In his new studio in the heart of London's South Bank, Walter Fabeck is now offering personal, tailor-made programmes of music tuition.
Drawing on 20 years of professional performing and teaching, Walter
brings a combination of experiences together to illuminate the subject.
His method is based on developing an understanding of music from its
primary elements - melody, harmony, rhythm and tone - which cross
the borders of genre, period and culture.
Walter's pupils range in age from five to seventy-five, and thanks
to his broad musical interests he can nurture skills and illuminate
styles ranging from the classical repertoire to contemporary music.
With wide experience as a private teacher, he's fully qualified to
enter students for graded exams in Classical Piano, Jazz Piano and
Theory, from 'Prep Tests' to advanced Diplomas. Students of all abilities
are welcome, from beginners upwards. Tuition is friendly and informal,
but always focussed on realising the potential of each student to
the maximum.
Walter can also teach all aspects of contemporary composition, including
exploration of creative music technology, centred on the Logic software
environment.
After gaining an Honours degree in music from Surrey University, Walter
began a career as a pianist and composer which has taken him around
the globe and into a diverse range of musical worlds. These include
working in contemporary music with orchestras such as London Sinfonietta;
accompanying silent films with Harmonie Band; regular engagements
as Musical Director at the National Theatre, and numerous recording
sessions for Film and TV. He has broadcast new solo piano works on
BBC Radio 3. Walter has recently been working with The Michael Nyman
Band, The Hilliard Ensemble and the cutting-edge ensemble Icebreaker
in Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and Holland.
As a composer he has created many scores and soundtracks for a wide
range of media including contemporary dance, video, theatre and live
performance. He has also researched and developed a revolutionary
electronic musical instrument, the Chromasone,
which has been seen around Europe and on BBC1's Tomorrow;s World.
Walter has extensive experience in all areas of Music Education, having
held many posts ranging from schools workshop leader around the UK
to Guest Professorships at the Royal Conservatory of the Netherlands.
