I was encouraged to study music from an early age and my love of the piano developed through studying with inspirational and dedicated pianists who were enthusiastic and ambitious about my potential. This enabled me to further my training and I now lead a busy and successful performing and teaching career. Being immersed in music and guided so diligently throughout my studies was a wonderful experience and one that I replicate in my teaching. Having struggled and strived at my profession I am able to offer unique coaching to my pupils. I know the pitfalls of learning the piano and also the enjoyment and sense of achievement that comes with music. I would love to teach pupils where I can oversee their long term development.

I am a young, committed, reliable and vibrant piano teacher with lots of energy and ideas to help tackle, learn and enjoy playing the piano. I love meeting people and building a rapport with my students so that they can achieve to the best of their abilities.
