Personal Description: I have been teaching the piano since finishing my degree more than a year ago. I have worked as a rehearsal pianist with local theatre groups and compose for piano and other instruments as well as orchestral arrangements.

Tutoring Experience: I teach across a broad age and ability. I am still a new teacher with only just over a year to my experience but the first candidates I have entered for exams have proven to be very high results. I am registered with ABRSM and I am currently looking into the Trinity Guildhall curriculum for pupils that have taken previous exams and wish to continue the course.

Tutoring Approach: My teaching pedagogy is to bring as many aspects of piano and music theory to the lesson as possible. I encourage listening to recitals and reading a score as well as mental play.
My lessons are adapted to suit my pupils needs and learning pace as well as learning style. I am a relaxed teacher but I do expect my pupils to follow a practise routine during the week as set out during a lesson. I normally work on exam pieces and one further ongoing piece of music which I choose with the pupil that may include new material that may serve the purpose of stretching the pupil, or more importantly be just enjoyable to play.
