I now take my beginner students in the group format. Students are then invited if there is space into private tuition should they wish to take their studies further . When students are ready,  I can support them to progress towards  their practical  and theory  examinations grades from initial to grades 1-8

Online lessons are also available on Skype where you can learn how to play the piano from the comfort of your own home and the first online lesson is free. All you need is a device (phone, tablet or laptop)  a keyboard or piano and a willingness to learn!

Many people want to pick up the piano or the keyboard as a fun skill to share with others or for personal enjoyment. I am more than happy to teach students who are not preparing for exams but want to simply enjoy the piano as a hobby. 

I  teach a wide range of children's age groups and tutor many adults as well. I can help you learn classical pieces, jazz. pop, musicals, TV and film themes. I have a range of music books that can be used and students have access to a library of sheet music so they can practice. I also like to encourage my students to play duets with me which really improves inner pulse and rhythm awareness and above all is enjoyable and develops confidence in my students.

 Group lessons allow children to start younger as many young children are simply not ready for the intensity of individual lessons.  Learning in groups allows younger children to explore and experiment with music in a low intensive format. Once students are secure,  understand the fundamentals, show dedicated interest within the lessons and with their practice at home and are interested in taking the lessons further, then private lessons may be an option.
