TEACHING & MENTORING

Piano/ singing/ composition

Patrick enjoys teaching piano to adults and children as well as Music Theatre Performance singing . He also teaches the ABRSM Jazz Piano syllabus.

Patrick offers tuition in composition and arranging, either for academic purposes or purely for pleasure.

Aural Training

Patrick was the official aural training specialist for the Bucks Music Trust providing welcome support to students taking graded music exams. This can often be a difficult area for candidates, with their music teachers rarely having the time to focus on this key aspect in private lessons, and this has proved to be a popular service.

Academic

Although no longer involved in full-time education, Patrick still enjoys teaching and currently offers private tuition in AQA A level and OCR/ AQA GCSE Music, especially ‘crash courses’ prior to exams.

He is the online music teacher for the Cambridge Home School (since December 2017), delivering ‘live’ lessons to students from all over the world.

Teacher mentoring

Patrick is delighted to be able to use his extensive experience in music education to help others, and provides tailor-made CPD for teachers new to the OCR GCSE specification. Please contact him if you are interested. His aim is not to get people to teach like him, but rather to get them to teach like themselves, but better!
