I am pianist with Grade 8 (distinction) and hold an MA in Music, Technology and Innovation and a BA (Hons) in the same subject.

I have an enhanced CRB check and I am also a member of the Musicians Union and have public liability insurance.

I have several years experience in teaching both children and adult beginners and intermediate students. I teach both ABRSM and Trinity/Guildhall exams for those pupils wishing to take this route. 

I tailors lessons to individual needs, so whether you, or your child wishes to learn classical, contemporary or jazz piano, or to explore music technology through using a keyboard or even just a computer and mouse, I can help.

During lessons I encourage students to learn to play tunes of their choice, whilst also following a structured programme, in order that they can integrate music theory, improvisation and composition with their practice and develop correct playing techniques.

Having researched and composed experimental music and also being a singer/songwriter and active performer of contemporary folk music, I encourage students to be creative with their own musical ideas and compositions and to keep an open mind on the myriad approaches to musical expression.
