Donna

Hello, I am Donna, and I am excited to offer you online piano lessons, a more convenient way to learn piano.

As an Independent Society of Musicians (ISM) registered private piano teacher, I specialise in absolute beginners, grades 1, 2, and 3 levels. I teach students from 9 to 90.

I also have a DBS Check Enhanced Certificate.

You can expect to learn the music you love during fun and creative lessons that are tailored to your needs and pace. Lessons with me are about you: Why do you want to learn music? What do you want to learn?

Tutoring Experience

2.5 years teaching adults and children beginner levels. My training includes years of private lessons, various piano teaching courses that keep me well versed in current teaching trends, as well as my experience as a piano teacher both online and offline.

I covered for my teacher, helping her eight year old student finish preparing for her Grade 1 ABRSM exam. With my help, she improved her skills in sight-reading, scales, aural, and pieces, which resulted in her receiving an impressive grade.

I currently teach adult beginner level.

Tutoring Approach

Step by step we focus on the basics to create a strong foundation, while always leaving room to bring in something that you want to learn. Lessons are tailored to you. Learn at your own pace. Learn various kinds of music including classical, pop, rock, hymns and others.

You learn in a holistic manner to help you make connections and grow in your musicianship.

You will have the opportunity to learn how to play by ear, improvise, how to use chords and sing, how to read music, sight-reading, how to create your own music.

It’s about you, discovering what you can do when you explore possibilities at the piano. My teaching methods free you up to focus on your new found abilities; you keep building confidence and ability from there.

With me, you learn in a psychologically safe space; it is OK to make mistakes; in fact, sometimes we are glad for them. They are an invaluable part of the creative, learning process.

I love working with students learning for fun, as well as those who want to prepare for exams.

Many people have told me that they wish they had taken piano lessons. Guess what, it isn’t too late. I am accepting students now. Interested in piano lessons or know someone who is? Message me to set up a free consultation to see how I may help you.
