I teach Piano, Cello, Aural and Theory from complete beginners to a professional level.

I am based in Epping and teach from home, but I can also travel to number of settlements in Essex including: Loughton, Woodford, Chigwell, Chelmsford and even Colchester!

My teaching reflects the diversity of my performance styles and I always give my pupils the technical faculty that they require to be confident performers. I also allow room for freedom and experimentation. As well as covering cello and piano technique I also instruct my pupils in music theory, aural/rhythmic training and stylistic improvisation. I have experience teaching absolute beginners to more advanced students with an age range of 5 – 65 years old.

I currently work at Saffron Walden Centre for Young Musicians, Holmwood House Prep School, Loughton Music Academy and Essex Music Services.

Melanie: ★★★★★

“Malachi has taught my son the cello for over a year. His friendly and professional manner meant that not only has my son made phenomenal progress but perhaps more importantly, he has also thoroughly enjoyed all his lessons and developed a real love for the cello. He has ensured my son has the correct techniques whilst also introducing him to a wide repertoire of music. I was very impressed when our lessons switched from face to face to via a screen during lockdown. Malachi’s online lessons offered the same level of engagement and technical support that we have come to expect from his face-to-face lessons. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Malachi and I know my son looks forward to his lessons every week!”

“Malachi is kind, friendly, bubbly and patient with my daughter. He has extensive musical knowledge and is very good at assessing her abilities and interests and adjusts lessons accordingly. He makes the lessons fun yet challenging and my daughter very much enjoys them thoroughly.”

Ali: ★★★★★

“Malachi is a very dedicated teacher who is passionate about teaching the cello. His skills as a cellist are demonstrated and his pupils aspire to his very high standard of playing. He is empathetic and encouraging. His practice notes sent after each lesson are detailed and clear. Malachi cares a great deal about his pupils and their development as cellists and musicians.”

Rachel: ★★★★★

“ Malachi knows the strengths and areas of development for his students really well. Lessons are tailored to their interests but also seek to broaden their knowledge and expertise into other areas of music. Feedback to students is really targeted with precise things they should work on to address technique and musicality.”
