I currently teach adult beginners and intermediate / advanced players, as well as younger learners with previous experience.
30-min, 45-min and 60-min lessons are available and can be 'in person' (in 'normal times'!) or online, using Zoom.
Tuition is student-centered: maybe you want to play for pleasure, or for exams, for relaxation and life-enhancement or for your career as a musician - all needs can be met.
Piano technique music-reading (standard notation, charts & lead sheets) jazz / blues / rock / contemporary styles Classical and standard piano repertoire
Improvisation and creative approaches accompaniment skills (for choirs, singers & instrumentalists)
Please contact me to discuss your needs and interests in relation to developing your musical self!
[NB:Students under the age of 12 will need to have attained competency in their playing equivalent to approx. ABRSM Grade 3]

'You've given me lots of new ways to expand my chord knowledge and songwriting abilities. Thankyou so much for taking the time to email me everything we did in the lesson!'
"I've loved every lesson, always fascinated with how much you know (and I know you've only taught me 1% of what you know), every lesson gives me a new challenge..." 'I really appreciate all the thought you put into our lessons and the follow-up music' 'I really enjoyed our session yesterday - came home full of beans and enthusiasm!' 'My son got 131 (Distinction) in his Grade 5, which he is absolutely over the moon with! It's amazing what a good teacher can do! Thanks for giving him the vote of confidence he needed.' |
"When I get a piece of music right it is one of the most pleasurable / relaxing / rewarding feelings I have ever had. It's been a real eye opener how difficult doing something physical has been, connecting my brain with actual movements, when all I've done for the last 20 years is work in an office typing away at a computer; it's made me realise how important variation is in life so I don't find it hard to do new things. I wish I had kept it up all those years ago (should have listened to mother...), and if I could play as well as you I would be at the piano 24/7. Thank you."
"Thank you for the super lessons, the progress report and videos sent - all very helpful and will keep my daughter focused over the next week. She is really pleased with all the work you have covered on chords and has said many times how much it has helped her. It's great to see her progressing so well."
