I have started my BMus (Hons) Performance (piano) degree at the Royal College of Music in September. I have had some experience in teaching piano and cello previously, mainly non-official teaching for my family and friends. I would like to expand this as a career and work with other students as well. I have been a principal cellist for two years in secondary school, as well as a soprano section leader for one year, which has helped me in enhanced my skills in coaching. I have experience in not necessarily teaching young children, but working with them. I believe I am able to work with young children as well as in music teaching. I have also completed my ABRSM Grade 8 theory examination with merit. I will be able to teach the theory of grades 1-5. Furthermore, I have achieved “Distinction” in my dipABRSM piano examination, as well as “Merit” in my ABRSM cello examination. I believe that I would be able to work with aspiring pianists and cellists in a wide range of age groups and help them explore music in a fun way.

Whatever your aspirations at the piano, I can show you how to reach them! I specialise in accompanying classical singers and recently graduated from the National Opera Studio in London. As a freelance accompanist I work with organistations such as Opera North and The Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra. I started learning the piano aged 7 after being inspired by the 'magic box' in the corner that my mum played. I went on to study at Oxford and Yale universities and the Royal Northern College of Music and have performed in many exciting venues across the UK including the Brighton Dome, Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall Manchester, Cadogan Hall, Wales Millennium Centre and Symphony Hall Birmingham. I hold associate and licentiate diplomas in piano performance and have taught privately for 14 years as well as in Schools across South London. Although I take a strictly optional approach to exams, I have knowledge of the ABRSM syllabus and my students have received merit and distinction awards in ABRSM exams. I teach my students to understand three key areas of great piano playing: technique, understanding the score and expression. Technically I will introduce you to a Russian tradition of piano playing to develop strong fingertips supported by the wrist and arm for fluency and beauty. From beginner to advanced levels I will teach you how to understand how the 'recipe' in music is put together to you can feel confident that you understand deeply what to play. Throughout everything I will focus on expression, the stories and emotions in the music that make it so thrilling. In a typical lesson you can expect to look at some physical 'workouts' to develop your technique before working on your favourite pieces of music to understand how its put together and how to find expression. My philosophy is to use the lesson to teach how to practice on your own during the week so you can really own what you're doing. I believe in being kind, patient and supportive, giving you the keys to unlock your own musicality. Whatever your age and ability, please feel free to get in touch if you want to take your technique, score reading and expression to a higher level!
Hi, my name is Robert! I am a conductor, singer, composer and teacher based in London. I started learning piano when I was 3 years old and studied at Junior Guildhall until the age of 8. I then sang as a chorister in the choir of New College, Oxford, where I also began to play the cello. During my teens, I reached grade 8 at the piano and cello, and achieved a Diploma in singing performance. At the University of Manchester, I began to study conducting, eventually directing the University chamber choir, Ad Solem, before graduating with first class honours. During this time I also sang in the Genesis Sixteen choral program, which offered intensive training for elite young choral singers led by The Sixteen. I have been teaching singing, piano, cello and conducting privately ever since graduating, as well as directing several choirs and ensembles. I work frequently for the National Youth Choirs, London Youth Choirs, and Nottingham Youth Orchestra, and am currently employed as a teacher in the Royal College of Music Junior Department. I can offer singing and conducting tuition at all standards, and piano and cello up to grade 6.

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.
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.
Styles & goals your teacher can support
Choose a direction — lessons can be tailored around what you actually want to play.
Technique, interpretation, sight-reading, and repertoire from Baroque to contemporary classical traditions.
Harmony, voicings, comping patterns, lead sheets, improvisation practice, and repertoire building.
Song accompaniment, chordal arrangements, studio-friendly techniques, and performance-ready repertoire.
Structured technical work, piece selection, sight-reading practice, and mock exam coaching for ABRSM, Trinity and other boards.
