    Learn Piano from a Professional Musician and Teacher with 12+ years experience

    Whether it’s having studied music formally throughout school and college, worked as a professional musician since age 16, attended music education professional development workshops, or enhanced my knowledge in order to provide even more valuable instruction to my students - the instrument that has taught me the most and allowed me to achieve excellence in music has always been the Piano. My students never leave a lesson without a new piece of valuable information and something to add to their skillset. I don't believe that there is any single "right" way to make or produce music. Music is an international language that transcends boundaries of statehood, culture, and identity. As a South African, I was raised on the drumbeats and rhythms of traditional Zulu and Xhosa folk music. Upon moving to the UK, I received classical "western" training in drum kit, chorus, and piano. In my professional career, I learned the "rules" of recording and production, mastering Logic and Pro Tools under the tutelage of some of the finest producers in the business. Now, as a tutor, I blend these very different approaches into a unique teaching methodology that emphasizes self-discipline and enjoyment and encourages creative rule-breaking. I believe that this approach empowers my students to find their own musical voices inside and outside of the learning environment.

    About Robert S.

    Born in South Africa and raised in Oxford, UK, I began my career as a professional touring and recording musician at the age of sixteen. As a member of the band Stornoway, I've toured the world and played drums on some of its most renowned stages, most notably Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage. I've performed live on “Later...with Jools Holland”, alongside Jay Z, Foo Fighters, Norah Jones, and Sting, recorded live sessions in the infamous Abbey Road studios, performed on some of the BBC’s main prime-time radio and television political programs, and received a silver record from BMI for record sales - all before the age of 25. I have worked with all ages in the UK and US as a Private Tutor, Lead Teacher, Teaching Artist, and Music Therapist. Blending all the aspects of music that I've learned from experience, I use a unique teaching methodology focused on excellence, enjoyment, and creative rule-breaking. Having studied music throughout school, worked as an award-winning professional musician, and been trained as a music teacher, my knowledge and fluency in music is extensive. My students never leave a lesson without a new piece of valuable information and something to add to their skillset.
