Theory is an important  part of understanding the music one plays and knowledge learnt, together with technical exercises, can only help to improve performance styles and techniques.  I enjoy teaching theory at any level and make each lesson fun and motivational to aid understanding.

I teach up to grade 8 standard and enter students for examination with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.  Examinations take place on 3 dates each year (1 each examination session) in Carlisle.   Grade 5 theory is the most requested theory examination, since this is a stepping stone to going on to complete practical examinations from grade 6 and beyond.  Although practical examinations from grade 6 can also be taken once a student has completed either a Jazz Practical Grade 5 examination or Practical Musicianship Grade 5, it has to be said that Grade 5 theory is the most popular route through to the more advanced stages.

As a member of the ISM (Incorporated Society of Musicians) I provide lessons under a contract which protects both the teacher and the student.

Lessons are on a weekly basis or can be negotiated to allow time to complete homework.
