I tell most people I meet my belief that Music is one of the most difficult A Level subjects; students are expected to be accomplished in a huge range of skills, demonstrating a maturity and depth in their understanding and  ability. The same, of course, can be said for GCSE, if you're in year 10 or 11. This can feel overwhelming, and staying organised and focused can be challenging. I can offer help and support with any aspects of the course, tailored to your needs: 

• Planning a performance, and general performance coaching and feedback

• Composing - a structured approach, studying a variety of techniques and devices for creating effective GCSE and A Level compositions

• 'Bach Chorale' Harmony 

• Aural awareness training to help with the listening part of the exams: chords, keys, cadences, dictation, styles and eras, and recognising musical elements such as textures, instrumentation etc.

• Analysis of set works and the theory/language to support this.

• Practice papers and essay technique

• Revision techniques
