Teaching

“I will teach all ages from the very young to the mature student
as long as they are enthusiastic to learn”

Hello - I have a passion for music and have been teaching piano for more years than I care to remember and I still find teaching inspirational and fulfilling.

It does not matter about your age - your time of life should be no barrier to learning and enjoying music.

My aim is for you to enjoy learning new pieces of a wide variety of music including the jazz piano syllabus of both London College of Music and ABRSM - there is never any pressure to take examinations - that is entirely your decision.

Music Theory and Aural Skills

​

I can also help you with music theory, whether or not the piano is your instrument - it’s a like a map or sat nav to assist your journey forward.

​

Studying music theory aural skills helps:

• Understand how music works, irrespective of style or instrument and aids your own enjoyment 
   

• To write and play music accurately
   

• To detect errors
   

• Sight reading, styles and genres
   

• To explore your talent
   

• Composing your own tune or song
   

• Chords
   

• Children understand how music works

I have 30 years experience in teaching students of all ages and experiences.

​

In my opinion, a good musician must put into practice what he teaches and continually seek new challenges.

So I embarked on a new Diploma,  to be an Associate of Trinity College, London.  I was required a perform a 40 min recital of at least 2 pieces.  My selection included pieces by Schubert, Rachmaninoff and Beethoven.  Some were new pieces that I have always wanted to perform and some were past favourites that I have performed (and won!)  in piano competitions.
