital piano with headphones and pedals, 2D and 3D, maths and logic study materials) are included into tuition and used only in a study time.

    Education

    Estonian. Obtained an English teacher qualification in England, and certification in the Montessori Method from London. CPD training from Tartu, Tallinn, Melbourne, Townsville, Granada, Hague, Tokyo, Trois-Rivières, Leicester, Siena, Florence, Hanover and Oxford.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Educator since 2007, the senior level teaching career in various educational settings. Among others, participated in the EU-funded intercultural projects with youth workers, and teachers. I've got 2 months paid holiday each summer, tutoring from Sept to May.
    I've been working with multi-age classrooms for more than a decade now to work with children with communication disorders and several more experiences with other children in public and private settings to teach in Estonian, English, and French. I use American curriculum and study materials in English and studies are integrated across disciplines that include geography, biology, history, language, mathematics, science, music, and other forms of artistic expression. I also have a great collection of British picture books that I use quite often and 3D wooden study materials. In my after-school sessions, children engage in their learning by thinking, discussing, investigating, and creating.
    General sessions have 8 levels of learning (vocabulary and grammar), and business language has 4. No machine can replace the human spark: spirit, compassion, love, and understanding. Academic learning is divided into three parts. Spoken language such as diction, acting on stories or poems, public speaking, debates and discussions, etc. Reading exercises (C1) such as the main idea, supporting details, the author's purpose, organisation and text structures, the audience, evaluating arguments, drawing conclusions, tone and mood, meaning of words and phrases, figurative language, graphic structures of information, elements of fiction, etc. Grammar and sentence structure (C1) such as the parts of speech, constructing sentences, capitalization, common language errors, the essay, writing a thesis statement, structuring the essay, providing supportive evidence, writing well, postpositions, phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, etc.

    Jamie
    Piano Tuition for all ages and abilities with experienced pianist and teacher - Classical / Grades 1-8 / Music theory
    Hi students and music lovers ! Piano is a fun and rewarding way to explore music for people of all ages, whether you've played music before or not, and is one of the most accessible instruments right from the first lesson! I teach with a variety of pop-transcriptions and easy Classical pieces, simple improvisation and harmony exercises, and am comfortable adapting to each pupils own way of learning. If you're new to piano, or have played before and want to rekindle your love of music, get in touch to arrange a first lesson! I will book us a room with a grand piano at the Academy. I graduated Master’s cum laude in Piano Performance at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre studying with prof. Peep Lassmann, who was himself a student of the great Russian pianist Emil Gilels. I have 12 years' private teaching experience, and was employed by Märjamaa Music and Art School as a 1:1 piano teacher in 2018-19. I also have a BMus (Hons) degree from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and DipABRSM, the standard professional teaching qualification in the UK. Reviews from current students: "Jamie is an amazing teacher. I had no knowledge of piano before him and was worried in general of being able to learn. His way of explaining, patience and incredible passion for music gave me the push to try and are reinforcing my motivation to learn more day-by-day. Our classes are alive, fun, and so much like a continuous journey through all the aspects of piano music." - Angelyk "Jamie makes this comfortable atmosphere, you'll never be afraid to make a mistake. I learned a song already in my second/third lesson. 🙂 " - Taimi

    Fun Time Singing Musical Songs with Kids & Adults 💛
    VOCAL lessons are divided into 2 parts - 1) Warmup Exercise and 2) Singing Exercise. We do both parts in every lessons. Ideally we spend every 2-3 sessions for each song. For kids, a 30-min online lesson / 45-min face-to-face lesson would be long enough for their attention. For adults, it's good to start with a 50-min online lesson! Also, we do music appreciation occasionally during the session. Some other learning materials like music videos are applied based on song choices.
