Richard tutored me for the GCSE music exam and was absolutely excellent from beginning to end. He answered all my questions with his vast base of music knowledge and providing above and beyond exam resources. In the end, I passed with flying colours (a high 9). 100% recommended.

Richard absolutely transformed my A-level composition! It was in such a state before I started having sessions with him... but thanks to his help, I managed to submit something I'm genuinely proud of. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Richard taught me composition while I was an undergraduate student, during which time I won the University composition prize as well as scholarships to further my training as a conductor. Richard’s one-to-one leasons gave me the confidence to try new things and persue the music that I felt connected to, rather than what a syllabus dictated. I don’t think I would have the international career I have now, if it were not for his teaching.

We found Richard after having been let down by one or two other tutors who said they could teach to Grade 8, but couldn't.
By contrast, Richard REALLY knows his music theory, and is making a huge difference to our daughter’s studies at this level.
We would absolutely recommend Richard to anyone, due to his patience and relaxed style, while putting difficult concepts over in a plain and straight-forward way.
He is a huge asset to Super Prof.

Richard has been teaching my son Composition and Music Theory via online lessons for the past 3 years. Under Richard’s guidance my son sailed through his Grade 8 Music Theory exam and built a composition portfolio which secured him offers to study composition at leading London conservatoires. He is now starting his undergraduate BMus composition course at the Royal College of Music in London. Richard’s guidance, enthusiasm and support have made a real difference. We are all hugely grateful for his support.

Richard is a brilliant musician and composer and a really dedicated teacher. He’s an excellent guide to learning more about the structure of music and how to listen deeply

Richard has been a great tutor for my children. He has really stretched them to their best whilst patient when they are struggling. Really recommend as theory and piano teacher.

Dr Bullen is really the best teacher I've ever had for the last three years, and I'm glad to say I looked forward to every lesson. He has bestowed a mountainous amount of musical insight upon me and as a result I feel more confident as a musician. I feel as though each lesson was a consolidation of my love for music. I am so grateful to have had someone teach me who is as patient and conscientious as teacher Bullen.

I've known Richard for many years: we've played together in orchestras, I've performed his own outstanding music and I'm familiar with his work with music theory students.

Richard is a knowledgeable, experienced, imaginative tutor who's generous with both his time and his ideas. Always patient and kind, he approaches each student as an individual, helping them to work on their weaknesses and play to their strengths.

Richard consistently gets exceptional results from his students, who find the experience of working with him extremely rewarding. I can't recommend him highly enough.
