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!

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.

I am a patient guitar teacher who is passionate about communicating musical technique. Drawing from a rich background in diverse musical genres, I bring a distinctive teaching approach that ensures success. I don't just focus on theory memorisation; instead, I make learning engaging and effective by demonstrating musical examples in action, training the ear as much as the fingers.

Hello! My name is Ashni, and I am a friendly and passionate music tutor specialising in piano lessons for children, while also offering music theory, violin, and guitar lessons. Music has been a huge part of my life since I was five years old, and I know first-hand how much joy, creativity, and confidence it can bring to children as they grow. My aim is to share that same joy with young learners, helping them not only learn to play an instrument but also develop a true love for music. I began learning piano and music theory at a young age and completed my Trinity College London exams up to Grade 5 in both theory and practical. Because I’ve gone through the process myself, I fully understand the journey students take when preparing for exams, and I know how to break everything down in a way that makes it simple and enjoyable for children. Alongside exam preparation, I also encourage learning for fun because music should be something a child looks forward to, not something that feels like a chore. My lessons are flexible and tailored to the needs of each student. For children working towards exams, I provide clear guidance and structured practice to prepare them for both theory and practical assessments. For those who prefer a more relaxed style, I offer fun piano lessons where we can learn to play songs that the child enjoys—whether it’s a tune from a favourite film, a popular song, or a simple melody they’ve always wanted to try. I also focus on teaching children to play by ear. I believe this is one of the most important skills a musician can have, and it gives children the confidence to explore music creatively by finding their own notes and rhythms without always relying on sheet music. I genuinely enjoy working with children, and I understand that every child learns differently. Some may need a slower, step-by-step approach, while others may thrive with playful challenges and creative exploration. My teaching style adapts to each child’s personality so they always feel supported and proud of their progress. I make sure lessons are kept short and interactive for younger children, using games, songs, and simple exercises to keep their attention and make learning fun. If you are looking for a patient, enthusiastic, and experienced tutor who can guide your child through piano exams, introduce them to music theory, or simply help them play their favourite songs, I would be delighted to help. I offer lessons that are engaging, affordable, and tailored to the needs of each child, and I always make sure the experience is enjoyable from the very first lesson. I look forward to welcoming new students and sharing the joy of music with them. Whether your child dreams of sitting exams, wants to learn how to play their favourite tune, or simply wishes to explore music in a fun way, I’m here to help make that journey exciting, supportive, and rewarding.
Georgia released her debut album in late 2017 which led her to a nomination at the BBC radio 2 folk awards. Although she now specialises in folk music she was originally classically trained as a vocalist and pianist from the age of 11 in both classical and jazz genres. She went on to study her degree at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, specialising in voice and songwriting and went on to become a full time artist, performer, teacher, and in-demand session player. She has worked as a free-lance producer, one fifth of a successful prog-rock band, as well as guest lecturer in schools and universities. Since becoming an artist, Georgia moved back to the south west and swapped a life of keyboards and studios for ceilidhs, festivals, and late night sessions. With such a breadth of experience, Georgia brings an all-encompassing attitude towards teaching. Having taught herself so much over the years, as well as studying with some of the top players in her chosen fields, Georgia is able to adapt her teaching methods to suit you and focus on improving you to the best of your ability.

Melodi Scarsbrook — Vocalist, Pianist, Songwriter BA (Hons) Professional Musicianship Offering lessons in Bristol & Caldicot "Melodi worked with me to improve areas of weakness in a way no teacher had before." With 8 years of teaching experience, I have worked at BIMM University and Bristol Metropolitan Academy alongside my private practice. My lessons are tailored to each student’s individual goals and musical interests, whether playing for enjoyment or preparing for exams and auditions. I also organise annual concerts, giving students the opportunity to develop their performance skills and confidence in a supportive environment. I began formal training in piano and voice at an early age and was awarded a scholarship to study at a specialist music school. This was followed by A Levels in Music, during which I achieved the highest performance grades (8) in both Piano and Singing. In 2018, I graduated from BIMM University with a focus on Popular Music Performance, Vocal Technique, Songwriting, and Teaching. After university, I spent time performing and releasing original music, some of which received airplay on BBC Radio Bristol.

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.
