Welcome to the Website of LJ's Music Services
Introduction
Welcome to my website. My name is Lyndon Eatough-Smith, a music teacher and performer based in the Wye Valley and Golden Valley area of Herefordshire.
Instruments taught by me include Piano, Keyboard, Violin, Viola and Clarinet. In addition, Music Theory tuition can be provided as a separate lesson. GCSE Music coaching is available for those who wish potentially to improve their chances of achieving good grades.
I am happy to teach to different examination syllabuses or to teach purely for the pleasure of playing music.
For information about syllabuses taught and fees, please see the Tuition Details page.
For information about solo performances on offer, please see the Musical Performance page. In addition there are pages about music for wedding ceremonies, Wye Valley Jazz, an exciting new jazz combo and Bailey Music.
Approach
My aim is to provide a quality music tuition and musical performance service. While teaching, I will endeavour to cater for individual needs and learning styles. My overall philosophy is centred around the belief that learning about and playing music should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
"Music is a unique schooling for the brain, involving both right and left brain processes wedded together through fine and disciplined movement" George Odam,1995
"We are all musical, we just need the opportunity" Graham Welch, 2001
"The power of music cannot be underestimated. It's what makes us human beings, it's what makes us nations, it's what makes us a great civilisation. We cannot forget that ever. Music and art cannot be pushed to the margins. They have to be front and centre" Marin Alsop, Last Night of The Proms, September 7th 2013
