Nicholas Worrall
Hi there! I'm Nick. I am a musician, composer and electronic music producer with several years experience in instrumental teaching. I offer lessons in Music production, composition, jazz & pop keyboard skills, music theory, and sound design.
I have many years experience teaching all ages and abilities, both privately and in a music-school setting. I have also lead music production workshops and lectures, and have experience in leading pre-school music workshops.
Music Tech and Music Production
I am an electronic music producer and DJ, releasing music with London's Houndstooth Records as 'Wordcolour'. My own music ranges from ambient to more club-focussed sounds, and has an emphasis on sonic detail and striking sound design. As Wordcolour, FACT magazine described me as “one of the UK’s brightest new club producers”. I have also created music and sound design for commercial clients including Google, as well as for various fine-art projects. I offer lessons which range from beginner introductions to Ableton, to advanced mixing and producing. I enjoy helping my students develop the technical skills they need to realise their ideas and make great sounding tracks!
Jazz & Pop Keyboard Skills
I have been playing and improvising on the piano since I was a child, and the keyboard has always been my first love for composition, improvisation, and musical performance. I have a particular interest in contemporary, pop, and jazz music, and can cover anything from learning your first pop song, to more advanced jazz harmony and improvisation.
Theory and Composition
I studied music composition at degree level, and have written music for theatre, TV and visual art. My compositions have been used on television around the world, and on UK networks such as the BBC, ITV and Channel 4.
I teach music theory and composition from beginner to advanced levels, as well as the GCSE and A Level syllabus. Whether you want to write a pop song, a techno track, or a string quartet, I'll support your learning. I'm passionate about music-writing, and I love the challenge of helping my students find their own voice in whatever style they work in.
In any subject area, I help my students develop the tools they need to realise their potential. Music has been such a source of joy and satisfaction in my own life, and love helping people discover this too on their own musical journey!
