Enjoyment and performance is my main focus as a tutor having trained in Musical Theatre at the London Studio Centre, University of the Arts London. I have been privileged to have worked as a performer with Disney Cruise Line; Royal Caribbean Cruise Line; UK national and international tours; the London Philharmonic and BBC Proms. For the last seven years, I’ve loved putting my knowledge into teaching piano and vocals to students of all ages. Former students have successfully passed Grade 1 - 8 ABRSM Piano, Grade 1 - 8 ABRSM Singing and successfully auditioned for Matilda (West End); School of Rock (West End) Sylvia Young Theatre School; National Youth Musical Theatre; BRIT School; Bird College. Alongside my teaching, I worked as a music editor for Faber Music Publishing, editing works such as the official Harry Potter Piano Anthology and educational books by composers including Paul Harris, Pam Wedgewood and Elaine Gould. I then became Head of Education at the national theatre school, “Perform”. I look forward to transferring back to teaching full time and focusing on those local to my new area in West Berkshire and Reading as I raise my own family. See you soon.
I have been working as a full-time opera singer in Germany for the past two years. Prior this, I graduated with Distinction in my Masters degree in Voice from the Royal College of Music. I have been singing professionally for over 10 years. Before training at the Royal College of Music, I gained a First Class Honours Degree from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. I have had the privilege of singing all over the country in various venues such as Wembley Arena, The Royal Albert Hall, St David’s Hall and Her Majesty’s Theatre in the West End. As a result of my professional performance experience, I teach with enthusiasm and a sense of openness. I have developed a flexible teaching technique which I adapt to each particular student. I am friendly and patient whilst also being clear and concise. In our lessons I believe it is essential for you to feel at ease, and therefore my main goal is always to create a safe and free environment to discover and try new things! Perhaps you sing or play as a hobby, or maybe you would like to take serious steps towards training as a professional performer. My knowledge of singing and piano provides advanced tuition to all of my students, whatever level or genre you may be at or would like to start working at- each one of my students have different goals and intentions that we are working towards together. I can help you to proceed through singing/instrumental grades, also teaching the aural aspects, but I am also as happy to teach those who would prefer to sing/play for fun without taking grades. I take great pleasure from my teaching and I work with a variety of ages and abilities. Please do get in touch if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you!

Piano lessons: what to expect

Who piano lessons are for
Piano suits learners of all ages — children, teens, adults and returning players. Lessons can be tailored to beginners, hobbyists, exam candidates, and aspiring performers.
What you’ll learn in piano lessons
Lessons focus on technique, rhythm, reading, ear training, and musical expression. Teachers create progressive plans so you consistently improve week-to-week.
Online vs in-person piano lessons
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.
Styles & goals your teacher can support
Choose a direction — lessons can be tailored around what you actually want to play.

Structured technical work, piece selection, sight-reading practice, and mock exam coaching for ABRSM, Trinity and other boards.
