About Sharon

- What kind of experience do you have?

In addition to my personal career as concert pianist and chamber musician, I have taught more than a hundred pupils (from beginners to professionals, including piano teachers) for more than 14 years, teaching them at distinguished public schools in London and in Hampshire, and also privately. They have all successfully performed at ABRSM exams, concerts, scholarships and auditions. Being an active performer as well as a teacher allows me to demonstrate accurately on the piano and inspire my pupils to a high level of piano playing.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes, I do. Since I teach at a renowned independent public schools, my enhanced CRB certificate is checked/renewed regularly.

- Where and with whom did you train?

Since coming to London in 1999, I have had the privilege to work extensively with Andrew Ball, Irina Zaritskaya and Yonty Solomon, himself a pupil of Dame Myra Hess. I have also received many prestigious masterclasses and lessons in Belgium, England, Germany, Spain, in the U.S.A. and in Israel, playing for eminent artists such as Galina Egyazarova, John O'Conor, Pavel Gililov, Bernard Roberts, Joseph Banowetz, Oxana Yablonskaja, Emanuel Ax, Paul Badura-Skoda, and Murray Perahia.

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

I am a highly qualified and experienced piano teacher, regularly performing as a solo pianist and chamber musician in the UK and abroad. Based in Weybridge, Surrey, I am keen to help dedicated pupils of all age and abilities.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

I mainly concentrate on piano tuition at an advanced level, but include musicianship and aural/theory training as part of, or in addition to my lessons where appropriate (e.g. when exams are taken)

- Tell me about your qualifications.

I have earned a Masters in Advanced Performance (MMus), with Distinction, at the Royal College of Music, London, in 2005. I also hold a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) and a Bachelor of Music, BMus (Hons), from the same institution.

- How much do you charge?

I charge £55 per hour at my studio. Younger pupils usually have 30- or 45-minute lessons (£30 or £40 respectively).

- Where do you teach?

At home, in a dedicated soundproof studio with two excellent acoustic pianos. My busy schedule doesn't allow me to travel my pupil's homes anymore.

- When are you available?

Monday to Saturday

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

Although I particularly like teaching advanced pupils (grade 6 or above), I will be happy to take on new talented and serious pupils at any age/level.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I prepare my students for concerts, competitions, exams/auditions, music scholarships, specialist music schools, and ABRSM exams.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

Online tutoring is available via FaceTime, Skype and Zoom, and lessons are as efficient as in person.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

I am really very patient and give a chance to everyone. My principal aim is to guide my pupils towards independent learning and a detailed understanding of piano/music. I place great emphasis on learning how to practise properly, which is so vital to constant progress/motivation, but which is surprisingly so often neglected by other music teachers. Being an active performer as well as a teacher allows me to demonstrate accurately on the piano and inspire my pupils to a high level of piano playing. I want to give the best possible basis to my pupils so that they can mature both musically and technically.
