Welcome to
Hello! I'm Glen Leach, a professional piano teacher based in Leeds. I offer high-quality piano lessons to students of all ages and abilities.
I pride myself on offering enjoyable and informative piano lessons that you can both enjoy and learn a lot from. I think that enjoying what you learn is the key to improving.
I will make a lesson plan that suits your needs as a player and as a learner & we will make sure to stick to that plan until we get to where you want.

I can cover all styles of music in our lessons. I have had experience playing and teaching anything from Pop, Classical, Rock or even Jazz music.
I offer flexible teaching hours, lesson times and payment options. Meaning you can take lessons as and when it suits you.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and advanced learners in a wide range of styles. My lessons are always built around you.
I am a professional piano player and improviser working and gigging in Leeds and across the UK. All my knowledge that I have picked up from studying, gigging and rehearsing I wish to pass on to you.
My musical journey started when I was a teenager, I joined a songwriting development group in Bromley (Kent) where I grew up. There, I was exposed to so much music from our mentors, I already had quite a specific taste at this point (I loved Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, Prince, D’Angelo etc) but my taste widened over the years of exposure to different musical concepts, styles and genre.
This eventually lead me to study Jazz at Leeds Conservatoire, where I had Matthew Bourne as a teacher – which lead me to an even wider scope of music, especially improvised music and Free Jazz. I first saw an improvised trio called ‘The Thing’ in my first year, and it changed how I saw music. The energy they created on stage was electric. After seeing that, I decided to dedicate my life to not only improvised music but also having as much passion for music, whatever genre and style, that those three people on that stage had.
My lessons are based around the individual student. This student-focused approach means you can progress rapidly whilst learning the music you love in a relaxed enjoyable environment.
I use my passion for music to inspire my students. I was once a student myself, this means I understand the struggles of learning. I have designed my own unique teaching style which has realised the musical dreams of many of my students.
I am a very patient, understanding and friendly teacher. I always make sure my students are having fun and playing the music they love whilst learning to play the piano with excellent technique..
Leeds has a wide range of music shops available to cater to all of the musicians in the area. Here are a few I would recommend
Dawsons, based at 113 Vicar Lane, Leeds, LS1 6PJ, fantastic selection of Roland, Yamaha and Kawai digital pianos. Ideal for beginner to advanced pianists.
Red Dog Music, is well worth checking out for quality keyboards, digital pianos and synthesisers. The shop can be found at 85 Roseville Road, Leeds, LS8 5DT and boasts great customer support.
Hobgoblin, located at 13 Eastgate, Leeds, LS2 7LY, has a good range of sheet music and songbooks for pianists.
I'm an experienced piano player and teacher who can help you rapidly improve your playing in a wide range of ways. Together we will improve everything from playing style to musical understanding as well as learning all of the songs you love. If you'd like to know more info then please send me an email.
[email protected]My lessons are charged at £17 per half hour and £30 per hour.
I teach most of my lessons from a specialised studio room located in the LS9 7EA area.
I teach piano to students of all ages but I do recommend that you start no younger than age 5.
Weekly lessons are recommended for the best results however, some students enjoy taking fortnightly lessons as well.
If you cancel a lesson with less than 48 hours notice you will be charged full price for it. Please inform me in advance if there is a change you would like to make to your lesson time/date.
