Piano tuition in Classical, Popular, Easy listening and Jazz piano. Fees are £12.50 half an hour, £20 for 45mins and £25 an hour.
If you are a beginner you would start with the 'John Thompson's easiest piano course' series of books. These start at Book One and go up to Book Four.
If you have played the piano before we would decide on a suitable level of training and go from there. We would look at a range of styles and discuss what you want to study for example if you want to study composition within your lessons.
Music theory can also be incorporated into your lesson. This is especially recommended if you are interested in taking exams as after Grade five you are required to have passed grade five theory before you can continue with the higher practical grades.
For the younger pupils and beginners I ask that they have a notebook in which I can write what they are required to practise for the following week. Older pupils are encouraged to compose their own practise schedule based on what they need to do to progress.
At a later stage you may be informed that you are ready to prepare for an examination with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (See links for additional information). These are completely optional but many students feel it gives them something to work towards. Grade 5 and above now also count towards UCAS points for university.The prices of these range from £23.00- £62.00 depending on the grade you take.
Lessons are for all ages and abilities and are taught in a fun environment by a patient teacher, it is as important to enjoy lessons as it is to progress.
You can book and pay for a trial lesson online. If you want regular lessons you may then but put on a waiting list depending on availability. If you have any questions please email me using the contact form.
Hopefully in the next year a venue will become available so there will be opportunites to perform publically with other pupils.
