About Sam

My name is Sam, I have over a decade and a half of full time music teaching experience, in a variety of different contexts and settings including both 1-to-1 and classroom teaching. I have taught students of all ages and abilities as well as a wide mixture of styles and genres.

MY QUALIFICATIONS:

from the Royal Northern College of Music,
where I was given a scholarship from the Radcliffe Trust and was awarded the 2020 Gold Medal, as well as the 2021 Patricia Cunliffe Prize in Composition.

A Bachelor's Degree (Hons) in Music
from University of York (2009),
where I focused primarily on piano performance.

Piano Pedagogy Certification from The European Piano Teachers Association (2009).

Grade 8 Piano with Distinction (2004).

MY BACKGROUND:

I come from a family of professional musicians and music educators. I have been teaching 1-to-1 piano since 2008.

My professional experience includes:

Classroom teaching: A-level Music and Performing Arts at BHASVIC (Brighton, Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College);

Piano teaching at Roedean School for Girls;

Being a creative facilitator at songwriting summer schools for teenagers held at the Brighton Dome;

Working for various music services and studios;

Teacher training: for the Bridge Academy of Music in Delhi; Working with individuals privately to help prepare them for or develop their piano teaching or to guide them through the process of becoming qualified;

Performing as a soloist, including being a finalist in national piano competitions and playing solo concerts abroad (USA and India);

Work as an accompanist;

Work as a session musician and music director in variety of non-classical projects. I have experience in Jazz, Hip Hop, Pop, Musical Theatre, Folk, Motown, Latin-American Music, Afro-beat and Electronic Music;

Composer and singer-songwriter.

About the lesson

I design my lessons around each individual student, based on the ways in which they learn most successfully, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their musical ambitions and interests. Depending on the student my lessons often include technique, theory, sight-reading/notation, aural/listening, singing, music history, interpretation, composition, improvisation, performance, practice methodology and, especially for younger students, games and play. Music is an art form and so I try to incorporate creativity into my lessons wherever possible. This not only helps develop greater musicianship, but also makes lessons more enjoyable and students more motivated.

The majority of my students play classical repertoire but I also teach many of them Jazz and Popular Genres. About half of my students opt for taking exams and so far I have had a 100% pass rate across all the grades (including grade 5 theory and grade 8 piano) with many getting merits and distinctions.

As well as piano lessons I offer lessons in music theory or composition/songwriting and also offer tutoring for GCSE or A-level music students.

Lessons are usually 1 hour long although 30/45 mins and 1.5/2 hour lessons are also available.
The consultation lesson is FREE.

Students can come to me in Hulme, Manchester (M15) where I teach on a beautiful Yamaha Upright Piano (U3). or I also offer online lessons.
