Josh Winiberg Music

About

JOSH WINIBERG BA (Hons.) DipABRSM

Music lessons available in piano, trumpet, trombone, theory, composition, and production / music technology.
Lessons available in person and online. All ages and abilities welcome.

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.
Please get in touch to register for a discounted first lesson! After that, you can take up annual or termly subscriptions in order to receive big discounts on lessons, or book individual consultations if you'd prefer more flexibility.
