About John

After playing professionally in York, from 1999 onwards I studied my Bachelor of Music at The University of Edinburgh, teaching Music at a Community Music for disadvantaged Young Offenders, performed vocally, on saxophone and piano. As a first study pianist I performed my Recital playing J. S. Bach's Chromatic Fugue and Fantasy (BWV 903), Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (Orig. 2 Piano Version) and Copland’s Piano Blues. I taught singing for The MGA Academy led by Murray Grant and Andrew Gowland and Stagecoach Theatre Arts in Edinburgh, Windsor and Portugal (First Choice Holidays). While completing my Postgraduate PGCE in Music at London Metropolitan I continued at Stagecoach Harlow, teaching in training schools from Walthamstow, Camden and Ealing where I worked as a Newly Qualified Teacher. I moved to Milton Keynes in 2011 continuing to teach 11 - 18 Year Olds including GCSE and A Level Music Technology. I became a Head of Music at The Durham Federation in 2015, later teaching in Dubai and Spain, where I held an Acting Deputy Head Title at a world leading British Primary School. I have up to date DBS Police Checks and Child Protection Training updated in Feb 2023. I look forward to helping people of all backgrounds in their musical journey! Best, John Croker.

As a passionate performer and teacher with over 20 years' experience, I always start tuition by finding out what inspires my students and working from their favourite styles and song choices. Once we’ve both agreed this ‘Set List’ or repertoire, I focus on teaching the relevant skills, knowledge and understanding behind any piece at any level from Classical to Jazz or Pop. I believe my students can achieve much more with a qualified teacher who is willing to learn any piece they are - and I benefit from sharing my expertise with them from the theory to the art of performing.
