🎹 Teaching Piano the Right Way — Through Music You Love

​

Over my 20+ years of teaching experience, I’ve found one thing to be consistently true: students thrive when they’re learning music that excites them. That’s why I follow a student-centred teaching approach, where each lesson is shaped around the learner’s personality, goals, and musical taste.

When students connect emotionally to what they're playing, motivation becomes effortless — they want to sit at the piano, explore new sounds, and keep improving. It’s not about being told to practice — it’s about wanting to play.

​

🎵 Lessons That Are Built Around You

Whether you're into Mozart or Metallica, jazz or video game soundtracks, I design each lesson to suit your interests while building solid technical foundations along the way. Lessons include:

• Learning songs and pieces you enjoy

• Developing technique, rhythm, and musicality

• Creative work: improvisation, composition, and arranging

• Sight-reading and ear training

• Understanding how music works (music theory made fun!)

• Optional exam or performance preparation

Every student has their own path. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter methods — I believe in discovering what makes each student tick and building on it.

​

🎓 Optional Exam Preparation – From Beginners to Diploma Level

If you're interested in working through formal grades or pursuing a more structured route, I offer preparation for graded piano exams all the way up to diploma level (beyond Grade 8).

I work with a wide range of exam boards to make sure the syllabus fits your needs and style:

• ABRSM (classical & jazz)

• Trinity Classical

• Trinity Rock & Pop

• LCM (London College of Music)

• RSL (Rockschool)

• RSL Classical
