Teaching
My main goal as a teacher is to create a safe and supportive environment in which students can fall in love with music, and find their individual creative voices!
I started teaching piano in 2016 and in that time have had opportunities to work with students at a wide range of ages and ability levels. I can cover the following areas, and tailor learning programs to individual students' needs/interests:
Classical Piano/Exam repertoire
Contemporary/Pop/Jazz piano
Music Theory/Aural Skills
Composition/Improvisation/Songwriting
Listening/music appreciation skills
I'm not currently taking on new students, but feel free to get in touch and I can add you to my waitlist!
I have an up-to-date Working With Children Check that I can provide on request.
