£40.00
Top Rated
Most recent review: 24 Jun 2023

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.

Ashni Shemaya - Piano teacher
Ashni Shemaya
PianoHaverstock Rd, Bristol BS4 2DA, UK1.9 km
£20

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.

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.

Weeks 1–6: Foundations
1

Develop posture, hand position, basic sight-reading, simple scales and arpeggios, and a practice routine that builds consistent progress.

Months 2–6: Technique & repertoire
2

Expand technique with scales, arpeggios and exercises; learn pieces across styles and build expressive playing and musicality.

Months 6+: Style & performance
3

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.

Classical
Popular

Technique, interpretation, sight-reading, and repertoire from Baroque to contemporary classical traditions.

Jazz & improvisation
Popular

Harmony, voicings, comping patterns, lead sheets, improvisation practice, and repertoire building.

Pop / contemporary
Popular

Song accompaniment, chordal arrangements, studio-friendly techniques, and performance-ready repertoire.

Exam & graded preparation
Popular

Structured technical work, piece selection, sight-reading practice, and mock exam coaching for ABRSM, Trinity and other boards.

FAQs about piano lessons in Bristol

Can lessons fit around work?

Yes — many teachers offer evening/online sessions to suit your week.

Do you teach songwriting or chords?

Absolutely. Chord work, lead sheets, and composing can be included.

Are graded exams required?

Only if you choose; plenty of students learn for enjoyment alone.

How often should I practise piano?

Short daily practice sessions (20–40 minutes) are more effective than infrequent long sessions. Your teacher will help design a routine suited to your goals.

Can adults learn piano?

Absolutely. Many adult learners progress quickly with consistent practice and a teacher who tailors lessons to adult learning styles.

Do I need a full-size piano to start lessons?

A full-size 88-key instrument with weighted keys is ideal, but a good quality 61–76 key weighted keyboard can work for beginners. Your teacher can advise on suitable options.

Are online lessons suitable for exam preparation?

Yes — many students successfully prepare for ABRSM, Trinity and other exams via online lessons when the teacher provides structured materials and targeted feedback.
