Important Notice
I am moving many of my students over to Trinity College of Music Exams although I will still offer ABRSM Graded Music Exams to Grade 5 Only. The reason for this is the stability of exams and I feel that Trinity offers more and the pieces seem to be more favourable.
95% of my students are from referrals and those students know they wish to learn.
If your Son/Daughter has had a bad experience in learning with another tutor please do not think all teachers/tutors are the same or teach the same methods. Many of my pupils have come from other teachers and schools due to their methods of teaching. I am extremely passionate about my students learning well and enjoying their instrument into old age.
Personalized. Comprehensive. Fun.
Passing Exam Grades can help you get into University and College.
I do not teach under 5 yrs of age
Under 16yrs can be accompanied by an adult. Parents welcome to sit in lessons
I would advise you to BOOK your lessons now as my waiting list can be up to 2 years.
Serious students only should apply

I continue to write and compose music for enjoyment and I have recently been asked to compose the opening Music to a TV Series in the USA. So it is now all down to the studios if they want to take the TV Series on. It is also very expensive to do so. I do however have good contacts within the Music and TV/Film Industry.
I'm a former Resident Hotel Pianist and played at the Castle Hotel in Windsor daily as well as being headhunted to play for a well-known Bistro that was in St.Albans.
FAMILY LIFE
I am a family man and married to Anna and we have a wonderful son called Robert and a daughter called Ingrid, who is a teacher (Primary ). Robert will be 12 yrs old in August and enjoys listening to music and playing the keyboard too.
I'm a Scotsman who has lived in Slough for more than 25 years now. In fact, I have spent more time in England than I have in Scotland. It's a mixed bag in our home as Anna is from Lithuania and speaks English, Lithuanian and Russian.
Online Lessons
Online lessons have become very successful over the past year and all students have managed to pass their exams. Distinctions, Merits, and Passes.
I have very limited spaces available for the 1st term and may have 1 or 2 spaces in the Summer.
I also teach Film, TV, Pop and Stage Music. I also incorporate this into my students studies. Learning should be FUN!
