I am a qualified piano and music theory teacher, who was successful in Associated Board examinations up to and including Grade 8 when I taught in Huddersfield in the 1970's and early 1980's under my previous married name of Owen.

In 2006 I had successes in Bury with Grade 4 (Merit) gained by an 11 year old girl and Grade 2 (good Pass) gained by a middle-aged gentleman. In June 2008 a pupil passed the Rockschool Debut examination with a high mark of 86% and she is taking the Rockschool Grade 1 examination this autumn. I am happy to be flexible in my use of examination boards, having taken on two pupils whose former teacher entered them for London College of Music grade examinations.

I teach both adults and young people at any level, whether for examinations and competitions, or for leisure. As long as students are enthusiastic, I am happy to teach them. However, I do not teach jazz piano.

Confidence-building and encouragement are a must at all levels. Young children need praise and a genuine interest taken in their other hobbies and the subjects which they like at school. This helps me to build up a picture of the pupil's personality and aptitudes.

My piano is a British made Challen upright, which dates from 1972. It was overhauled in 2007 and has a good tone and action.

I am also happy to take students for music theory only to prepare them for Grade 5 as a stepping stone to their higher practical examination grades.

I have attempted to play several instruments, guitar, drums and keyboards. I contacted Jackie for piano lessons and found very them relaxed and rewarding. She is very understanding of my limited skills and encourages me to practice. I will continue...
