About Suzanne
- What kind of experience do you have?
I began teaching piano at 14 and therefore have 30+ years of experience working with people to achieve their musical goals, whether that is in examinations or in learning for pleasure. I am happy working with students across a wide age range, from 5 years to those in their eighties and beyond! I have taught piano and theory in both state and public schools alongside private practice. In addition to working with those who wish to learn solely for the enjoyment and those who are very bright and musically gifted, I also have experience teaching students with additional needs such as autism, blindness, learning difficulty, and hearing impairment. I welcome students across the ability spectrum and am equally enthused by working with people who pick things up very quickly as those who require a more measured and versatile approach.

The exam board that I use most is the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM). I'm also happy to prepare students for Trinity Guildhall exams and other boards on request.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
I believe that the single most important thing that I can do each time we have a session is to meet you at the point you have reached musically at the start of that lesson. I want you to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible in order to create an environment in which you feel able to ask questions, try things out, make mistakes and then produce playing to the best of your ability. All lessons are tailored specifically for your current needs, strengths, and weaknesses in order to ensure that you make solid and rewarding progress and enjoy yourself too!
