I offer tuition in Piano, Electronic Keyboard, Recorder, Ukulele and Music Theory.
I encourage all my students to study Music Theory alongside their practical work on their instrument.
My approach is flexible and empathetic. I encourage students to work for exams, because it’s always good to have a goal, however exams are not obligatory and I would never force this on a student.
I will always discuss your progress with you and listen to your ideas. It’s important to me to help you get to where you want to be with your music.
I teach children and adults, from complete beginners to advanced musicians.
I’m happy to offer a trial lesson at no charge so you can see if this is for you! Please get in touch to arrange this. Or you can view my testimonials page to see what other people are saying.
Current tuition fees are £40 per hour, or £20 for a half hour lesson. Shared lessons are half-price. Grades 6, 7 and 8 theory lessons are charged at £50 per hour.
Lessons take place in a dedicated room in my house, equipped with acoustic piano, stereo sound system, natural light, table for theory work and a pleasant and friendly atmosphere! Digital exams also take place in this room.
I have a cat, so if you are allergic you will need to bear this in mind. He doesn’t often visit during lessons, but he does sometimes!
