I enjoy meeting students of any age with the desire to take on a new challenge. Specialising in beginner learning, I use a variety of different approaches to ensure more than anything, enjoyment is taken from learning a new instrument. I have been teaching for a number of years and really enjoy helping students to progress with their learning, regardless of their personal goals. I am happy to support grades or provide challenges for enjoyment. Having worked in schools alongside my teaching, I have experience working with children who find some social and emotional situations challenging, and those who have dyslexia. I feel that music can be an excellent tool to provide opportunities for success beyond the classroom and encourage self-esteem through a new hobby. I offer both in-person learning from a purpose-built studio where lessons can take place, as well as online piano lessons to students based around the world via Zoom. Why not book a trial lesson now. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like any further information. I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you with your musical journey, wherever it will take you!

Piano lessons: what to expect

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.
