With over 40 years of playing and more than 30 years teaching experience, from orchestral, band, small ensembles to solo work, Ian is also in demand as a teacher of brass instruments and music theory.

Although a busy professional tutor, Ian has a few vacancies for regular private tuition in the Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes areas. Lessons are usually taken in your own home so you have no need to travel.  Lessons are carefully structured to the needs and requirements of the student. Special consultations to prepare for recitals, solos and exams may be available upon request.

Ian has experience of teaching all of the brass family, so if you wish to learn any brass instrument (eg trumpet, cornet, french horn, trombone) or music theory, just get in touch including some details of any previous playing, musical experience (if any) and your ambitions (eg ABRSM exams).

Ian teaches pupils of all ages and holds an Enhanced Disclosure Certificate from the CRB to work with Children and Vunerable Adults.  More details and frequently asked questions are available here.

The current (February 2009) standard terms are £22.00 for a 40 minute lesson and £27.50 for a one hour lesson.  Reductions are available for group lessons or by purchasing 'tuition vouchers'.
