London Music Classes: Ana Ortiz Music

‘Ana Ortiz is patient, extremely talented and fun. A wonderful inspirational teacher.’ – Amrita Agrawal (Guitar)

Ana Ortiz has personally recruited a group of talented music tutors who travel around West London to visit students in their own homes to teach classes – Ana herself covers electric and classical guitar, piano, keyboards and voice. ‘If you want to play the balalaika, I’ll find someone to come and teach you,’ she smiles.

‘Most importantly, my colleagues share my energy and passion for unlocking talent: our philosophy is to give people the tools and confidence to find their own voice through music. We judge our success by their progress.’

Ana and her team teach every age and ability – no previous experience is needed – and all musical styles from classical and opera to rock and pop. ‘We make sure the lessons are exciting and fun and I like to record them – it’s so important to listen back to the sound. Of course, we also tailor our approach to help those taking auditions or grade exams in boards such as Abrsm, Trinity and Rockschool.’

Every year Ana gathers her students together to stage a concert. ‘We are building a family of musicians and it’s lovely for them to play together. Music means the world to me and I want everyone to feel that same joy.’
