I teach all ages, this includes adults as well! Students who have began with me in my teaching career are now undertaking their piano exams. We do lots of musical activities in our lessons to improve a certain area in their musical knowledge. We play and learn different repertoires, covering a lot of musical genres and keeping their motivation and interest going. Some students have different goals that they want to achieve in music and I will aid them in whichever path they decide to choose. Some of my students are not interested in passing grades and would rather play the piano for their own enjoyements.
All students learn differently and I suit my teaching to each of their learning needs. Re-explaining things if I have to and I always make sure that they have understood what we have done at the end of their lesson.
Finally, lessons are done in your own homes which means that a keyboard or a piano is needed for us to do lessons on. Fees may vary depending on how far away you are from me.

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.
