I am a qualified teacher, holding a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) with QTS in primary education. Currently, I am working for the local music service as a specialist piano, keyboard and woodwind teacher, providing working one-to-one basis and with small, large and whole-class groups of children. I have completed my master’s in Musicology and am studying for a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) award in ludomusicology (video game music research).
Significant achievements and practice experience have marked my journey in music. In 2021, I was awarded a First-class BMus(Hons) degree in music from the University of Huddersfield. With over 17 years of experience in music, I teach Piano, Keyboard, Clarinet, conducting, Music reading and Music Theory. I also tutor Primary-level Maths, English, and Spanish. I have much classroom teaching experience in both KS1 and KS2 environments and A-levels in Music, Maths, and Spanish.
My university years were enriched by piano lessons with RNCM's Sally Ann Macleod. I have achieved ABRSM Grade 8 standard in piano and clarinet and ABRSM Grade 5 in music theory. In 2018, I was honoured with an organ scholarship from Salford Cathedral. More recently, I was awarded 100% funding to study for a PhD, specialising in how medieval identity is constructed in video game soundtracks. My life is a mixture of music teaching, researching and organ playing – which I love!
I hold an Enhanced DBS and offer the convenience of online tuition. Please note that in-person lessons are only available within a FIVE-mile radius of SK6 and may incur a travel fee. I encourage you to check my lesson availability before contacting me.

From beginners to advanced learners, I bring the joy of music into every lesson. Whether it's preparing for exams or simply enjoying the process, my lessons are always fun, relevant, and engaging.


I began teaching online during the COVID lockdown in 2020. Currently, I teach more online piano students than in-person – they prefer its flexibility and convenience. Also, younger children do so many clubs these days that an online lesson is easier to fit in! I have successfully taught all ages and abilities online, so please don’t worry about concentration attainment etc.

Cerys has taught my daughter piano from grade 1 to preparing for grade 8. Maia always looks forward to her lesson because Cerys is so knowledgeable and encouraging. Cerys is very accommodating so that Maia can fit in lessons around her education, in person or online. We couldn't recommend her enough!

Cerys is an exceptional piano teacher. My son has been taking lessons with her for the past two years, preparing for his Grade 3, 5, and 6 Trinity exams. Throughout this time, Cerys has demonstrated remarkable patience, kindness, and encouragement. Her teaching style has not only helped my son build his confidence but also great interest and love for music. We are very grateful for her dedication and support.
