Welcome to
Hi! I'm Jennifer Ferris, a professional piano teacher based in Norwich. I offer high quality lessons to students of all ages and playing abilities in a wide range of styles and genres. I will always make sure that your lessons are of the highest quality and are also enjoyable for all.
My passion of playing the piano began at the age of five in Zimbabwe where I am originally from. I believe music is one of the world's greatest gifts and I keen to share my knowledge and experience with others, regardless of age or ability.
I became a music teacher in Zimbabwe at the Peterhouse Group of Schools and achieved a Bachelor of Music at Rhodes Univeristy (2017) before then moving to the UK in 2018 where I obtained a Qualified Teacher Status as a music teacher.

It is my mission and desire to ensure music is accessible to all, regardless of age, ability or background. Music is a profound form of expression of self and I believe it is important to be able to do so. I sincerely enjoy educating and guiding a beginner musician in taking their first steps to achieve their desired goals on their new musical adventure.
I will always ensure to tailor our lessons to suit you as an individual. I will hone in on your strengths as well as iron out any weaknesses. This is your personal musical journey, therefore I want every lesson to be engaging, useful and fun.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome students of all ages and playing abilities. I am equally experienced in teaching those who have never touched a piano before as well as those at a grade 8 level.
Body Positioning and Posture.
I began to teach piano in my last year of high school as help was needed then and at university (Rhodes University, South Africa), I had several students ranging from age 4 to 15 at different levels of skill (from beginner to intermediate). I also taught a music and movement class at a Montessori school for 4 to 6 year-olds.
I then became a music teacher at the Peterhouse Group of Schools in Zimbabwe where I taught class music to 13-14 year-olds, conducted and accompanied orchestra, strings, wind band and various choirs, taught music theory and piano lessons.
In 2018 I moved to the UK and obtained Qualified Teacher’s Status as a Music Teacher. Music has always been a part of my life; I love to sing (I have had the privilege of singing in many choirs), I learnt the violin, the oboe, recorder and two beautiful African instruments; the marimbas and mbira (thumb piano).
Learn both classical and popular piano.
Growing up and teaching in Zimbabwe has cultivated a unique experience for myself and allows me to engage with and respect people from all walks of life. It is important to have music in your life in whatever capacity suits you. My greatest joy is to share my love of music and educate those who desire it.
My own musical experience allows me to teach all genres and styles of music. You may be interested in learning both Chopin's Etudes as well as Elton John's unique popular piano sound. Whatever your interests may be, I am here to guide you through your musical journey.
I always ensure to make each lesson both informative and fun. I want you as the student to feel relaxed and comfortable whilst absorbing the musical information I provide you with.
