About Jonatan
I have taught guitar in London since 2013, privately and through the music schools Active in Music and The Music House for Children. I am currently teaching in Chelsea Academy and Twyford School. In 2017 I joined the Musicians's Company as a Yeoman and give regular music workshops in primary schools in London and Brighton. My students have ranged from complete beginners to more advanced, and I have guided them through ABRSM exams and public performances.
I hold a Master of Performance (Historical Performance) with Distinction and a First Class Bachelor of Music (Honours), both from the Royal College of Music.

GOALS
It is important to have goals, otherwise we don’t know what to expect from the lessons. These goals could be anything from “I just want to learn guitar for fun” to “I am trying to get into a conservatoire and have music as a profession”. These two goals come with very different responsibilities. In the first case, just picking up the guitar to play through the pieces every day is usually enough, anything above that is great, but not a necessity to reach the goal. The second case requires the student to practice several hours a day. Whatever your goal might be, we try to establish them early on so that we can target our focus on what is needed from you in your own practice time and from me as a teacher when we meet for our lesson.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A LESSON?
I usually focus on 3 things:
Repertoire
We do learn an instrument in order to play pieces, therefore a large part of the lesson will be spent working on repertoire. The pieces you play depends on your level of playing and your goals. For a beginner, or a young learner, I will choose most pieces to find a suitable level and to help you improve your playing. The more advanced you get, the more pieces you will be able to choose yourself. If you really like a particular piece or repertoire that you would like to learn, we will make a plan and work towards it.
Technique
In simple terms, technique is practically how we play and it is there for the benefit of the music. In the beginning, we will acquire most of what we need from playing repertoire. As you advance, we can work on more specific techniques. For an advanced player, I have exercises which go into depth, that we will work on every lesson. If something is technically difficult, we isolate the techniques required and work on them separately. The most important technique is learning how to practice effectively. We will go through different practice techniques and build up a toolbox of ways to practice so that you always can choose the most effective one to use.
Theory
Music theory is an important tool to understand musical language. I believe we best learn theory when we can apply it to what we are doing in practice. When we understand scales, harmony and history we not only understand what we are playing but why.

Details
I charge £45/hour, (£37.50/45 minutes & £30/30 minutes).
These prices are in guidelines with the recommended Musicians Union minimum rate and in the mid-range of the average London rate according to the Incorporate Society of Musicians survey 2019.
I teach from my home just over 5 minutes walk from East Acton tube station and online using either Zoom or Google Meet. I currently do not travel to students' homes but will consider it if you get in touch with your details.
I do use a contract with all my students. These are based on the Incorporate Society of Musicians contracts.
