I am an experienced and passionate piano teacher based in Dundee, Scotland. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student of the piano, I can help you achieve your musical goals. I offer 30-minute or 1-hour piano lessons in-person in Dundee and online anywhere in the UK. The first lesson is free, so you can try out piano lessons without prior commitment. While my background and training are classical in nature, my qualifications, interests and studies have all involved the study of classical music, I am happy to teach other styles such as pop and jazz music. What is most important, after all, is that the student find their piano studies interesting and engaging. It is important to me to find the middle ground between what the student wants to learn and ensuring that the essential skills and techniques of piano playing are mastered. Therefore, all my lessons, though the subject matter may vary in terms of musical genre, follow the same structure. We study the mechanics of playing the piano, sight-reading, music theory, and repertoire to ensure a strong foundation. My aim is not to produce automata who can only play what they have been taught, but independent pianist and musicians who can select their own repertoire from their preferred genres and play them. To this end, while my students do take exams, I do not teach solely to the exam syllabuses. I enter students when they are at that level of piano playing, not in order to bring them up to that level. The latter approach, in my experience, leads to a constant feeling of playing catch-up. It is better to achieve the level, and to take the exam merely as evidence of this. I am happy to teach all ages and abilities. Both children and adults are welcome, beginners and more advanced players. I have taught all abilities and led students successfully through ABRSM, Trinity and MTB exams up to grade 8 and beyond. Contact me to try piano lessons today!

Piano lessons: what to expect
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.
Piano suits learners of all ages — children, teens, adults and returning players. Lessons can be tailored to beginners, hobbyists, exam candidates, and aspiring performers.
Lessons focus on technique, rhythm, reading, ear training, and musical expression. Teachers create progressive plans so you consistently improve week-to-week.
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.
