About

I believe that studying piano is a matter of motivation.

I have created and published all of my own tuition materials so that I can provide for students needs at the speed they want to learn, rather than using a single ‘how-to’ course.

I teach mostly by Skype at the moment for lockdown reasons but will go back to teaching face to face and in local schools when Coronavirus limitations are relaxed.

teach piano from beginners to advanced, 5-75 years.

I also teach GCSE composition.

I have 40+ years of experience in performance and 14 years of experience in music tuition.

Nigel is teaching my young granddaughter. She loves the lessons and is doing very well. Nigel has a relaxed and easy manner and encourages her to ask questions and checks her understanding.
