Playing music is exhilarating, challenging, therapeutic and an incredible skill to be enjoyed throughout life. Learning to play should be a joy, and choosing a great teacher is the key.
Ian is an experienced tutor of saxophone and guitar. He teaches all ages and stages from absolute beginner through to grade 8+ from his spacious and well equipped home studio in Crystal Palace, London as well as online.
LESSONS
Your own expression is the most important building block when forming your musical identity. Ian looks to encourage and explore this with students through carefully chosen music, improvisation, composition, duets, playing with others and expressive music making. Ian tailors lessons around your interests and needs, taking care to give weight and time to problem areas, or particular interests.
Ian's studio in Crystal Palace is well equipped and comfortable. Usually all that is required from the student is their instrument and a willingness to learn. The studio is a short walk from Crystal Palace station or Anerley Station. There is also a parking space available.
GENRES
Ian teaches many styles and genres of music having played professionally across the following.
- Classical
- Jazz
- Rock / Pop
- Funk / Soul
TECHNIQUE
Having honed his technique at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and with many years playing professionally, Ian offers excellent tuition to the beginner through to the advanced player. For the beginner this means that you are able to begin learning on your instrument, safe in the knowledge that you are building correct classically honed technique right from the start, which will help you to overcome stumbling blocks later in your journey.
The time between lessons with Ian is as important as the lesson itself. At the end of every session you will leave with clear excercises and practice schedules to give you structure through practice sessions in the week.
ABOUT
Ian is registered with the ABRSM, and can take students through grade exams if that is of interest, though this isn't a necessity.
