Welcome to
Hello! I am Beth Hopkins and I'm a professional piano teacher in Camberwell. I offer high-quality tuition to students of all ages and beginner to intermediate levels.
I am a passionate and enthusiastic musician, who thrives in learning new skills and meeting new people. This extends to my love of teaching, as I am able to share in the new experiences a beginner or experienced player discovers during their lessons.
I am very confident in teaching up to grade 6 piano, and ensure that my lessons are fun, engaging and informative. Each lesson is tailored to each individual student, and I include music theory along the way.

I am a confident and experienced teacher, having spent many years as a performer and teacher. I am pleased to offer lessons in any style of music, however I specialise in the styles of Jazz, Classical, Pop, Blues, Soul, Rock, Funk, Afrobeat and Indie.
I pride myself on being a friendly and professional teacher. I work with my students to create a plan of lessons tailored to their goals and learning needs, meaning they can improve their skills whilst playing the music they love.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I am experienced teaching students of all ages and abilities from complete beginners to intermediate (Grade 6) musicians.
Learn the notes on the Piano, how to build chords or scales.
After achieving a First from Southampton University in Music (BA) in 2016, I went onto teaching students privately from age 4-60 and whole-class and group lessons in schools for Southampton Music Services.
I have been gigging regularly for around 9 years, playing in ensembles covering many genres such as Jazz fusion, electronic funk fusion, Afrobeat, Indie, Jazz Big Band, Classical Wind Orchestra, pit bands for musicals and many other ensembles influenced by indie, pop, hip-hop, rock and others.
I am also an avid composer and songwriter, and love involving creative activities in lessons. Due to this, my playing is eclectic and it allows me to be able to teach a wide range of styles. Alongside jazz, I started my musical career playing classical piano and saxophone. Since I have played in a Wind Orchestra at University in which we played styles from classical to musicals: I have also played in the pit for various musicals.
Learn how to play your favourite songs, and even compose your own!
I am an avid composer and songwriter too, having written songs for myself to sing and play at a piano, or to perform with my bands. I am more than happy to teach composition or music theory. I also have a clear DBS (CRB) certificate.
I am passionate about music therapy, having studied modules on this at University and volunteered in a care home to run music sessions with individuals with Alzheimer's and/or dementia. In 2018, I created a therapeutic music programme for primary school children to help develop key areas through music, such as developing non-verbal communication, improving team-working skills and expressing emotion.
Here are some of my favourite spots for music shopping in Camberwell.

South London Music caters for the needs of all levels of musician, ranging from a baby's first introduction to music (CDs, percussion), to music students of all levels (starters to grade 8 and beyond).
