About Alastair

I have many years of experience as a professional musician playing for dance companies as well as arranging and creating music for performances, including a production at the Royal Ballet School, London. Currently I work as a repetiteur at Stuttgart Ballet, in Germany. I have appeared, and recorded music for film as well as played in numerous productions on stage.

About the lesson

I offer a broad-based approach to music theory, harmony and composition. I can help with theory or entrance exam preparations, as well as guide the student in learning the basics of harmony: chord sequences, also how to pick out the chords of your favourite songs. I have taught at all levels from beginner to university students.
Lessons are typically 45 - 55 minutes but can be as long (or short) as the student feels they need.

Perfect! Alastair inspired and motivated my daughter in her music study. He helped her by ill f her confidence in the Music composition in particular. With Alastair’s help she was able to achieve A* in Alevel music that her school teachers thought she could not achieve. Thank you Alastair.
Below are my daughter’s reflections:
Alastair was a great music tutor. He was very good at helping me to develop and enhance my own ideas. He was able to explain to me many different ompositinoal techniques with clear examples to help me understand and implement them into my on work. He was able to explain to me clearly many elements of music theory such as chords, cadences and how to modulate which were crucial to my composition. Not only does he have advance musical knowledge but he is also an understanding and encouraging person.

Alastair’s musicianship is second to none — and his ability to inspire to the highest level and convey the basis of music theory to students so that they have a solid foundation in harmony and counterpoint is exceptional. A highly regarded composer and performer, Alastair brings authenticity, expertise and depth to all his teaching and we recommend him unreservedly.

Alastair and I were neighbors and became fast musical friends. He is a fantastic piano player and played for the Ballet Academy in Covent Garden, London and the Stuttgardt Ballet, for many years. What he can't teach you about music and composing must surely be highly irrelevant.
