Lessons take place at my home in Edgware.  I have a Yamaha Grand Piano which I use for teaching, so that students can learn on a quality instrument.  

Booking-In

New students attend a booking-in lesson, where I assess their current abilities at the keyboard and in the theory of music.  We also discuss learning objectives, such as attaining certain grades, enhancing musical appreciation or exploring the work of certain composers or musical genres.   

Beginner

Usually the beginner lessons are for younger students (but not always!) aiming for grades 1-3.  These lessons focus on coordination, timing, and understanding musical notation. 

Intermediate

At the intermediate level (grades 3-5) we progress to raising levels of music appreciation, whilst developing further fine motor skills to enhance performance dynamics. 

Advanced

I help students at grades 6-8 to excel because of my extensive qualifications and experience.  Lessons can enhance performance for GCSE and A-Level music students. Moreover, this level is often the opening to a new musical freedom, rather than the end of your journey.

Diploma

For Diploma level students it is more of a question of working together.  My role becomes that of a mentor and guide, helping students explore their own areas of interest, and challenging them with new perspectives to enhance their abilities.
