Piano Lessons
I teach all levels from complete beginners to advanced piano students, including preparation for ABRSM and Trinity exams. My experience covers classical, contemporary, pop, rock and musical theatre styles.

Teaching style
My experience covers classical, contemporary, pop, rock and musical theatre styles.
In preparing my lessons I endeavour to make them as educational and fun as much as possible.
I’m patient with my students. Some people require more instructions while others understand with a simple sentence.
I’ll recommend titles that my students should purchase. To a beginner, all books look the same, just in different colours.
With younger students, I try to get the parents to help. Make a practice calendar for them and show their parents.
I would encourage my students to participate in student’s concerts, community events, festivals and I like to give challenges to the talented students by accompanying singers/ instrumentalists or to join an ensemble.
I have knowledge of examination board content and protocol and the ability to play the piano in a range of styles. Moreover, I am able to differentiate the teaching techniques required to suit each student's learning needs and level and to provide a variety of individual teaching styles.
I try to find interesting pieces for my students. There are many piano books in different genres for all different levels. If they enjoy the pieces, they'll want to practice more.
I teach my students the tricks and tips that helped me become a better pianist.
I try not to bore my students with talking, but get to know them and show "How to practice effectively." Show them tips for learning a piece quickly and have them show how they do their practicing.
As a professional music teacher, I know how to sequence and teach musical concepts and how to develop the technical ability and structure of the hands as they grow.
