Personal Description:

Offering lessons in person or online, I have been performing professionally for 32 years and teaching for 24 years.
I was initially taught piano by my grandfather, the renowned concert pianist and head of piano at RSAMD, Jack Wight . I then completed my studies under Ms Anna Rastopchina. I currently play in an 8-piece function band as well as a jazz ensemble. I am also the musical director for shows held in the Clyde Auditorium and the Dumbarton theatre every spring.

Tutoring Experience:

I teach piano & keyboard to all ages and stages. Roughly half my students study for the ABRSM piano grades, and so far my pupils have a 100% pass rate. My other students play for enjoyment, learning various styles and technique. I also prepare students for the school curriculum Nat 4/5, Higher Music and Advanced Higher Music.

Tutoring Approach:

I teach classical piano, jazz, pop, blues and music theory. I tailor all lessons to the individual needs and aspirations of the student, employing various teaching styles. I also teach some pupils to play by ear, as well as improvisational skills, if requested. I prefer to teach from my own house, where I have a beautiful Yamaha U3 piano, as well as a Nord digital 88 piano, Roland Juno DS keybpoard/synthesizer, vintage Hammond organ and Leslie speaker and recording equipment.
Lessons are generally an hour long, except for young students, where I would recommend a shorter lesson of 45 or 30 minutes.

Due to the current climate, I am offering online lessons via Skype or Zoom which is suitable for many of my students.

I offer a free introductory lesson/consultation to all new students.
