Please note I am based in Southampton, United Kingdom for anyone wishing to have in-person lessons. Alternatively, please contact me for online piano or theory lessons.
Biography:
I am an experienced school teacher, qualified with a Cert. Ed. (including a music course), who has recently obtained a B.Ed. "honoris causa" for services to education. I use this professional experience to privately teach piano and/or music theory, to both young beginners and adult students at my home in Hedge End, Southampton or online. I have taught over 70 pupils, who have successfully achieved Piano Grades 1 to 6 in the past ten years (including those with Merit and Distinction). Lessons, which can be weekly or fortnightly, are performed on a modern upright professionally tuned piano. I am registered with both ABRSM & Trinity College, and follow their respective syllabuses. Exams however are entirely optional, as I understand some of my pupils do not wish to take exams and instead just wish to enjoy being able to play or read music, whether it be classical, jazz, or pop.I can offer a selection of times to suit the age and experience of the pupil, which can be during the day or in the evening. I also offer an initial trial lesson. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
