About Josh Winiberg MA, BA (Hons), DipABRSM
Musical Background
MA Composing for Video Games, BA (Hons.) Music Composition, DipABRSM (Piano Performance). Pianist, producer and composer for films, stage productions and video games. Winner of Southend Music Festival piano section 2018 and 2022.
Teaching Experience
Twelve years' experience teaching across a variety of ages and abilities, from hobbyists to undergraduate music students. I have taught in a diverse range of educational settings, including home and online tuition, private music studios, schools (as both a peripatetic music tutor and teaching assistant), and charities (working in Southend YMCA's music studio).
Approach
I have a flexible and personalised approach to teaching, which caters for each student's individual needs and ambitions without ever losing sight of what is required to achieve technical proficiency and sound musical understanding.
Students are encouraged from the outset to learn pieces by themselves to the best of their ability, in order to cultivate self-reliance and strong sight-reading skills. Students are guided and taught practice strategies and good technique, while being encouraged to work out the notes and rhythms themselves. My job as a teacher is to make myself unnecessary so that students can teach themselves the music they love at any point in their life, whether they are having lessons or not. I work towards this goal from the very first lesson.
I have a wide ranging experience of musical styles and am happy teaching all genres up to Grade 8. However, my specialist areas are classical music, contemporary classical, film and video game soundtracks, and electronic music.
Gradings are entirely optional, and students can take as many or as few grades as they would like. I have taught ABRSM, Trinity, and MBT syllabuses, and have a 100% pass rate.
First Lesson
Your first lesson will be a friendly and relaxed get-to-know-you session, where we can discuss your previous experience, your interests, and your ambitions/goals. Students will be given the opportunity to demonstrate what they know (whether that's any music or exercises already learned, or theoretical knowledge). If you have any learning material (sheet music, theory etc) or recordings of your work please be sure to have it to hand.
