More About My Lessons

For beginner students I focus on note reading and finger coordination usually relying upon beginner methods such as Pauline Hall's Tunes for Ten Fingers. As students progress I tend to teach Grade examinations although this is not compulsory. I am familiar with all of the main exam boards (ABRSM, Trinity, LCM etc).

Students of mine have gone onto study at music conservatoires and take higher level diplomas above Grade 8. For intermediate students I have a wide range of repertoire that they can cover and a wide knowledge of examination procedure. I have a strong knowledge of the face to face syllabus as well as recorded examinations for all boards.

My students regularly score high marks with distinctions and merits with recent grade eight students going onto score some of the highest marks in the country with 97% marks for their examinations.
