Welcome to
My name is Andrew Ford and I am a professional piano teacher offering lessons to students of any age or ability in the Bristol area. I pride myself on offering lessons that can cater to all styles and genres.
I like to try and ensure that my lessons are informative but relaxed and fun at the same time. I feel that learning an instrument should be fun and I try to keep it this way in my lessons.
I always tailor my lessons to meet the needs of that specific student. I understand that we each learn a little differently and love different areas of music, as such I like to make sure you're always learning songs you like by artists that you enjoy.

No matter what you're music tastes are, my piano lessons can cater for all styles and genres of music. I have experience both playing and teaching Pop, Classical, Reggae, Rock Funk or Jazz Music.
I have worked with both children and adults and currently teach a wide range of age groups. I understand that the way a child learns is different to an adult so I will always adapt the approach to the lessons accordingly.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I provide lessons for both total beginners and for experienced players who are just looking to take their skills to that next level.
Beginners Welcome in a wide range of Styles
I have been a professional Teacher/Performer since 2011 and currently have achieved a BA Hons in Contemporary Popular Music. I have experience teaching piano in a private setting as well as working in schools and teaching entire classes how to play the piano.
I've been fortunate enough to work alongside students from all walks of life and I love being a part of their musical journey and watching them grow. You'll always be learning material that you enjoy which helps keep motivation and allows for progress to be made.
As well as teaching both inside and outside of schools, I have also had a part working as a musician for a few small TV Adverts. This wide range of teaching and performing experience has proven invaluable in providing the best quality lessons possible.
Intermediate to Advanced Students Welcome
I have studied and currently achieved a Grade 8 at Distinction level through Trinity Rock School. As well as this I also have a Grade 5 in Music Theory through ABRSM. I like to ensure my lessons have a nice balance of practical elements as well as insight in to the music theory and the behind the scenes too.
Being a full time piano teacher I am able to offer very flexible teaching hours and lessons plans that work around your lifestyle. I can also play the guitar as well as offer music theory classes, so collectively I believe I can give you the tools you need to grow and develop as an all-round musician!
I am passionate about teaching music and love what I do. My lessons are always tailored around the student, but with emphasis on keeping the lessons as fun and relaxed as possible. Whether that's studying Classical Composition or Rocking out to your favorite Pop song, having fun is crucial to making progress on piano.
