Teaching

I believe music education should be accessible to everyone. My teaching is built around finding what works for each student—especially when traditional methods don’t.

​

Many people feel shut out of music because of disability, anxiety, low confidence, age, or pressure to learn in a “proper” way. Through open dialogue and a collaborative approach, we set clear goals and map a practical route from A to B, balancing discipline with the student’s creativity and identity.

​

I teach with Crescendo Music School, where lessons use bespoke practice methods that may go beyond graded exams, while still delivering meaningful, high-value progress tailored to the individual.

"Damien played a key role in helping me pass Grade 5 Music Theory. His guidance gave me a strong, lasting understanding of notation, musical structure, and core classical concepts. He provided a supportive space to learn, discuss tricky topics, and prepare for the exam — and I achieved a Distinction."
