EWAN MACKAY
As a music tutor, comopser, and public speaker, my world. It’s full of music, sound and creativity. I hope what you have to find here is both enlightening and interesting for you. Enter in.
About Me
Today I am a music tutor, composer and public speaker. I got my start in music at the age of eight when I began taking music lessons while in primary school – a fairly typical exposure to music for most children in the United Kingdom. What would follow – now two decades later, has been far from normal, and has been an extraordinary journey of self – and musical, discovery.
My creative work
Tutor
As a tutor I work with students of all ages across cello, guitar and piano. The core of my practice has always been that anyone can learn to play and enjoy music.
Composer
My work has been performed by ensembles such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Hebrides Ensemble, Red Note Ensemble as well as numerous solo performers.
Speaker
As a speaker, I am always keen to share my story with anyone who will listen. In sharing my story, my challenges and successes, I hope to inspire those who hear it to thrive.

Ewan Mackay's work was beautifully crafted and darkly lyrical.
I came to Ewan to get support in with piano, and have enjoyed rediscovering the piano and music since beginning lessons.
