About Loren
I am currently a 4th year BMus composition student studying with the accordion and violin. I have tutored the first year course "Aural I" in 2023 and 2024 and the second year course "Music Theory and Analysis II" in 2024. As a performer I have placed within the top three at multiple local and international accordion competitions, performed as a soloist with multiple orchestras including the Cape Town Philharmonic and Pretoria Symphony Orchestras. As a composer, I have composed for every orchestral instrument with over 30 works to my name and my works having been performed in Russia, Italy, the Czech Republic and various parts of South Africa. The highlight of my composition/performance career was performing my own Fantasy for Accordion and Orchestra with CPO in 2024 as this is the first work of its kind written by a South African composer. I received my Grade 8 accordion from the London College of Music with distinction in 2021, my Grade 8 violin from ABRSM with merit in 2020 and my Grade 5 theory from ABRSM with distinction in 2018.

Loren teaches very calm and focused ear training lessons to students at all musical stages. His friendly manner and willingness to help makes him very approachable. Loren works to understand each student, and responds to questions thoroughly and thoughtfully in a way that is understandable to each student. His understanding of and excitement about music is inspiring and infectious. Loren demonstrates and naturally emphasises how powerful a tool aural can be in the appreciation, performance, and composition of diverse music.
Loren's enthusiasm for music is infectious, and he always makes the content he is teaching very interesting and fun. He teaches aural within the context of real music so that the skills are directly applicable to practical musicianship. Not only will Loren help you train your aural skills, but he will also inspire you to become a better musician.
Loren is wise and knowledgeable far beyond his years. He is friendly, clear, and practical in his instructions. Everything he does is backed by a large pool of knowledge from just about every related musical sphere. Don't waste your time on others, book with Loren ASAP.
He is patient and takes his time explaining concepts. If you don't understand he will calmly find another way to explain the topic. I highly recommend Loren!
I have worked with Loren as a tutor for over two years and have found him to be incredibly kind, compassionate, but most of all, uniquely skilled and capable as a musician in all facets of music - performing, composing, and teaching. I would jump at the opportunity to learn from him.
Loren is always well prepared for lessons, with worksheets and explanations that show his vast understanding of the topic. His teaching style allowed me to learn effectively as he encourages us to ask questions, and he is very patient and friendly. He makes the effort, going above and beyond, to ensure that we understand everything that is taught. He’s a great tutor!
Loren has been my Aural tutor for around one and a half years now, and I can say that he's an excellent tutor. He's very good at breaking down material and getting concepts across, as well as giving practical ways you can go about practicing skills. He is also very patient and understanding if you are struggling with something, and will try find a way to go about it that works for you. I couldn't recommend him enough!
Loren is a fantastic music tutor who has helped me extensively with my Aural skills. He is attentive, adaptive and genuinely interested in helping his students excel. His knowledge of music is extremely broad and his passion for the subject is expressed in the way he teaches. I have learnt so much from Loren and can’t recommend him more highly!
I have known Loren since 2022 and have had the pleasure of working with them at UCT since 2024. He has always conducted himself with the utmost professionalism and care for his students. I recommend him as a tutor, without reservation.
I met Loren as a third year student at the South African College of Music, where I have been lecturing composition and orchestration. He is very enthusiastic, a faster worker and always up to a challenge. His knowledge of harmony and counter point, composition, orchestration, and various aspects of music theory is very thorough. I can strongly recommend him as a tutor in all these topics. He has had considerable experience at the College of Music tutoring student of other years and is highly regarded for his dedication and care. Please contact me should you need any further details.
