Mathis Saunier's Profile

Background:

My name is Mathis Saunier, a London-based composer and guitar teacher. I began playing electric guitar as a child and studied classical guitar at the Conservatoire of Geneva, graduating with jury distinctions, before completing a composition degree at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. I currently teach classical/electric guitar, music theory, and composition at St Aloysius College and Harris Academy Clapham, working with students aged 10 to 35. My music has been performed by ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, and United Strings of Europe, and I also perform in a rock band. I'm passionate about teaching composition—helping students unlock creativity across genres from classical to electronic music. I adapt my teaching to each student's interests and background, whether they're writing for piano, guitar, or exploring production. I also enjoy working with adults, tailoring lessons to their musical journey and sensibilities.
