The piano is an amazing instrument and tool which can unlock so much for a musician. Growing up, I trained as a pianist for 10 years in London, before moving up to Liverpool where I studied Music at the University of Liverpool and found a real passion for creating and producing music, which was a path made accessible to me through the piano. I’ve performed in multiple settings such as school concerts, gigs in bars, and musicals. This versatility is something that comes naturally to anyone willing to learn the piano! I first began teaching in 2018 and found real satisfaction in helping people realise their passions and hobbies, regardless of age and ability. Currently, I am teaching 40 piano lessons per week in various music schools, with students as young as 4 all the way to 54 (and beyond!). The room used for teaching also doubles as a home studio where I spend time composing and producing tracks for a variety of mediums. It’s a space dedicated to musical creation and practice. I have access to a Roland FP-30 which has great dynamic control and weighted keys. Music Qualifications & Achievements: ABRSM Piano Grades 1-8, all achieved with Distinction Upper Second Class Honours in Music from the University of Liverpool A-Level Music achieved with A GCSE Music Achieved with A Grades 3 + 5 Guitar

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.
