Learn Music Your Way, with Me!

Music is meant to be fun, and my lessons are all about YOU! Whether you're just starting out or already have some experience, I’ll design sessions that make learning enjoyable while helping you discover your unique musical potential.

Your Goals, Your Pace, Your Music

I teach both ABRSM and Trinity theory and piano syllabi up to Grade 5 (beginner to intermediate). Want something more personalized? No problem! We don't have to use the ABRSM or Trinity syllabi. We’ll create a custom learning plan that suits your style and goals. Whether you want to ace exams or just play for the love of it, I'm here to guide you.

Our first lesson is free of charge to help you decide whether I am the teacher for you.

Why Learn with Me?

- Experienced & Passionate: With 20+ years of piano experience, a solid classical background, and a love for technique, I offer you the best of both worlds – formal or fun, structured or spontaneous.

- Patient & Person-Focused: I’m empathetic, encouraging, and tailor my teaching to bring out the best in YOU.

- Flexible Learning: Based in West London? I offer in-person lessons. Prefer online? My high-quality video conferencing setup brings the classroom to you – wherever you are!

Master Piano & Theory – Your Way

Looking for a formal, technique-oriented approach? Or maybe something more laid-back and exploratory? We can mix it up and find the perfect blend for you. I’ll offer guidance, but you call the shots!

Music Theory for All

Guess what? Music theory doesn’t have to be boring! I'm a music theory nerd, and I’ll show you how fun and practical it can be. Whether you're a songwriter or just want to deepen your understanding of music, theory helps unlock a new level of creativity. Plus, I always tie theory back to real-world applications, so you'll feel the impact immediately.

Music Theory for Songwriters

As a songwriter myself, I’ve seen firsthand how learning music theory can take your songs from good to great. Even mastering the basics of keys, chord progressions, and melody development can work wonders. Whether you’re just starting or already writing, understanding the theory behind your music gives you the tools to craft richer, more professional-sounding songs.

Imagine knowing how to build tension with a chord progression or create that perfect melodic hook! With the right foundation, you can break free from creative ruts and take your songwriting to the next level.

And hey, if you love using technology, so do I! We can incorporate apps and digital tools to make learning even more interactive and fun.
