Currently I am doing video lessons, these have been working well to help students keep up their instruments during the COVID-19 pandemic, even young kids are managing really well!

Whatsapp/Skype/FaceTime so far have been working great.

I have been teaching piano, guitar & ukulele since graduating from my musicology degree in 2009, during which I was particularly interested in the study of music of different cultures. I also completed a Masters degree and PhD with a specialism in Music Psychology. I have been teaching instruments in schools and privately, especially piano, guitar & ukulele. I have also given lessons on mandolin and sometimes my piano students have tried out the harp with me too!

The main focus when I plan lessons is to help people enjoy the music they are playing by guiding their learning in a gradual way to minimise frustration!

Students can learn to play without doing exams but many like to work towards grades. I have used different boards including Trinity, LCM, Rockschool and ABRSM. In the last few years students have been taking grades in jazz piano with LCM and really enjoy the pieces.
