About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
My pupils learn piano and violin to a very high level from ages four up to adult learners. My pupils have excellent technique which is something I expect from my pupils from a very young age. They learn all round music skills through a variety of games and activities which make each aspect of learning fast pace and fun whilst gaining each of the fundamental skills needed for playing the piano and violin. I have developed a style of teaching which can be adapted to the learner but I have extremely high expectations and expect all of my pupils to practice regularly and to achieve their full potential. I strongly encourage my pupils to perform in concerts at my home and in EPTA events, local festivals as I believe this helps pupils progress and build in confidence.
My pupils have achieved excellent results in their ABRSM exams. I also offer exams with Trinity, Rockschool, LCM and MTB exam
Boards. I can assist with all levels of ABRSM Music Theory and GCSE/A Level Music examinations. I can prepare pupils for entry into Universities and Music Colleges across the UK and with the audition process they would be required to take.
