Piano
Learn to Play the Piano
Based in Hale Barns and backed by more than 30 years of experience, I provide effective piano lessons as a professional piano teacher, where I am qualified to instruct pupils at all levels. I can teach up to and including, diploma-level piano.
I am currently prioritising pupils who have reached at least an intermediate level.
Individual Lessons
My piano lessons take place on a one-to-one basis. This ensures you’ll get the most out of our time together. As a responsible, reputable tutor, I have been extensively checked via the Disclosure and Barring Service.
Tailored Tuition
By working closely with my students, I make sure the lessons they receive are truly tailored to their needs. I’ll focus on your strengths and weaknesses to eke the most out of each session. Mock examinations will help you to assess your readiness before the real thing. With my help, you’ll have everything you need before taking a graded music exam.
Exam Preparation
I teach both privately and within schools. My experience encompasses tutelage for pupils of all ages and skill-levels. As a proactive tutor, I enter pupils for examinations and encourage improvisation. The exams I enter pupils for include ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall, and Theory of Music. My pupils are often awarded prizes for achieving good results in their lessons and exams. One of my pupils won the EPTA Composers Competition with a jazz composition.
Arranging Performances
My pupils also participate in the EPTA concerts, which I help to organise. These take place at Chetham’s School of Music, where pupils have the advantage of being able to perform on a grand piano. I also organise informal concerts in various venues, including the Bowdon Rooms and Didsbury URC Church.
