About Me

Hello and thank you for visiting my website. Music has been a lifelong passion, I've been a piano teacher and performing musician for more than twenty years. I am happy to teach people of all ages and abilities. Each of my students follows a dynamic, individual learning plan designed to enable effective and enjoyable musical progress.

My goal is to equip students with the skills, knowledge and mindset to be independent musicians with a lasting interest in playing the piano. This is achieved by developing a range of skills in performance, sight-reading, aural-awareness, composition and improvisation. I use modern teaching methods and books in addition to my own materials, some of which are available as a free download on the resources page. I teach classical, popular and jazz piano music. Preparation for grade exams is available. I also give lessons in music theory and music technology.


I am DBS-checked, my certificate is viewable on request. Lessons are available either online via Zoom, or in your own home if you live in the Bedfordshire area. For beginner to intermediate level students, one 30 minute lesson each week is suitable. For advanced students a 60 minute lesson is recommended.


If you are interested in piano lessons, or theory or technology lessons, then please get in contact using the enquiries form.
