Maisie

I am a Bachelor of Music graduate from the Royal Academy of Music in London. As a professional musician, I have several years experience teaching woodwind, theory and piano both privately and in independent schools. I can adapt to any of your needs.

I have been teaching for many years now, privately and in independent schools, with pupils at many different levels, ages and circumstance. I have guided my students through copious exams; Oboe, Theory and Piano, all achieving fantastic results, which is highly satisfying for me as a teacher, and for them as learning musicians. In addition to this, I teach Recorder, Flute, Clarinet, Ukulele and Saxophone.

I also tutor beginner French - I studied A-Level French and it is where my passion lies outside of music.

I have taken my pupils through many exams; theory, piano and oboe, all showing fantastic results. Recent successes include 98% in Grade 5 theory and 96% in Grade 7 oboe.
But I also teach people 'just for fun!', so can adapt to whichever you need.

At a professional level, I freelance across London orchestras, mainly concentrating on Oboe and Cor Anglais. I have performed at many prestigious venues, including the Royal Albert Hall (BBC Proms), Royal Festival Hall, Cadogan Hall, the Barbican, Milton Court, to name a few.

My performance background only enhances my teaching ability and I would love to share this with the prospering pupils at TeachTutti, working closely and regularly with developing young musicians, helping them reach their highest potential.

Music has always been hugely influential and something I have felt a lot of passion for from a very young age. To even have a background in music is incredibly beneficial throughout life, and I find it thrilling how I can pass on my knowledge so that others can benefit this way.

I try to keep lessons lighthearted and fun with the idea of pushing the student at the same time - I hope that my former students agree! It's really important to me to build a good rapport with my tutee, as it makes learning efficient and a pleasant experience.

From the world class education that I have received myself, I have luckily picked up many tricks and tips about teaching the 'correct' way and would love to carry on passing this knowledge to allow students to have a great time playing their instrument!
