Adam Heron

A funded PhD Candidate in Musicology at the University of Glasgow - and a recent graduate of both the Royal Academy of Music (BMus First Class Honours) as well as the University of Cambridge (MPhil) - my teaching style has been described as witty, sensitive and erudite.

Teaching Philosophy:

I endeavour to provide lessons that nurture an innate enthusiasm for music, technical mastery of the instrument, and a healthy sense of self confidence. I tailor all my lessons to the individual needs and aspirations of each and every student; actively listening to and learning from them, thus ensuring a consistently bilateral exchange of ideas.

Teaching Experience:

I qualified in pedagogy with the LRAM Diploma in Piano Teaching from London's Royal Academy of Music, and have since accumulated over seven years experience as a tutor. I have received invitations to give workshops and masterclasses across in the UK and overseas, most recently in India, The Cayman Islands, and Hong Kong. I coach students of all ages and abilities; from young children to working adults, and from the aspiring professional musician to the casual learner.
