I completed my degree in Harp Performance at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester in 2011. Since then, I have been teaching the harp and the piano both privately and in schools. Following my studies at the Royal Northern College of Music, I accepted the post of Practice Supervisor at Chetham’s School of Music, helping to support the young musicians with their practice and meeting their musical goals for that week. Before moving to York, I was also a Harp Teacher at Chetham’s, as well as Yorkshire Young Musicians in Leeds.

Learn To Make Music Theory Enjoyable
As an experienced teacher, I truly believe that a solid understanding of music theory is essential for anyone looking to enhance their piano skills. In my piano lessons in York, I make it a point to integrate music theory into our sessions, showing my students how it relates directly to the music they want to play.
Understanding concepts like scales, chords, and song structure can significantly improve your ability to interpret and perform pieces, whether you're a beginner or someone preparing for a performance.
How Music Theory Enhances Your Playing
When students learn music theory, they develop a deeper insight into the music they are playing on their piano or keyboard. By grasping the fundamentals, they can make more informed choices about phrasing, dynamics, and expression.
This knowledge not only helps in playing specific pieces but also empowers them to improvise and compose their own music.
Whether you're focusing on classical grades or exploring contemporary genres, the principles of music theory serve as a foundation upon which all musicians can build their skills. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where learning about theory is engaging and enjoyable, ensuring that every student can make the most of their piano tuition.
Supporting Every Age and Skill Level
No matter your age or experience, incorporating music theory into your piano lessons can elevate your musicianship. In my lessons, I tailor the music theory concepts to fit each student’s needs and interests, ensuring that it complements their individual goals.
Beginners often find that learning theory alongside practical skills simplifies the process of starting their musical journey. With my guidance as your piano tutor, we will explore these essential concepts in a way that feels natural and fun.
Whether you aspire to pursue a career in music or simply want to enjoy learning the piano, understanding music theory will enhance your overall experience and performance in York!
