I am a very patient, experienced and friendly teacher who comes to your house. I have been teaching the piano for over 15 years, and I teach at beginner and intermediate level, or Grade 1-6, children and adults, exams or pleasure. I also prepare pupils for Grade 5 Theory ABRSM. I have so far primarily used ABRSM for piano exams (with my pupils often achieving merit or distinction), but I would be happy to use other boards as well. I really enjoy teaching both children and adults and I believe that the pupils should enjoy music, and that everybody should progress at their own pace. I try to find individual interests, and hopefully never just push from one grade to the next. My degree is in music pedagogy and I draw on this as well as on my wide experience.
I live in Enfield, but I can travel to many other areas in NW London, depending on availability.

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.
