James - Etruria and Hanley - Piano

Methodology

It doesn't matter what age you are, or what ability you do or don't have, my aim is to get you playing and excited about music. I also offer tuition in Maths.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

I teach Saxophone, Clarinet and Piano. As a jazz musician with regular gigs, my instinct is to teach with a slightly more contemporary and edgy feel. We can work within a grade structure (for example ABRSM grades 1-8), without or a mixture of the two

I teach general Jazz over any instrument - interpreting chord progressions, improvisation, tonal control etc.

I also offer tuition in Maths-based subjects - I did a Maths degree
