About Tobias
Music is my passion and skill that I love to pass on to others who want to learn it. I have many years of teaching experience and teach children & adults, beginner, to advanced, preparing for ABRSM and Trinity College Grade Exams, university, or just for your own personal musical goals, for which I tailor the lesson to your needs and prepare videos or recordings to practise with.

Learning should be fun and enjoyable and I provide a comfortable and friendly learning environment.
