Qualification:

BMus (Honours), Royal College of Music, London

Experience:

Hello! My name is Colin and I have been a professional, performing cellist in London prior to moving to Dubai to work in the aviation sector. I was classically trained at the Royal College of Music where I completed my BMus degree in cello performance and teaching. I have years of teaching and performance experience having performed in some of the World's prestigious concert venues and with some of the industry's top classical musicians.

Approach:

The individual goals of each pupil dictates the intensity and trajectory of each lesson, in the short and long-term. I strive to make lessons fun and enjoyable, but also challenging. Motivation is key in music and I believe the best motivation comes from the pupil's own progress which is made overtime through individual practise. I am very familiar with the UK's ABRSM exam system (from grades 1 to 8).  Unless requested for the purpose of taking these exams then I will most likely deviate from this system as per the pupil's needs depending on age and skill level. I offer one free of charge consultation lesson. This is so that we can get to know each other, discuss the needs an goals of the pupil, for me to asses them, and to discuss anything that might be of interest. I have a very hectic schedule in Dubai which has me traveling internationally on a regular basis, therefor lessons will be arranged on a weekly basis with the aim to be as flexible towards the pupil's needs as possible. I only teach out of my home in JVC.
