About Richard
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have private teaching experience with all abilities and ages, and teach piano to undergraduates at City University, London. I was previously Musical Director of 'The Academy', a musical-theatre project for youth that runs in South Cambridgeshire during school holidays, where I worked with children aged 8-16 of a range of abilities. As a performer I have given solo recitals in most of the major UK venues (including Royal Festival Hall, Purcell Room, Wigmore Hall), amongst many other venues. I am represented as a performer by the highly prestigious Young Classical Artists Trust. I have recorded two CDs, which both met with critical acclaim and are available through iTunes or Amazon. Please visit my website for more details.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes, I am CRB checked.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I currently study with Martin Roscoe, at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. Prior to this I studied at the Junior School of the Royal Northern College of Music, with Ian Buckle.

I am an experienced teacher who is passionate about getting students of all ages and abilities to progress and enjoy music.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach classical piano at all levels, from beginners to post-diploma. I am very happy to take students through ABRSM (or other board) examinations, in the practical and theory grades. I also enjoy teaching advanced students who play for pleasure.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
I graduated from Clare College, Cambridge University with a Double First in Music in 2008. I then went on to do a Master's in piano performance at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where I was awarded a Distinction and am now a Fellow.
- How much do you charge?
I charge £35 per hour - plus £5 if I have to travel - for piano or theory lessons. Including travel, my rates are: £40 for an hour; £35 for 45 minutes; £30 for 30 minutes. I offer discounts for longer lessons (which can be split between pupils in the same house) as follows: £55 for 90 minutes, £65 for two hours.
- Where do you teach?
I can teach from home or am happy to travel to most areas within Zones 1-3, subject to additional travel expenses where required.
- When are you available?
My schedule is currently very full, with concerts and teaching, but occasionally I am able to make room for particularly talented, enthusiastic or advanced pupils. I teach in the evenings and sometimes on a Saturday.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach all ages and levels.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I always tailor the lessons to suit the specific outcomes the student (or parent) have in mind. I can teach any of the exam boards up to Grade 8 and Diploma. Also very happy to teach post-diploma. Whilst exams can be great things to work towards (plus they count for UCAS points and look good on a CV etc.), my focus is on cultivating the pupil's love and understanding of music and piano playing.
