About Simon

Hi, my name is Simon Toner and I am a Glasgow-based composer, musician and teacher and I compose music for film, theatre, art and radio. My composition practice spans from electronic to orchestral textures with commissions for the BBC, Edinburgh International Book Festival & Sky Arts. My band Sekoya gives voice to me as a composer and double bassist in the interplay of jazz. I am part of a collaborative network of Scottish and London musicians and creatives and I have toured Europe as a bassist. My career highlights so far would be the BBC broadcast of Niamh McKeown’s ‘Good Girls’ after it was screened at international film festivals, performing with Tenement Jazz Band (Best Band Scottish Jazz Awards 2022) across Europe and collaborating with Ivor Novello winning composer Oliver Vibrans on his Sky Arts orchestral score recorded at Abbey Road Studios. My proudest moment to date was finishing recording our album in Memphis. I studied a BA in Popular Music at Edinburgh Napier University and diplomas from ABRSM and NFTS. I have applied over 15 years experience and a Popular Music degree in bass and composition to my teaching practice where I first and foremostly enable my students to grow a greater enthusiasm and love for music and sound. I have been teaching professionally for almost 10 years now. I am interested in teaching both adults and children. I can help you prepare for school music exams, Rock School Grades, ABRSM Grades and Music Theory exams. I can teach many different styles such as Rock, Blues, Pop, Metal, Funk, Folk, Jazz whatever you want! I play double bass and bass guitar regularly with a variety of bands, singers and DIY projects and have toured around Europe. I developed to become the musician I am today by expanding my musicality through teachers, some more typical than others. My music heroes are Miles Davis, Charles Mingus and those other jazz (and bass) giants but also film composers like Bernard Herrmann and Michael Kamen and unique artists like Bjork.

As a composer and graduate of Music I am happy to share my enthusiasm for music theory to help you study and pass exams and/or expand your knowledge so that you can understand music better and progress as a musician or composer. I teach from beginners right through to advanced professional level. I would always encourage students learning music theory to apply what they learn by playing/writing music as it becomes far easier to understand when learnt in context! I encourage ear training/active listening, sight reading and transcription in lessons and as homework. I tailor lessons to the student and their taste in music with my own transcriptions/teaching material and a selection of my favourite teaching books which I am happy to give recommendations on. I am happy to work through specific material if provided by the student. My teaching practice is a balance between enabling the student to commit to their practice by laying out clear goals and expectations, and presenting enjoyable lessons with a laid-back attitude that give full consideration to enabling the student’s enthusiasm for music and sound to grow. I enjoy working with students who are enthusiastic, whether with the simple goal of enjoying their music or greater aspirations for a career in music (not that the two are mutually exclusive!). I like teaching because it is challenging and requires the teacher to adapt to the student and to kindle their enthusiasm. A typical lesson would be 1 hour or for younger students a shorter lesson time can be arranged.
