Many people will have heard the word 'Eurythmics' through the 80's Annie Lennox band of that name, but few know what Eurythmics really is. Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (July 6, 1865 – July 1, 1950) was a Swiss composer, musician and music educator who developed Dalcroze Eurhythmics, an approach to learn...

I have been trying out different VOIP applications for use with my online webcam tuition. While much depends on the quality of the equipment my students use on their PC's and laptops, there have always been issues with sound delay and audio-visual quality when using Skype.

Advance Bookings & Casual /Ad Hoc Tuition

Ad Hoc / Casual Lessons
£36.00
It goes without saying that nobody is going to learn very much, or make any significant progress, with just one lesson. Learning to play an instrument properly is an ongoing commitment. Normally, I therefore organise lessons in ten week blocks called a series which are spread over a term (12-14 weeks). A student normally enrols for a series of lessons by paying the tuition fees in advance. Their place/time is then booked and reserved for the whole series. If a student wants to pay weekly for casual ad hoc lessons the tuition fee is £36.00 per hour. Booking five lessons in advance is £34.00 per hour and enrolling for a ten week course is £32.00 per hour. With casual /ad hoc tuition I am unable to guarantee the same day or time for lessons from week to week as this depends on my timetabled bookings at that particular time.

I am just finishing my first course with Chris. As an "older" student who is learning an instrument and music for the first time, I was extremely apprehensive and nervous, but made to feel very comfortable with my progress, or sometimes lack of it ! I will be continuing with my lessons.Great teacher, would highly recommend !!!
