Simon Fox – Music Tutor
I have a yearly updated Enhanced DBS Certificate (formally CRB).
Anyone teaching children in their home must have one of these by law.
Online check available, get in touch for details.
Day and evening slots available.
Lessons can be taught online or in the Northamptonshire area.
Structured grade-lessons are divided into two sections: 30 minutes Practical followed by 30 minutes Theory.
Unstructured lessons can involve anything the student would like to learn within the hour.
Hi, I'm Simon. I work as a music tutor and freelance musician in Northamptonshire. I sing, play piano and a variety of stringed instruments. I have gained extensive knowledge and experience writing and performing music over the last 20 years.
I have been teaching music to children and adults for over 15 years. During this time, I have come to understand that each student responds to music differently and learns in their own unique way. I approach every student on an individual basis and I believe this is the most successful way to cater to their specific learning needs.
My goal is to ensure I get the best results out of each and every student - whether this involves studying music theory and practicing from grade books or just having fun while learning a cover song or writing a piece of music together. I aim to create a laid-back and fun atmosphere during lessons, while still maintaining structure and focus.
Music is a huge part of my life and I wouldn’t be who I am today without it. I take great pride in sharing what I know with anyone who is keen to learn and enjoy music.

“Simon has been teaching my son guitar for 3 years and is a punctual and polite teacher. My son really enjoys the lessons and has grown to really love playing his guitar. Simon worked with my son on his first exam for RSL Rock School for which he scored 90%. Simon is motivating and engaging in lessons and most importantly is able to instil an enjoyment from playing”
