Tutoring Experience:
I have taught privately for over 10 years - I have built strong and trusting relationships with all my pupils and I have a 92% merit and distinction rate with ABRSM exams.
My teaching is from home, where I can provide a quality piano (either for learning on or for accompanying a string pupil).
Tutoring Approach:
When we first meet, I like to discover what goals you are aiming for...if you are an adult looking to start a new skill for simple enjoyment, be it to achieve Grade 1 or to be able to play the Christmas Carol you've always loved, or if you would like your child to develop more confidence in the instrument to be able to take ABRSM grades. Whatever your intention, I will work with you to achieve these goals at the speed you are most comfortable. I will actively encourage questions - my desire is for you to understand what you are learning without feeling overwhelmed!

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.
