Hi! I’m Kyla Gabka and I have been studying the performing arts since I was four years old. I am a singer, pianist, violinist, and actress, and I currently offer private virtual violin, viola, piano, and voice lessons. I have a BA in Music and BA in Musical Theatre from Columbia College Chicago. I have had so many wonderful opportunities to share the knowledge that I have gained throughout all my time of being a performing artist. I am a signed artist with Boosted Entertainment, and I am a Producer for the group Musicality, semi-finalists on AGT season 11. Not only do I assist in creating and directing music videos and original music for the group, but I also get to perform at incredible events and venues with them: UNICEF Won’t Stop (with Jordin Sparks), Lollapalooza, KultureBall 2019 with Marc Martel, the Rosemont Theatre, TEDx with Ari Afsar and Miguel Cervantes (Chi-Hamilton Stars), and McDonald’s WWC (opening for Imagine Dragons, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, and Bruno Mars). I have been in numerous music videos with the group and have led recording sessions. A few videos I have worked on (“This Is Me” and “From Now On”) have even gained several million views! I have had the honor to star in the film “First String” as Rebecca Carlisle, and I am reprising my role in the sequel. I have had so many wondrous opportunities to share my craft with others, and I am enthusiastic about sharing even more through teaching and performing.
Eliza teaches singing lessons for all ages and abilities. She believes that everyone has a voice and all we need to do is find that voice and let it flourish. We’ll pick songs ideal for you, in the right key for your range. Eliza also encourages you to work on songs out of your comfort zone in order to challenge you. She does lots of recordings within her lessons to enable you to learn through hearing yourself back, as well as perfecting a complete recording to mark your progress. Eliza also puts on quarterly private showcases at a cosy cocktail club in the heart of Bristol, providing you with a fantastic opportunity to perform to family, friends and fellow students. Not only are these events superb for your confidence, but they are also full of fun and warmth and are truly uplifting for all involved! Music Qualifications & Achievements: BA Hons in Commercial Music Grade 8 Distinction in Rock School Vocals I run a successful community choir, Bristol Choir Brigade I have: Hosted several music events and judged at competitions such as Open Mic UK and Teenstar Performed professionally at several private events over the years Been a session singer for various projects over the years Eliza also came up with the idea to produce a remake of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”, the BBC’s 1997 Various Artists version. She wanted to portray her students’ progress: all ages and skill levels, highlighting the fact that you can take up singing whatever stage you’re at. Most of the students featured in this video have never sung to anyone before or even knew they had a voice. Eliza wanted her students to pick a Bristol location of their choice: somewhere important to them or their favourite landmark. She then brought her students together to form a choir for the gospel section at the end of the song.
Robert is a Doctor of music and an internationally recognised composer, musician and writer. After completing his PhD in music he established a successful private teaching practice in Stockport and South Manchester. His students and clients range from beginners (children and adults) right through to experienced professionals and teachers. Robert has been teaching for over 20 years, both privately and as a University Lecturer. He has experience of preparing students for performances and auditions (for example, Chetham’s, Leeds Conservatoire, RNCM), and exams up to diploma level, with a 100% ABRSM examination pass rate (usually with distinction). Recent success stories include students who achieved 99 (out of 100) for ABRSM Grade 5 Theory and 146 (out of 150) for Piano Practical. One of his students’ was invited to take part in a special concert organised by the ABRSM after they achieved one of the highest marks during the Spring period. Robert’s students have been successful prize winners in various music competitions and have attained excellent results during school and college examinations – for example, many have achieved A* in their GCSE music exams. Lessons can be configured to support and complement work undertaken for GCSE and AS/A level music examinations etc. They can also be designed to improve general musicianship, including sight reading, aural skills, improvisation, and aspects of composition. Robert has had success with students of all ages and abilities, from 3 to 75. Teaching methods are adapted to suit the student, involving an analysis of both the way a student learns music and the way that they perform. Strategies can then be developed to overcome specific musical and technical difficulties or to find a suitable approach to the music in question. In relation to this, Robert has an awareness of various relaxation techniques that can be used to enhance general pianistic technique. He is also able to help with issues of performance anxiety, and can suggest various strategies and techniques to reduce or minimise its effects. Aspects of sound production and quality of tone are also covered during lessons (Robert has a particular affinity with the Romantic and Impressionistic repertoire, especially the works of Chopin, Debussy and Scriabin). As a composer, Robert is often very interested in the way that a specific piece of music has been constructed, providing a piece-by-piece analytical commentary for students, including background information on the composer and the context of the works composition. This helps to create an informed interpretation, including an understanding of both the architecture of a piece and the musical ideas contained within it, leading to a more effective communication of the music. In addition to piano lessons, Robert offers tuition in composition, electronic music, music production, music history and music theory. He can work with any of the major communication platforms including FaceTime, Skype, Teams, WhatsApp, and Zoom. Lessons can also be conducted over the phone – Robert recently helped a student to achieve a distinction for ABRSM Grade 7 performance through regular phone lessons (without video).

My name is Ashley Kingsley. I’m a piano teacher based in Brighton, with a Masters degree from the Royal College of Music. I teach all ages from 7 and up, and I happily teach beginners to very advanced levels in all styles of music. My experiences as a professional pianist have taught me that we are all different and unique in our tastes in music, so being very flexible is vastly important especially when teaching the piano. I do believe that for beginners and school children it’s highly valuable to learn to read music. Music notation is a unique language, so it’s important to understand the basics of this in order to lay down the foundations of your practise. I vastly encourage learning to play the music that interests you. In fact, I feel it’s mandatory to learn songs you love – after all, that’s why you’re learning right? I strive to be as honest with students about there practise as possible and will always do this in a very gentle way. It’s vital that all students feel comfortable asking me when there is something they don’t understand and that they respect my opinion. Parent’s responsibility: I keep parents up to date with every lesson. I encourage parents to observe lessons if they wish and to help with productive practise for their children. I also take notes on every lesson which can then be emailed to parents. Atmosphere: I am very easygoing as I remember having many piano teachers who I dreaded seeing! My goal is to make everyone feel comfortable and to learn in a fun environment. Music Qualifications & Achievements: Masters in Composition for screen from Royal College 0f Music I’ve composed Music for many Music Library companies and 2 feature films in US, I’ve also done full orchestration for Beverley Knight for Andrea Bocelli European tour 2018 As a session pianist, I’ve played for numerous artists including: Beverley Knight (20 Years – world, support tours including Prince, Bryan Adams, Carlos Santana, Jamiroquai, Take That) Jimmy Cliff (2003 tour) Chris Rea (2000 world tour)

I’m currently studying towards a Master’s degree in violin performance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire. I specialise in classical music and love playing in orchestras and doing chamber playing. I have extensive experience in teaching, especially younger children as I worked in a nursery, as well as working as a private nanny and music tutor. I am originally from Suffolk, but I am now based in London for my studies. Music Qualifications & Achievements: I hold a high second class honours bachelor’s degree in music from King’s College London, as well as grade 8 distribution ABRSM violin and grade 7 merit in piano. I have 10 GCSE’s (5As and 5 A*s), and 3 A2 levels (3As).

From classical to jazz to your favourite pop tunes, my aim is to help you discover the joy of playing while keeping you motivated and engaged along the way. I graduated from the renowned BRIT School with top marks before earning a First-Class Honours degree in Music from the University of Surrey. My academic focus on jazz composition and advanced harmony continues to shape and inspire both my teaching and my playing today. With more than 15 years of piano experience and eight years of teaching, I’ve worked with students aged 3 to 60+, from complete beginners to advanced players preparing for diplomas. I teach in a wide range of styles—including classical, jazz, and popular music—and always strive to make lessons enjoyable, creative, and rewarding. Whether your goal is to perform Chopin, explore jazz improvisation like Bill Evans, or simply play your favourite songs for fun, I’m committed to helping you reach your goals. Alongside teaching, I also work as a session musician and composer, collaborating with acclaimed artists across different genres—experience I bring into my lessons to keep them fresh, relevant, and inspiring.

Piano lessons: what to expect
Piano lessons near you
Great piano lessons combine structured technical development with repertoire that inspires you. Search by location to find local teachers for in-person tuition, or choose online lessons to access specialist tutors in your chosen style.
Who piano lessons are for
Piano suits learners of all ages — children, teens, adults and returning players. Lessons can be tailored to beginners, hobbyists, exam candidates, and aspiring performers.
What you’ll learn in piano lessons
Lessons focus on technique, rhythm, reading, ear training, and musical expression. Teachers create progressive plans so you consistently improve week-to-week.
Online vs in-person piano lessons
Online lessons are effective for repertoire, theory and technique when recorded materials and clear audio/video setup are used. In-person lessons offer direct physical guidance and instrument-specific coaching.
A simple learning path for piano
A good teacher will tailor lessons to your goals — but here’s what progress often looks like.
Develop posture, hand position, basic sight-reading, simple scales and arpeggios, and a practice routine that builds consistent progress.
Expand technique with scales, arpeggios and exercises; learn pieces across styles and build expressive playing and musicality.
Refine interpretation, explore improvisation or accompaniment, and prepare confidently for exams, recitals, or studio sessions.
Getting started: what you need
Keep it simple at first — your teacher can help you choose the right setup.
- A reliable upright or digital piano with weighted keys is ideal — full-size 88-key preferred.
- Piano bench at the correct height helps maintain relaxed posture and technique.
- A metronome and a simple practice plan (20–40 minutes daily) yield far better results than occasional long sessions.
Styles & goals your teacher can support
Choose a direction — lessons can be tailored around what you actually want to play.
Technique, interpretation, sight-reading, and repertoire from Baroque to contemporary classical traditions.
Harmony, voicings, comping patterns, lead sheets, improvisation practice, and repertoire building.
Song accompaniment, chordal arrangements, studio-friendly techniques, and performance-ready repertoire.
Structured technical work, piece selection, sight-reading practice, and mock exam coaching for ABRSM, Trinity and other boards.
