Good teaching starts with a good student-teacher relationship. I value genuine connections with people and am curious to discover everyone’s musical preferences and ambitions. This helps me to create engaging and relatable lesson content. My week is not complete unless I have made progress on a songwriting/composing project, practised various instruments and played with other people. My in-depth range of skills across the musicverse allows me to take a holistic approach to teaching without sacrificing attention to detail. Most recently I studied Scottish education and pedagogy at the University of Edinburgh with the aim to teach in high schools, however, I stepped away from it as I found it wasn’t the right path for me. All the things I’ve learned during the PGDE are coming with me to inform my teaching practice.

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.
