Joseph Fiddes

My name is Joseph Fiddes, and I am looking to tutor beginner and intermediate piano players in the Bayside area. I have 20 years of piano playing experience, and some tutoring experience from back in 2017. Since then, I have completed my university studies and am looking to get back into tutoring.

~~ PIANO ~~

I completed AMEB grade 8 in 2017. I have a Diploma in Music from the University of Melbourne, as well as a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Mechatronics Engineering. I've played in various bands and ensembles of vast genres including blues, jazz, and classical.
In addition to piano technique, I intend to teach a vast array of skills, including sight-reading, improvisation, theory, and composition. I
believe rote learning of repertoire is but a component of a full-featured music education.

~~ MATHEMATICS ~~
I am able to tutor the following categories:
Algebra, Calculus, Computing, Further Maths, General Maths, Geometry, Maths, Maths Methods, Maths Specialist, Programming

I performed my VCE in 2018, with an ATAR of 93.25 - with the following subjects:

• Specialist Mathematics.
• Mathematical Methods
• Computing: Software Design
• Music Performance
• English

For VCE students I would prefer to tutor the subjects above (except English), as I am more familiar with the curriculum, but I'll familiarise myself with the General Mathematics content reasonably quickly if necessary.

I believe in ensuring students are equipped with the tools and mindset to succeed on both their exams and their future work. This is achieved through thorough practise on a varied set of problems, and an attention to detail.

~~ AVAILABILITIES ~~

I'm available most weekdays all times, although 5-7PM is preferred.

I'm available for contact via email at fiddj13@live.com.au

I'm open to travel to any desired location near Sandringham.
