About Angus
My approach to teaching is rooted in identifying what a student enjoys playing (and listening to) and fuelling this organic passion to drive any music theory. My lessons will suit anyone who wants to learn how to: improvise, compose, play-by-ear, and play jazz / pop/ rock and roll and much more. As such, I focus on teaching songs that excite students and, through this, developing the student’s musical vocabulary – i.e. knowledge of rhythm, harmony, and melody. Songs will be learnt using chords and playing-by-ear – building student’s capabilities from learning one or two notes to whole phrases by ear. We will not use much musical notation but reading music will still be taught as it will be useful. We will discuss what makes certain chord progressions pleasurable. Throughout this, students gain a deep knowledge of music, and will develop the skills required to compose their own songs, as well as to improvise freely with no sheet music. I offer an alternative to traditional musical education. Sadly, many students go through years of musical education without ever really enjoying it and give it up at the earliest opportunity. It is often prescriptive and unsuitable for anyone who does not want to learn classical music. I train my students to not be afraid of making mistakes and to not be too judgemental on their playing – mistakes are often just dependent on context (as Miles Davis famously put it) and are opportunities to learn.

I am a jazz pianist and teacher with 8 years’ experience playing professionally, solo and with a quintet, in restaurants and venues across the UK and in Europe. This has included the pleasure of being invited to be interviewed on BBC Radio London, BBC Radio 6, Jools Holland and Glastonbury Festival. I have been teaching children (7+) and adults (18 – 60+) for the last 5 years. I teach because music brings joy to my life – I have had the privilege of having inspirational figures - friends, family and teachers - who have given me the key to unlocking this lifelong passion. I want to reciprocate this good fortune by helping others find their key.

Angus is a super great tutor and highly skilled jazz pianist and musician!
If you’re looking to unlock your music creativity and ability to really feel and understand the piano, Angus is the one! His lessons are super fun, engaging and tailored. Through Angus, I was exposed to a whole new world of Jazz piano which completely changed my experience playing the piano. Couldnt recommend Angus enough !Angus has been helping me learn the piano and has been such a generous tutor. He has given me so much confidence and I have gone from barely getting my scales down to being able to play sensitive renditions (if I don’t say so myself!) of some of my favourite Bill Evans. Angus is a very special musician and tutor.
He is the best piano teacher and an amazing human being full of compassion. He is very friendly and has a down-to-earth style of teaching and superb musicality to be passed on!
Angus is an excellent Jazz pianist. He's also an exceptional teacher, being very attentive to the unique abilities and challenges of his students. I'd recommend Angus for anyone looking for a friendly, enthusiastic guide to the world of jazz piano.
