I’m Kwabla Amenyah, a pianist, music teacher, and curriculum designer dedicated to helping learners of all ages discover the joy of music. My lessons focus on piano performance, music theory, and exam preparation for ABRSM and Cambridge, while also welcoming those who simply want to explore music for personal enjoyment. I use clear explanations, practical exercises, and easy‑to‑follow resources to make complex ideas simple and engaging. Over the years, I’ve guided beginners, advanced students, and diploma candidates, always tailoring lessons to individual goals. I also design educational materials that explain theory in straightforward language, ensuring students feel confident rather than overwhelmed. In class, I combine practice with understanding, so learners not only play but also grasp the structure behind the music. Technology plays a big role in my teaching—I use modern tools to speed up progress, reinforce mastery, and make lessons interactive. At the same time, I place strong emphasis on building a solid foundation that supports growth far beyond expectations. Outside teaching, I continue to create curricula, publish resources, and explore new ways to make music education inspiring and effective. I aim to help every student develop lasting skills, confidence, and a deep love for music.

I’m a professional violinist and experienced teacher with a background in both performance and education. My approach to teaching is structured, clear, and adaptable, helping each student build strong foundations and real confidence in their playing. I currently work at Chetham’s School of Music and Trafford Music Service, and I previously taught at Junior Birmingham Conservatoire. Through these roles, I’ve worked with students from beginner to advanced levels, including those preparing for exams, auditions, and professional pathways. These experiences have shaped a teaching style that balances technical precision with musical understanding and encourages students to think independently as musicians. My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs — focusing on tone, technique, and interpretation, while maintaining a positive and focused learning environment. I use a mix of structured technical work and engaging repertoire to ensure consistent, measurable progress. Alongside teaching, I maintain an active international performing career. I’ve performed worldwide as a soloist and with orchestras, ensembles, and commercial showbands, collaborating with DJs and luxury event productions across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. These experiences bring a practical and versatile perspective to my teaching, connecting classical training with the demands of modern performance.
