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.

Other services:
If you need an accompanist for your Grade exams in Singing or another instrument, or if you want to practise with an accompanist before a big auditon, give me a call. I can help you bring out the best in your performance.

Do you need help with Aural (Ear or Listening) tests for exams other than Piano? I can coach you.

Do you need to study for Music Theory Exams?  There are some great learning materials available these days so it's nothing to be scared of!

I also teach singing, primarily for musical theatre.
