Learn piano face to face or online
During the lockdown I took all my teaching online. Now I teach both face to face ( at my home, with sensible precautions in place) and online.
Adults and children welcome! I currently teach from primary school age to over 60's. I've been teaching formally for over 14 years and informally before then, with 100% pass rate in exams from Grade 1 to Grade 8.
I believe in teaching a solid foundation in good technique whilst studying a variety of musical styles - classical, jazz and pop/rock - to suit the preference of the pupil. For students who would like to sit exams as a marker of progress and achievement, I am now using the MTB exam board. They have a very flexible approach and are Ofsted accredited to the same high standards as the other UK exam boards. Previously I had used ABRSM. I can also help prepare for the composition and practical elements of GCSE music.
It is important that students learn "how to learn" in order to motivate themselves to play the repertoire they want to play. So lessons will include work on technique and theory of music as well as developing listening skills.
I am a committee member of the Midlands Early Music Forum and a keen practical musician myself so I encourage my students to take opportunities to get involved in all kinds of music-making.
Contact me for a free trial lesson.
I live in a village which is convenient for Tamworth, Polesworth, Atherstone, Twycross, Swadlincote and surrounding villages.

Muzio Clementi 23 January 1752 to 10 March 1832 was an Italian-born British composer, pianist, pedagogue, conductor, music publisher, editor, and piano manufacturer. who was the son of a silversmith? the piano firm Clementi eventually became Collard and Collard.
He was encouraged to study music by his father, Muzio was sponsored as a young composer by Sir Peter Beckford who brought him to England to advance his studies in music. Later, he toured Europe numerous times from his long-standing base in London. It was on one of these occasions, in 1781, that he engaged in a piano competition with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Clementi published a highly respected piano method which even Beethoven endorsed him, sending pupils along to Clementi.
