Welcome to
Hello! My name is Alan Tang and I am a professional piano teacher based in Leicester. My piano lessons are always enjoyable and I cater to a wide range of students in the area. I like to make sure my lessons are easy to understand for all and that you can learn towards the music that you enjoy and are familiar with. My lessons will always be fun and interesting for students of all ages.
I pride myself on making sure all of my lessons are of a high standard. I will always keep it this way. I'm always down to earth and available to answer any questions that you might have regarding learning to play the piano. I've taught students of all levels before and I would be delighted to help you on your playing journey.
I offer the opportunity to take graded exams if this is something that you would like to pursue. Keep in mind this is not essential. I have many students who also learn for fun or have a particular technique that they want to learn. It really depends on the student and this is why my lessons are always very student driven.

I have experience in teaching all ages groups and all levels of player. I would recommend starting no younger than 6 years old. I can help you gain confidence in your ability and in your self as well. My lessons are easy to follow and contain all the info you need to become a confident player.
I love a wide range of music & will teach you the music that you love. Let me know what genres inspire you and I will build a lesson plan around these styles. If you aren't sure, then I'd be more than happy to help guide you through different genres until you find something that you enjoy playing and listening to.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginner and advanced students in a wide range of genres and styles. I will make a lesson plan built around the music you love.

I have been playing the piano since I was very young having achieved Grade 8 when I was 18. I continue to play with bands around the East Midlands and have plenty of experience gigging and writing. I also have an excellent working knowledge of Music technology using industry standard music programs including Sibelius, Logic Pro and Cubase.
I have decided to return to 1-2-1 tuition as I feel this is an opportunity to work with individuals who are passionate about improving in their specific instrument. As an experienced classroom practitioner of over 12 years, I have worked with students from as young as Year 3 (6/7 years old) to adults. In the classroom I have achieved Outstanding / Excellent in my observations and my teaching is considered ‘innovative’ and ‘fun’ and I set ‘high aspirations’ for all individuals in the classroom.
I believe strongly that learning a musical instrument gives you the time to relax yet develop discipline, creativity and an individual sense of self-worth. My mantra when I approach teaching is very much holistic and that it is about the individual and what they want to achieve in their lessons.
My lessons are always enjoyable for all ages
Students make the decision to learn what they want, shaping the course of lessons that I teach to them. I am comfortable with preparing for instrumental exams or just learning for fun. I can teach classical and popular styles but I also encourage all students to improvise which in turn may lead to writing their own music.
My teaching style is tailored around the needs of the student but has a clear structure in what needs to be achieved. I will introduce a variety of techniques, effective playing/ practice routines that not only focus on improving your playing but also offers effective time management in your busy life. I also try to incorporate music theory wherever it is relevant in terms of what an individual needs to know to improve their playing.
I am flexible in terms of travelling or teaching at a private piano studio in Leicester as I realise that a student must feel comfortable at their instrument.
