cameron spencer - piano teacher, online music lessons
My name is Cameron and I am a 27 year old keys player specialising in Rock,
Blues, R&B, Funk and Soul music. I started playing the piano aged 8 and have
been passionate about music ever since. I have many years’ experience providing
piano lessons to people of all ages and abilities, in person, in schools and
online. Companies I've previously worked for include Open2Music and Private
Music Lessons UK. I can also teach students Classical and advanced music theory
to a high standard.
I produce many of my own documents to aid students’ learning and use methodical
but fun teaching methods. With a diverse knowledge of subjects such as music
culture/history and technology, I aim to give students a broad overview of all
things music related.
Education:
After working through the ABRSM Classical and Jazz grades, I began studying
Music and Music Tech A levels at college. From 2014 to 2016, I was tutored by
highly regarded industry professionals such as Brian Henry (Soul II Soul, Mica
Paris) and Frank Tontoh (Amy Winehouse, George Michael) at the Academy of
Contemporary Music in Guildford, where I achieved a 2:1 in Professional Music
Performance.
Experience:
I have a wealth of experience teaching the piano (and music in general) to
children and adults of all ages and abilities, either at home, in a school
environment, or online.
Resources:
I have created many useful documents over the years, catering to people of all
ages and abilities. I also produced a single document called 'Essential Music
Theory' featuring lots of information about scales, chords, progressions,
melodic features, improvisation and ear training.
Teaching online:
Online tuition is useful as it is convenient for both the student and the
teacher, especially when they are many miles away from each other.
I have taught many students via Zoom and find it to be a useful and enjoyable
experience. I have access to a reliable, fast internet connection and know how
to deal with any issues that may arise.
I can play the piano in software like Logic Pro X and this can be heard very
clearly by the student on the other end (any audio I play my end can be heard).
Students can also see what notes/chords I'm playing via screen-sharing and an
app called 'ChordieApp'.
