Welcome to
Hi Everyone, My name is Karen & I'm a professional & experienced musician offering high quality piano lessons in Dundee.
My main focus is to make sure all of my students enjoy learning the piano. I really feel that the key to learning an instrument is to enjoy what you learn & I will always try to make sure we aim towards this together.
During our lessons we will learn a wide range of styles and genres with the option of learning towards graded exams if you like. I will make a lesson plan that best suits your needs.

You can take lessons whenever you want. Some students take weekly lessons as others take fortnightly lessons. The choice is yours.
I will tailor the lessons to make sure they are built around the genres and styles of music that you love. I will make a lesson plan that best suits your needs as a student & together we will learn what you want.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginner students and advanced students to take my lessons. What direction we go with the lessons will depend on your playing level. I offer tuition to ages 6+.
As a youngster, I studied piano and violin exams and participated in school and city orchestras. I then worked in the commercial indie and pop music business at record labels like Sony, BMG, and Rough Trade in London, subsequently moving to the US to work at EMI.
I returned to Scotland a few years ago for family reasons. I studied my degree in 'Applied Music' which includes composition, theory, performance, ensemble, music technology, scoring, sync placement, creating film music – so I have a wide range of skills.
I can help with tutoring and exam preparation, composition, theory, writing essays and advice for pop musicians, as well as progressive classical, folk and pop-oriented practical music lessons for all ages particularly fiddle beginners.
I love traditional folk music and play fiddle and accordion for fun with a focus in the pipe and fiddle music of the West Coast, Cape Breton and Ireland. I also offer tuition in a wide range of other styles including Classical & pop.
I volunteer in the local Sistema/Big Noise string education program and participate in many local community music groups. This gives me valuable experience with helping my students gain confidence in their playing and teaching my students a wide range of essential skills to further their musical careers.
The genres and type of music that you learn in your lessons are entirely up to you. Some students like to focus on a wide range of genres and others like to focus on one. I will make a lesson plan that works for you and what you are inspired by.
Dundee has a great range of music shops to cater all the musicians in the area. Here are a few of my favourite stores that you could check out.
