(3 reviews)

Personal Description:

I am an experienced teacher and musician based in South Birmingham. I graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in 2015 with a first class BMus (Hons) degree.

Tutoring Experience:

I have 10 years of teaching experience and have worked with adults and children of all ages and abilities. As well as teaching privately I have taught at the Birmingham Music School, the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and Broadway Academy.

Tutoring Approach:

I’m flexible in my approach to teaching, as I know everyone has different needs, interests and goals. I aim to find the best way to help my students achieve success and enjoy learning music.

My teaching experience and approach ranges from:

Very young children of 3-5 years old
I introduce all the basic techniques and concepts of the piano through musical games, coloured stickers to help them play tunes, singing, clapping and beginning to learn notation by drawing on whiteboards.

Primary ages children
I strive to make learning the piano fun and hope to kindle a lifelong hobby or passion in the children I teach. I help discover and nurture their particular talents and strengths as well as giving them a rounded introduction to all aspect of music making.

Secondary age children/young people
I’m happy to take on complete beginners or anyone with prior experience. Teenagers can often make very fast progress when learning the piano, so it’s never too late to start. I can work with whatever suits the student, whether that’s working towards exams or just a pleasant hobby to help forget some school stress.

Adult learners
I can be very flexible with whatever or however you’d like to learn. Feel free to get in touch for a chat to see if this is right for you.

Exam preparation
My students have a 100% pass rate, with many achieving a merit or distinction. I can help students thoroughly prepare for all aspects of exams, including prepared pieces, sight-reading, aural questions and scales. I incorporate all of these aspects into lessons from the beginning so that no element catches students out. I also teach music theory and have entered many students for their grade 5 theory exams.
