Piano Teachers Giving Piano Lessons in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales

Ben Socrates Piano Tuition MMus (pending) , BMus 1st Class Hons, ABRSM Grade 8 Distinction - Piano, Grade 5 Theory Merit



Ben offers private music tuition in and around London. He teaches all aspects of piano playing, including classical repertoire up to advanced diploma level, and jazz, blues, improvisation, composition and music theory from beginners to intermediate. All ages and abilities are welcome.

Based in Sydenham, South East London, Ben teaches from home and at Trinity College of Music in Greenwich, where he is currently studying a postgraduate programme in Piano Performance. Ben is also able to visit students at their homes for an additional fee.

A classically trained concert pianist, Ben also has a strong background in improvisation and writing music, and is experienced in jazz, blues and other popular styles through regular gigging with a number of professional bands. This means Ben can offer piano lessons in a wide range of styles and disciplines. Whilst some of his students choose to focus on classical piano examinations, others simply wish to learn for their own enjoyment. Others still find an affinity with jazz and improvisation, while some have needed to address gaps in their music theory. Ben always likes to encourage some crossover whenever possible. This means that whilst the student is able to play to their strengths and focus their skills, they are also getting the beginnings of an eclectic musical education, and with it the realisation of a fascinating world of styles and disciplines that are all beneficial to the musician’s development.

Please contact Ben to arrange a consultation lesson.
