WHAT I DO
Hi my name is Emma Pearson and I am Purple Monkey Music! I provide tuition in guitar, keyboards, theory, music technology, songwriting and ICT at my home studio (or at your home if you prefer). Also, Purple Monkey Music specializes in School Projects which can be tailored to a Curriculum topic and delivered with either a bias towards Music or Music Technology. I also provide services in Composition, Recording and Production. I am CRB checked, have a Degree in Creative Music Technology and I am Music Leader and Protools 101 trained. I also have PTLLS and Arts Award Adviser status.
I believe that music can change lives, increase confidence, self esteem and motivation and help develop literacy and ICT skills. As a teacher I try to be fun, encouraging, positive, thorough and resourceful. I can adapt my teaching style and assessment methods to the needs of the individual and and can teach music just for fun or with a view to gaining ABRSM grade 5 or Rockschool qualifications.
BACKGROUND
From an early age I have had a passion for creating my own music. I developed a fascination with multitrack recording, bought a 4-track and progressed onto an Atari ST with Cubase.
I played guitar, keyboards and bass in various rock bands and eventually did a Degree in Creative Music Technology. During my Degree I built up a portfolio of high quality compositions, recorded a 40 piece male voice choir, learned how to author CD-ROMS and websites, learned how to fix and upgrade my PC and got my first taste of teaching.
I then got a job at a City Learing Centre in Rotherham where I honed my computer skills on both PC and Mac, designed a Database and delivered various creative projects to Primary and Secondary School Pupils and Adult Learners.
This led to a job as a Music Worker with Barnsley YMCA where I helped to develop and deliver Tarn Rocks, Arts Award, Songwriting, Recording, Production and Performance activities with children and young people. I also got to dabble in live sound again and occasionally helped set up at The Civic Theater.
