Learn to Play the Piano Make Music
Piano Lessons and Music Theory Teacher Ealing, London England
UK Piano Page
Hello and thanks for reading! I teach in a relaxed and friendly style and can accommodate all levels and abilities. My students have the opportunity to learn on a full sized grand piano to maximise their learning.
I'm a professional musician offering tuition in piano and music theory. I have completed courses at the Royal Academy of Music in London taking masterclasses with stars such as Gwilym Simcock, Gerard Presencer and Joe Lovano. While specialising in Jazz and improvisation I'm classically trained and can teach a wide variety of classical, romantic and baroque styles. I can teach the Classical or Jazz grades from 1 to 8 and up to diploma level. Everyone is welcome and I can teach over and around London. My approach is relaxed, friendly and encouraging, yet at the same time I like to guide my students to see them really improve and do well. My goal is to see them progress to a point where they have the most freedom to express themselves musically. I can give coaching towards the ABRSM grades 1 - 8 up to diploma level, practical and theory. I'm also able to prepare students for the ABRSM Jazz grades and the ABRSM Jazz diploma. Alternatively I'm happy to teach the Guildhall or Trinity exam syllabus, if the student prefers.
My rate is £35 for an hour's lesson.

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.
