About Sam
I have been teaching cello privately since January 2020 and I am extremely passionate about it - in fact I am still teaching my first ever student after more than 5 years! As well as my small group of private students, I have taught on the faculty at the Oxford Cello School, delivered numerous outreach projects for the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and I regularly coach amateur orchestras including The Chamber Orchestra in Clerkenwell. Alongside teaching, I am increasingly in demand as a performer - I work regularly with the country's leading orchestras, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra, and was previously the cellist on the London Philharmonic Orchestra's Foyle Future Firsts professional development programme. I received my MMus in Cello performance with Distinction from the Royal College of Music in Summer 2023, and I also hold a first-class degree in Music from the University of Cambridge. My main cello teachers have been Melissa Phelps, Josephine Knight and Bozidar Vukotic. I have also worked as a research assistant for the AHRC-funded project on Music, Migration and Mobility, based at the Royal College of Music, researching and giving talks on the legacy of musicians who migrated to the UK from Nazi-ruled Europe.

I am currently able to take on a small number of new students based in North, West or Central London, or for online lessons.
I teach students of all ages and at all levels, from beginner to grade 8+ and beyond, and also have particular experience teaching adults. While my teaching is very flexible and guided by the individual needs of the student, my first aim will always be to pass on the enthusiasm I have for making and thinking about music. My lessons are always challenging, and I never compromise on the high standards I set for my students' technical and musical progress, but I believe that the only way to achieve this is through a positive, calm and thoughtful approach to the cello. I am friendly and approachable, and I take great care to build a supportive relationship with each individual, to create an environment where students can ask questions, experiment, make mistakes, and grow in confidence to think for themselves.
I have an up-to-date enhanced DBS check.

Sam is a gifted cello teacher. He can look at your playing from every angle and has an endless fund of ideas to improve it. You will make real improvements in your sound and become more confident. I am sure of this after three years of lessons with Sam. Highly recommended.
Sam is an exceptionally able cellist with a unique understanding of each student’s learning needs from music basics to graduates. He instills trust and caring insisting on establishing a firm technical foundation before moving on to more advanced techniques. Sam is a wonderful teacher and a joy to work with.
