Most adult players plateau not because they’re not practising, but because they’re practising the wrong things. A 30-minute consultation with me cuts through that. You play, I listen, and you leave with a clear diagnosis and a focused practice direction.
In half an hour we’ll cover your tone, your time, and your phrasing — the three things that separate confident players from competent ones. I’ll tell you honestly where your playing is, what’s holding you back, and what to work on next.
You’ll come away with:
- An honest read on the current state of your playing — tone, time, articulation, phrasing
- The single biggest opportunity to focus on next, with the reasoning behind it
- Two or three specific exercises tailored to your level
- A clear sense of whether ongoing lessons would help, and if so, what shape they’d take
Designed for adult players, beginner through advanced, who want a professional opinion before committing to a course of lessons — or who simply want a focused diagnostic from someone who’s spent twenty years figuring this out.
I teach at the University of Cambridge, Guildhall, and Middlesex University, and I was UK Music Teacher of the Year in 2020 and 2021. I studied with Branford Marsalis and Ravi Coltrane. This is the same diagnostic ear I bring to every Cambridge tutorial — condensed into thirty focused minutes.
Thursdays and Fridays only. £35. Booking via Calendly.
