Online Music Tutor Saman

I have taught and supervised music at university level, including supervision at the University of Cambridge. My teaching has included musicology, analysis, listening, contemporary music, sound studies, aesthetics, essay feedback, and independent research guidance.

I currently teach Music at Abbey College Cambridge, working with GCSE and A-Level students on music theory, analysis, critical listening, composition, performance skills, and preparation for university entry.

I have also taught privately for many years across piano, violin, music theory, composition, improvisation, and musicianship. As Chair in Composition & Theory at Conservatoire One, I have taught contemporary composition, advanced theory and analysis, and score reading to students ranging from beginners to postgraduate level. I have also taught at the Music School of New York City and the Piano School of NYC, working with children, teenagers, and adults in both individual and group settings.

My lessons are structured around the student’s aims. In theory and analysis, I use explanation, score study, listening, and guided written work. In composition, I focus on form, notation, rhythm, harmony, texture, and the development of a distinctive musical voice. In academic writing and admissions work, I help students refine argument, structure, evidence, style, and intellectual clarity.

Music theory, harmony, analysis, composition, score study, academic writing in music, GCSE Music, A-Level Music, IB Music, undergraduate music, university applications, personal statements, portfolio preparation, interview preparation, research proposals, musicology, contemporary music, aesthetics, sound studies, piano, violin, improvisation, and musicianship.

I am especially well suited to students who need more than routine exam coaching: those preparing for university study, developing a composition portfolio, improving analytical essays, strengthening coursework, or seeking specialist feedback on musical and academic work.
