Tutors at Amped Up Music Academy

Tom has undergraduate and masters degrees in music from The Open University and is starting his music PhD at the University of Leeds in September. He says he’s always wanted to set his piano on fire at one of his gigs, but funnily enough, nobody has ever let him!

Harry has a degree in music from York St John University and is grade 8 on guitar. He also plays bass, drums, ukulele, banjo & mandolin! Harry is a self-professed comedian, but nobody at Amped Up agrees with him.

Liam is a true multi-instrumentalist who plays the drums, guitar and bass all to a grade 8 standard. When he’s not teaching, he performs nearly 100 gigs a year with his band, where he’s known as ‘the human metronome’.

Lewis has undergraduate and masters degrees in music from Hull University, where he came top of his class. He’s also grade 8 on guitar. Lewis loves a good mystery and likes to think he’s one of the Scooby Doo gang.

Plami has a degree in popular music, and alongside her teaching at Amped Up, she provides vocal training for choirs. She once participated in a nationwide competition and won the role of Darling’s mother in the original British musical ‘Peter Pan’.

Ralph is a grade 8 pianist with a music degree from Birmingham conservatoire. He cut his teeth performing on cruise ships whilst travelling the world and gave up a viable career as a lego master builder to become a professional musician!

Dave’s a guitar & bass player with a degree in music technology from Leeds Met. In recent years he’s become obsessed with learning everything about guitar playing and music theory and he’s here to pass that knowledge on!

Lew has a degree in Music from Leeds College of Music. He plays piano, guitar, bass, ukulele and a bit of banjo, and he’s grade 8 on piano and guitar. Lew has a not-so-secret obsession with country music (but we promise he won’t teach you it unless you ask!).
