Welcome to the Grade5TheoryTutor page.

I’m Andrew Durban, a professional double-bass player and teacher based in Norwich.

I run online lessons helping students prepare for the ABRSM Grade 5 Theory exam through a structured ten-lesson course.

From time to time I’ll share music theory tips and insights from teaching here.

You can find more information about the course here:

At Grade5TheoryTutor we specialise in preparing students for the ABRSM Grade 5 Theory exam. You can be part of an online class, with great group dynamics making it fun and engaging, or one-to-one online tuition is also available. Tutor Andrew Durban is a highly experienced classical double bassist and music teacher who studied for 5 years at the Royal College of Music. He aims to always give students a broad understanding of a subject area before delving into detail, and adapts to the individual learning style of students. If you, or someone you know is at that point of needing to pass Grade 5 Theory, then join us online for a musically enriching experience.
