Information About Gabrielle - Inverurie teacher -

(2 reviews)

Personal Description:

Currently, all my teaching is done on Skype/Zoom and beginners are sent a welcome pack by email. For child beginners, I am offering 'parent & child' zoom lessons. The virtual lessons are only charged at £11 per half and hour.

My name is Gabby. I hold the 'DipAbrsm' in piano performance.(A qualification issued by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.)

I studied piano in my music degree at Keele university (and Osnabrück), where I gained an honours degree. I sometimes perform publicly as a pianist for special occasions.

(I also hold the ARSM performance diploma with merit and grade 8 since I was very young.)

Tutoring Experience:

I live in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire. Currently, I can be very flexible about lesson times / days. I have been teaching the piano for some years. I have taught children as young as 3, for whom I have a toddler musical introduction program. I teach all ages of children and teenagers, as well as adults of different ages and as old as 90. I teach half hour lessons for £15, or a full hour for £30. Within this price, students receive piano worksheets to take home. Young children should begin with half an hour. People studying grades are required to book 45 minute or 1 hour lessons.

I have my own methods for delivering teaching and I use a lot of handouts and compositions of my own, alongside tried and trusted methods. My students gain excellent exam grades and quickly develop a fervour for music and an excellent technique.

Tutoring Approach:

I view the piano as being something for everybody who wants to learn. Some of my students have extra requirements such as autism, arthritis, ADHD, visual impairment and others. Everybody I have taught has made great progress and I have a 100% exam success rate. I believe this is partly because I encourage people and I allow no barriers to be put in anybody's way. I centre my teaching around the person, which I believe is key. Most importantly, I offer people a lot of choice about what pieces / styles to play in and I always listen to my students, both the children and the adults.
