Private Piano Lessons Tailored to You
Comprehensive Skill Development
Reading Music
One of the foundations of learning to play the piano is the ability to read music. As an experienced piano teacher, I prioritise teaching my students how to read sheet music accurately. Understanding musical notation allows students to play a wide variety of pieces and enhances their ability to learn new music independently. My tailored lessons ensure that students of all ages and abilities can comfortably decode and interpret sheet music, making this journey both fun and educational.
Understanding Song Structure
Analysing and understanding song structure is vital for any musician. In my private piano lessons, I delve into various forms of music, helping students to comprehend the architecture of different genres and compositions. This knowledge equips students to perform pieces with greater expression and provides a solid basis for those interested in composing original scores or understanding complex arrangements in an orchestra.
Playing Chords
Chords are the building blocks of much contemporary music, and mastering them is essential for piano performance. My music lessons focus on teaching students how to play and recognise different chords. Whether you are learning to play classical compositions or modern pop songs, understanding chord progressions will greatly enhance your ability to play the piano with confidence.
Right and Left Hand Technique and Synchronisation
Effective synchronisation of the right and left hands is critical for playing the piano proficiently. I focus on exercises that improve hand coordination and ensure that my students develop the dexterity needed for more complex pieces. From beginner scales to advanced compositions, my piano lesson plans are designed to improve hand technique progressively.
Practice Techniques
Effective practice is key to becoming a skilled pianist. As your piano tutor, I teach various practice methods tailored to your individual learning style. These techniques help students to make the most of their practice sessions, ensuring steady improvement in their piano skills. Techniques include segmental practice, slow practice, and the use of metronomes to build timing accuracy.
By focusing on these comprehensive areas, my lessons ensure that students receive a well-rounded music education. Joining my lessons in Oxford means that you will benefit from an experienced teacher dedicated to helping you play the piano with confidence and joy. Whether you are starting as a beginner or looking to refine your abilities, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

This ensures that students can progressively master challenging skills, such as advanced finger placements, dynamic control, and expressive articulation. Through weekly lessons, we will work on these techniques, building a strong foundation that allows for continuous improvement.
Comprehending Composition
Learning music theory is an integral part of my piano lessons which is something that all piano tutors will well you, helping students to not only play but also understand the music they are performing.
