David Nelson | piano tutor

David has a set of values and beliefs which influence the way lessons are taught. He strongly believes for example that everyone is capable of playing a musical instrument and that everyone has musical potential. Also that it is important to encourage and develop a wide range of musical skills (such as sight reading, ear playing, rhythm sense, improvisation, harmony and singing) because these skills are essential in piano playing and in being a musician.

He also believes that lessons should be fun!

I teach in my private studio, on a Steinway Concert Grand (Model M). The majority of students wish to be prepared for exams, but some play for pleasure, so exam work isn't compulsory. I am also a successful composer/arranger, and music writer (Classical Music Writer & Critic for The Herald [Plymouth]). I was a secondary school Head of Music for 25 years before taking early retirement, and have worked as an Examiner and Syllabus Advisor for Trinity Guildhall.

Qualifications:
BMus (Hons) GRSM FMusTCL (Musical Research)
FTCL FLCM FVCM (Hons) FNCM (Piano Performing)

I'm a specialist jazz piano teacher, and a performing jazz musician.

I accept pupils of any age and with any level of piano playing experience. Pupils who have been taught some (or a lot of) classical piano, and would like to learn how to play jazz, are most welcome.

I also teach pupils who are adept on other instruments to play jazz.

I teach theory (classical or jazz) to any level.

Location:
Lessons are given at my house in Hemingford Grey, Cambridgeshire, on my upright Yamaha piano.
Hemingford Grey is just off the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon, near St Ives.
