Detailed Information

 

Making music is the activity about which I have been most passionate throughout my life, and since January 2000 I have discovered a similar enthusiasm for teaching.  Although I have taught music on a one–to–one basis at various times in my life, it has been from 2000 that I have had the most interest and commitment, and this is reflected in the training I have undertaken for the profession in recent years.  Additionally, I value highly the opportunity to contribute as a teacher to my local and neighbouring communities.

Teaching Experience

Overall, I have a fairly broad range of teaching experience, as it includes, in a variety of learning contexts and professional roles, music, numeracy, literacy and other National Curriculum subjects besides music (as a supply teacher).  The learning contexts include college, state and independent secondary schools, small–group workshops, distance–learning and one–to–one lessons.  My roles have included curriculum design, lesson planning and teaching, supply teaching and lecturer.  In music, in addition to teaching individuals in my home, recent professional training has led to a variety of external posts, including:

Classroom and Group

To gain a comprehensive understanding of my classroom and group teaching experience, please read the personal statement indicated above, either by clicking there or here.  Supplemental to that information, I will add here that in 2001, I guest–lectured at the Slade School of Fine Art (London), giving a historical and comparative presentation of the music of my primary jazz mentor, the legendary tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh.

 

I hope this has been helpful and encouraging.  If you have any questions or wish to enquire about lessons, I would welcome your call (020 8558–6829).

 

Yours faithfully,

Claude Alexander
