Dom Thatcher

I am highly experienced in teaching music having worked for several music centers across London as well as teaching privately for many years. I am also a professional musician with 20 years of experience playing with accomplished musicians across the UK and Europe.

I use my own teaching method focusing on fun, sound production, timing, memory and natural feel to establish elevated development and progression, plus music theory. I teach beginner/intermediate lessons children/adults aged 8 onwards. I focus my lessons around the students goals and interests and can cover Saxophone/Clarinet grades through ABRSM.

I have over 8 years experience teaching music and have acquired a wealth of knowledge producing fantastic results with my students!

Quotes:
“Great teacher with the ability to make it fun from the start. Learning while having the joy of playing music” Barteld Timmermans

“Dom has been a wonderful teacher to our son, since day one, for over two years. While working in the acquisition of the technical skills, he has carefully selected tunes that were both challenging but also fun. Dom has always been very good at responding to our requests and adapting to our sons needs and interests. We highly recommend him!” Maryse Renier

“Dom has been teaching my dyslexic 15-year-old son saxophone for just over a year. He has made tremendous progress in that time, vastly improving his technical playing, scales and his sight reading. Dom’s lessons are structured but flexible and Henry can see the difference the lessons make and is therefore more willing to practice! Dom has also supported him through his Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award this year.” Sian Halyard

“Dom has given my sax lessons structure and discipline. Given half a chance I would have swerved my scales for something much more exciting, after all who wouldn’t, but through patience and relaxed teaching we have, in just over 4 years or so, reached a level whereby I can say I am enjoying my playing immensely and my music tastes have expanded which shows I can appreciate other music genres now. Thanks to Dom.” Simon Haycock
