Welcome to the Fogel Academy!

Whether you are an aspiring player entering a career in music, or simply a keen student or adult with a passion for music, I am here to offer you the very best in online teaching. With over a decade at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London and thousands of lessons delivered online and at some of Britain’s leading private schools, I have coached students of all levels. I am also an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, London, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK. My specialization in online teaching started in 2020 and I have refined this way of teaching to make the experience seamless, flexible, tailored to you, and accessible anywhere.

“You’ve always been an incredibly hands-on and supportive teacher, who has given me the tools to improve technically but also musically. Your solutions to problems are innovative, they’re creative, they work, they’re very music-driven. And also, your support of me as a musician – organising concerts, learning how to arrange music, playing in ensembles, playing duets together, promoting myself – you’ve been incredibly helpful with all of that. I’d recommend your lessons to anyone who wants to be a serious player, a professional player, or someone who just wants to get better and improve.”

Martin always offers highly constructive and insightful advice. Always very supportive and positive about possibilities and musical expression in general. He was very important for my development as a player and he is really a big reason that I am currently here at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria. He really is the kind of teacher you’d be lucky to have.”

“I studied with Martin in my teens and I owe him many thanks because I am entirely sure I would not have been admitted to study a Bachelor of Music at Trinity Laban, London, without his help in preparing for my auditions. It was during the time that I studied with him that I felt I made a particularly big jump forwards in my development as a musician. From the first lesson onwards we worked on my weaknesses and furthered my strengths, and throughout it all, I got great, clear advice and support that form part of the musician that I am today. Now that I am a teacher myself, I have found myself adopting some of his especially helpful teaching methods.”
