My
Teaching My TeachingMy private brass teaching is carried out from my home and over the internet with video lessons. I also teach in Surrey schools. Privately, I teach pupils of all ages, from about 7 to retired. Trumpet and cornet are the most popular although I have many pupils playing lower brass instruments, such as french horn, trombone, tenor horn, baritione and euphonium. I teach all styles of music, including classical and jazz improvisation. Aural and musical knowledge (including theory) are covered as required as part of the lessons. In addition I teach theory to grade 5 in individual lessons. Whilst some are learning purely for their own enjoyment, I generally encourage pupils to take grades, to perform and to join local bands and orchestras.
