About

About

I have proven track records of success in exams, competitions and performance. Currently on the list an International Music Exam Board. DBS clearance. Highly qualified with caring and sense of humour, regular, responsible and professional for the past 25 years of piano teaching.

Proofs of the above might be shown when we first meet upon request. Personally, I prefer f2f lesson than online but would also be flexible so that a mixed mode of learning becomes possible.

We are in KT17 and our home studio accommodates good grand piano so does our converted garage.

Two of my students also passed with Grade 8 high distinction and merit respectively early this year at the age of 8. Further 10 students obtained their grade 8 in 2021 ranging from 11-18

But we could also play for leisure. It is all about communication. Please let me know what level/grade s/he is doing.

Music Qualifications & Achievements:

Top notch diplomas with record-breaking high marks. Annual Solo Concerts for myself and students.

Let’s setup some goals for short / long term. Your success as simple as a short performance is my enjoyment.
