I am a qualified music teacher, specialising in piano and theory tuition.
My teaching career began in 2000 while studying for my music degree at the University of York, and continued during my postgraduate studies.
Since then I have worked as both class music teacher and Head of Department at secondary schools in Harrow and Hounslow, teaching music to KS3, GCSE and A Level students. I currently teach for Hillingdon Music Hub, have a current DBS certificate, and am a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM).
I have considerable experience of accompanying for ABRSM and Trinity College London examinations, as well as GCSE and A Level performances.

My son has been going to Josephine for piano lessons for just over 3 years and I have been really impressed with his progress. He loves his lessons! She is friendly and encouraging and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

Our 8 year old daughter is thoroughly enjoying learning with Josephine and looks forward to her piano lessons each week. She has learned so much and gained a huge amount of confidence in her abilities. We have found Josephine to be communicative and reliable and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

Tuning Temperaments
How many piano tuning temperaments are there?
There are countless variations, but most fall within three major categories;
1. Meantone, which generally concentrated the dissonance into a few unusable intervals (often called "wolf" intervals), so that the others could be Just. These are often called "restrictive" tunings, since there are certain intervals that are not usable. Good intervals are really good, bad ones are really bad. The Meantone era was approx. 1400-1700
2. Well-Temperament, which gives more consonance to the most often used keys, and more dissonance to the lesser used ones. Though not equal, these tunings are "non-restrictive" because all intervals can be used. The intervals range from Just to barely acceptable. Well-temperament refers to a genre, not a specific tuning. The Well-Tempered era is approx. 1700-1880.
3. Equal Temperament, which spreads the dissonance equally among all intervals.
There is no difference in consonance or dissonance between any keys, thus, there are no good ones or bad ones. Equal temperament represents a complete average. Dates of its acceptance are debated, but there is ample evidence that it was widely available by 1900 and is the predominate tuning on keyboards, today.
