About
My name is Cameron, and I am a professional keyboard player specialising in contemporary styles including Jazz, Rock, Blues, Funk and Soul, as well as music theory and production. I started playing the piano aged 8 and have been passionate about music ever since.
After working through the ABRSM Classical and Jazz grades, I studied Music and Music Tech A-levels at college. I was tutored by highly regarded industry professionals such as Brian Henry (Soul II Soul, Mica Paris) and Frank Tontoh (Amy Winehouse, George Michael) at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, where I achieved a 2:1 in Professional Music Performance (BMus).
I have over ten years of experience providing piano lessons to people of all ages and abilities, in person, in schools and online.
I`m passionate about music production and have worked in several different studios across England. I have built up a larger repertoire and played hundreds of gigs since 2019, when I began working on cruise ships.
I like to create my own documents to aid learning, and use methodical but fun teaching methods. One guide I`ve written is entitled `Essential Music Theory`, and features information about scales, chords, progressions, melodic features, improvisation and ear training. With a diverse knowledge of subjects such as music culture/history and technology, I aim to give students a broad overview of all things music related.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Cameron S.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Cameron has an excellent understanding of theory and practice and seems able to turn his hand to various aspects of music. He is an intelligent and personable man who can quickly cut to the chase. I would thoroughly recommend.

I’ve now had 5, one hour lessons, with Cameron and have found him very patient, extremely knowledgeable and an excellent pianist. I’m a returner to piano and keyboard lessons, after a twenty year gap, who is now beginning to make progress, thanks to Cameron. If you want to learn do not hesitate to contact him.
Cameron S. replied
Thank you very much Julie, I'm happy to be teaching you!

I have been very impressed so far with the way that Cameron teaches. My daughter is really enjoying her lessons and has improved so much in just three weeks.
