Welcome to
Welcome, my name is Jonathan Draper. I am a professional piano teacher in Sheffield and would be delighted to teach you how to play the piano. Get in touch below to get started.
I will always make sure my lessons are as enjoyable for you as they are for me. Enjoying what you learn is the most important thing to see progress.
I also welcome advanced learners. If you have a specific piece of music or a specific technique you want to learn we will create a lesson plan that works best for your needs.

I have a host of experience in teaching all ages of student, however, It is best that young learners start no earlier than the age of 6.
Music is my passion so with that in mind, I am able to teach a wide range of genres from Jazz to pop to rock and everything in-between.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I'm able to teach both beginners and advanced students in a wide range of styles and genres. I will make a lesson plan that suits your needs as a player.
I am a highly qualified teacher having gained grade 8 distinction in Piano, Cello & Music theory. I also have an A level in music as well as over 5 years experience in teaching.
My classical background led me to attend Trinity College of Music in London. Since leaving music college, my teaching and performing have grown to encompass classical music, jazz, folk, blues and pop.
I have taught the cello at Birkdale School and Ashdell School. I now maintain a private teaching practice from my home in Crosspool, Sheffield S10, teaching piano, cello and music theory, as well as teaching piano for Tunedin Music School in Rotherham. I teach the ABRSM exam syllabus to grade 8 on both instruments, and I also encourage improvisation as part of my lesson plan.
My approach to teaching is very simple. That is to teach my students based on their own musical preferences, making my lessons fun and engaging for my students.
Beginner students are more than welcome to take lessons, I have a lot of experience in helping beginners progress to more advanced players.
More experienced players are also welcome to take lessons with me as I have plenty of experience in helping experienced players tighten up their technique and achieve more difficult goals.
There are many great options when it comes to music shops in Sheffield. Here are a few that I would recommend checking out.
Rich Tone Music. Although this place mostly caters to guitarists you can still find a small selection of other instruments. It is located on Broadfield Rd, S8 0XL.
Music Junkee, located on Earl Street, S1 3FP. This place also has a great selection of used instruments. I really recommend this place for all musicians.
The Music Box, on Meadowhall Way, S9 1EP is the place I would recommend if you are looking to print or buy sheet music. They have a huge range of sheet music suited to a wide range of stlyes and msuic tastes.
I'm an experienced piano teacher offering high quality lessons for students of all ages in the Sheffield area. I will make a tailored lesson plan that suits your needs as a learner and music lover. For more information, feel free to send me an email at any time.

Most of my lessons take place at my home teaching space on Watt Lane (S10 5RB).
